In an unexpected turn of events, boxing legend Floyd Mayweather recently held a press conference to address the shocking allegations that he was knocked out by John Gotti III in a secret match and lost a staggering $35 million. The room was filled with media personnel and fans eager to hear Mayweather’s side of the story.


The controversy began when rumors surfaced that Mayweather had been secretly knocked out by Gotti III, the grandson of the infamous crime boss John Gotti, during a private fight. According to these claims, Mayweather not only lost the match but also a substantial sum of $35 million. The allegations quickly spread, causing a media frenzy and raising questions about the authenticity of the claims.

At the press conference, Mayweather, known for his undefeated record and his confident demeanor, was visibly composed. He began by addressing the rumors head-on. “I want to make it clear that the allegations are completely false. There was no knockout, and I have not lost any money,” Mayweather stated firmly.

He went on to explain that the supposed fight never took place and that he has not had any dealings with John Gotti III. “These rumors are baseless and have been fabricated to tarnish my reputation. I have always conducted my career with integrity, and I continue to do so,” Mayweather added.


Mayweather also took the opportunity to emphasize his financial stability, stating that his wealth is well-managed and that he has not suffered any significant financial losses. “My financial team handles my investments and earnings with the utmost professionalism. The idea that I lost $35 million in a single event is absurd,” he said.

John Gotti III, who was also present at the press conference, echoed Mayweather’s sentiments, denying any involvement in the rumored fight. “I respect Floyd as a fighter and a person. These allegations are completely unfounded, and I have no idea where they originated,” Gotti III remarked.

The press conference concluded with Mayweather reaffirming his commitment to the sport of boxing and his fans. “I will continue to train, fight, and entertain my supporters. False rumors will not deter me from pursuing my passion and maintaining my legacy,” he declared.

The press conference has put to rest the swirling rumors and reaffirmed Mayweather’s position as a formidable and respected figure in the boxing world. While the origins of the allegations remain unclear, Mayweather’s response has demonstrated his resilience and dedication to his career.
