John Gotti's granddaughter has threatened Floyd Mayweather's family after the pair's massive brawl.
Mayweather's seventh exhibition fight, which took place on Sunday (11 June), ended in quite the controversy after John Gotti III disagreed with referee Kenny Bayliss' stoppage in the sixth round.
Gotti subsequently lashed out at the 46-year-old and, immediately afterwards, both boxers' entourages swarmed the ring, which ended in a pretty intense tussle between the two teams.

Following the fight, both boxers were later escorted to their respective locker rooms.
However, the brawl wasn't just contained to the ring either as footage from the event shows a whole load of scraps breaking out in the stands of the FLA Live Arena in Florida, as well as the back rooms too.
Since the boxing ring antics - Gotti's sister, Nicolette, who is also daughter of John Gotti Jr. and granddaughter to John Gotti, has released a statement following the fight.
Nicolette took to social media and threatened Mayweather's family, claiming she was 'coming for' his daughter.
The Instagram post read: "@floydmayweather your daughter was ran through by [an] animal with 12 different baby mamas -- your little circus animal - [you're] all a pack of zoo animals."
She continued to write: "I swear on my kids I'm coming for your daughter, it may be 2 years 3 years from now, but I'm coming c***."
Her Instagram account is currently private as of Tuesday (13 June).
Nicolette's grandfather, John Gotti, is mostly known for being the former boss of the New York Gambino crime family from the years 1986 all the way through to 1991.
Gotti III and Nicolette's father, Gotti Jr., stood in as the acting boss of the family when Gotti Sr. was in prison.
In a video posted to social media from after the fight, Mayweather, the former boxing world champion, can be heard saying: "That's why they pay the big bucks, because I put on a show."
Mayweather retired from the ring back in 2017, defeating MMA great, Conor McGregor, with an impressive with a record of 50-0 and has subsequently appeared in several exhibitions against various martial artists and YouTube stars.
The fight on Sunday marked the first time Mayweather's exhibition tour had returned to the United States since his eight-round bout with Logan Paul, back in 2021.
Gotti is 5-1 as an MMA fighter and currently also holds a 2-0 record as a pro boxer.
