The fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and John Gotti III came to a chaotic end with the fighters’ teams entering the ring in a wild melee on Sunday night, and the war of words continued on social media.
Mayweather’s family appeared to face a racially charged threat on social media from Gotti’s sister, Nicolette. Barstool’s Jeff Nadu captured Nicolette Gotti’s words directed at the boxer’s daughter, Yaya. Gotti has since made his Instagram private amid the uproar after the fight.

«[Floyd Mayweather] his daughter was run over by [an] animal with 12 different baby mums – your little circus animal – [you’re] a whole herd of zoo animals,» apparently wrote, referring to rapper NBA YoungBoy, who has a son with the boxer’s daughter. «I swear on my children that I will come for your daughter, it may be 2 years, 3 years from now, but I will come ct.»
