Floyd Mayweather: Boxer boasts of $827K gambling win


(CNN): Floyd "Money" Mayweather has stayed true to his nickname by posting online pictures of a series of winning bets that earned him nearly $1 million.

After beating Manny Pacquiao to earn a reported $180 million in boxing's richest ever fight in Las Vegas on May 2, the American added $827,000 to his fortune gambling on a combination of NBA games and the bout between middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin and Willy Monroe.

The 38-year-old's social media accounts -- he has 7 million followers on Instagram and over 6 million on Twitter -- are a testament to his love of conspicuous consumption, detailing his devotion to luxury goods collection: from private jets to jewelery, sports cars and yachts.

Mayweather isn't the only celebrity gambling huge amounts of money.

In a radio interview in March, American rapper 50 Cent said he would bet $1.6 million on Mayweather to beat Pacquiao, saying he didn't have any doubts that "Money" would win at the MGM-Grand in Las Vegas.

And actor Mark Wahlberg reportedly made a $250,000 bet with rapper P. Diddy that Pacquiao would win.

Fools and their money.......

Posted a few of his bets in the past, must be a massive loser if he's still getting bets on that size

Once he stops fyting and continues gambling he will end up in da poor house

Its his money, let him do what he wants to with it and good luck to him.

1. Floyd M doesn't post his losing bets; and

2. our own davetheflower cannae get 200/100

True Mac we don't highlight our losses as much as our big wins, he must have a big bookie that meets him head on?
Without using Google I remember about a very rich man that lost his fortune at Monte Carlo I am sure he owned Citroën?

It's also all relevant

I'm skint so a £50 bet is massive to me

Floyd is loaded so his bankroll massive so his $500k is like my £50

And end up like Mike Tyson. Broke!!!!!

Biggest punter in the world! Tiger Woods 2nd.
