Promoter and former fighter Oscar De La Hoya shared his opinion on the fight between former American world champion Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III.

"Floyd Mayweather had another exhibition fight against Gotti on Saturday. A real s***show that made the crowd boo at the end.

But in the middle of the second round, Floyd literally changed the referee. He didn't like it when the referee told him to stop hitting from behind the head. Floyd is used to getting away with everything, but this time he didn't.

It was so awkward. Floyd, you're 50 years old, a legend of the sport. I've defended you in countless interviews, including Shannon Sharpe's podcast last week, but you need to stop embarrassing yourself with these exhibitions.

Mayweather retired from professional boxing in 2017 with a perfect record of 50-0 but continued to participate in lucrative exhibition fights with influencers, reality stars, and others.
