Well this is interesting. Floyd Mayweather won huge last night by betting again — but it wasn’t the champ that showed off how his bet paid off big — it was ESPN. Why? Because he was quick to pick up his LARGE amount of cash. Check out what happened…
Via ESPN:
Two last-second interceptions returned for touchdowns by the Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals delivered million-dollar blows to Las Vegas sports books, including a $600,000 hit from boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib picked off New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith and returned it 22 yards for a touchdown that covered the point spread in the Broncos’ 31-17 win. Mayweather bet $815,000 on the Broncos to beat the Jets by more than 7.5 points. He laid -130 juice and collected $1.4 million from the CG Technology sports book at the M Resort.
CG Technology’s vice president of race and sports, Jason Simbal, confirmed the bet to ESPN.
“Floyd didn’t watch the game here,” Simbal said, “but he certainly showed up shortly thereafter to cash.”
