Floyd Mayweather refused to take to the scales after his opponent for this weekend's exhibition John Gotti III tipped the scales considerably heavier.
Gotti III, whose grandfather is the famed leader of the Gambino crime family, weighed in at 181lb, which would put him at a whopping 25lb heavier than the boxer's career-highest of 156lb. Mayweather was announced as making no weigh-in at the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach on a searing hot afternoon shortly after his opponent hit the scales.
Mayweather was in fine form on the microphone, however, reminiscing over his Olympic team days shared with host Antonio Tarver and declaring that he had assisted over 400 local children in various charitable endeavours throughout the week. But things took a turn when he joked that he had already faced Arturo Gatti, which clearly irked the stoic New Yorker.
