But the fight in Florida turned into a farce when a massive punch up between the two camps saw the whole thing KO’d.
Not only were the opposing corners throwing fists, so too were fans and even celebrities who showed up for the event.
Rapper Big Lex was seen in a scrap with Puerto Rican TV personality Joseline Hernandez backstage in the FLA Arena in Florida.
But that was only part of the carnage inside the place as fans were also captured wildly attacking each other.
One was even hit to the ground which only sparked more bedlam amongst the charged up crowd.
They had come to watch Mayweather in his latest non-sanctioned fight, this time against John Gotti III.
And for the first six rounds, the Hall of Famer was in complete control landing at will and evading any danger coming back his way.
Referee Kenny Bayless warned the pair throughout to stop trading trash talk and start boxing.
But by round six they would not let up on the foul-mouthed insults to the point Bayless actually called off the action.
Although Gotti was having none of it as he refused to let the fight up and immediately chased after Mayweather.
The former pound-for-pound king backed up and defended in retreat as Bayless did his best to try and stop Gotti.
As Mayweather got his back to the ropes, the two began trading leather once more – this time with lawlessly.
That is what sparked the mass melee in the ring as both teams stormed in.
And there was no sign of the brawling ending, causing Mayweather, 46, and Gotti, 30, to be escorted out of the arena.
But the rivalling camps continued to scrap by the ring and backstage, until police were forced to intervene and escort everyone away.
