The fallout from Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition boxing match with John Gotti III is getting worse.

After the bout ended in dual disqualifications and a brawl in the ring between both fighters’ camps, Gotti’s sister, Nicolette, allegedly threatened Mayweather’s daughter.

Former Barstool personality Jeff Nadu shared a screengrab of what appeared to be Nicolette’s Instagram Story with a message that 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,” Nicolette allegedly wrote.

“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–t.”

Nicolette’s Instagram page is private as of Monday.

The message did not include Mayweather’s daughters’ names: Iyanna (a.k.a. “Yaya”) and Jirah.

Nicolette and Gotti III’s grandfather, John Gotti, was the boss of the Gambino crime family from 1986-91.

Their father, Gotti Jr. was acting boss of the family when Gotti Sr. was in prison.

Prior to the fight, Mayweather’s daughters teased the public reveal of Yaya’s 2-year-old son, KJ, who she shared with her reported fiancé, rapper NBA YoungBoy (née Kentrell DeSean Gaulden).

“If you want to see KJ for the 1st time tune into my dad’s fight tonight!” Yaya wrote on her Instagram Story.

Mayweather was seen holding his grandson shortly before the melee at FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Fla in a video shared by Yaya’s mother, Melissia Rene.

The fight ended in controversy when Gotti appeared to disagree with referee Kenny Bayless’ stoppage with less than a minute left in the sixth round — and went around the official to attack Mayweather.

That’s when both fighters’ camps rushed the ring and an all-out brawl ensued.

Mayweather and Gotti were then escorted to their respective locker rooms.

Afterward, Rene shared a video of Yaya dancing to her Instagram Story with the caption: “I don’t play about mine.”

Separately, another fight reportedly broke out backstage between rappers and reality TV stars Joseline Hernandez, who performed prior to the fight, and Big Lex.

Gotti is 5-1 as an MMA fighter and holds a 2-0 record as a pro boxer.
