Watch: Mayweather furious with ref call
Here's the moment of madness that almost brought Mayweather and Gotti's exhibition to an end.
Round two
What on earth is going on?!
This exhibition is descending into another farce as Mayweather fumes after the referee deemed him to have struck Gotti on the back of the head.
He's absolutely livid with that call, and Gotti is now taking his time in the corner as is his right.
Incredibly, we now look to have a new referee in the ring too!
Floyd was not at all happy with the last official and seems to have swapped him for a backup ref. Just when you thought you'd seen it all...
Round one
It's a comfortable opening round for Mayweather as expected.
The boxing legend is slowly easing himself into this one, with Gotti enjoying a very brief flurry at one stage. But it's clear who's in control.
There's some confusion at the end of the round as Gotti and Mayweather seem bemused at the fact it's over after two minutes!
Did no one tell them?
Ding ding!
The first bell has sounded to begin tonight's fight in Mexico City!
How is this one going to play out?

How the first fight ended
Mayweather and Gotti's initial meeting last year ended in chaos, of course, when a mass brawl broke out between both teams. Here's how it went down:
Who was John Gotti?
John Gotti, the late grandfather of Mayweather's opponent tonight, remains one of the most powerful mob bosses of all time 22 years on from his death.
Gotti was the head of the feared Gambino crime family. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1992 after being convicted of murder and other counts, before dying behind bars a decade later.
Ahead of his rematch with Mayweather, Gotti III revealed what his grandfather would have made of the mass brawl that broke out last time.
Stars are out in Mexico
NBA icon Anthony Davis is in Mexico for tonight's showdown between Mayweather and Gotti.
There are even rumors that the Lakers power forward and Minnesota Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards will be walking out with Floyd to the ring...
We shall see!
What time does it start?
Tonight's card got underway at 7:30pm ET, with the main event expected to begin just after midnight.
Mayweather and Gotti will battle it out over eight two-minute rounds, as was the case in their first fight.
Good evening!
Hello and welcome to Mail Sport's coverage of tonight's remtatch between Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III over in Mexico City.
Mayweather is gearing up for yet another exhibition after his retirement from boxing as he prepares to share the ring with the grandson of infamous crime boss John Gotti for a second time.
