There are no belts on the line in this exhibition contest.
Mayweather amassed a 50-0 record during his time as a professional boxer, winning 15 major world championships from super featherweight to light middleweight.
The 46-year-old won the Ring magazine title in five weight classes and the lineal championship in four different divisions, and Pretty Boy is widely regarded as one of the best fighters of all time.
Mayweather retired with an umblenished 50-0 professional record.
The unbeaten Michigan man defeated top-level fighters Canelo Alvarez, Manny Pacquiao, Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya and Marcos Maidana in what was a glittering career.
Money also defeated Conor McGregor in his final professional boxing contest, but the 46-year-old has since gone on to fight in a series of exhibition events.
Pretty Boy has seen off the challenge of Logan Paul and Aaron Chalmers amongst others, and he has again been victorious in the three of those bouts that were scored contests.
Gotti has contested six MMA bouts, winning his opening five contests, but suffering a defeat in the last of those against Nick Alley.
The latest of those fights came back in 2020 and the Floridian, who operates in the light-heavyweight division, has since had two professional boxing bouts.
Gotti has been successful in both of his ventures into the boxing ring, with one victory coming by stoppage, although both were extremely low-key contests. The latest took place in January against Alex Citrowske.
