Floyd Mayweather isn’t known for being humble, and considering his all-time 49-0 boxing record, perhaps that’s warranted.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the best boxer to ever step foot in the ring, Floyd Mayweather is also a prolific sports bettor who is currently on a hot streak. (Image: Ethan Miller\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Affectionately known as “Pretty Boy” and “Money,” the boxing GOAT (greatest of all time) is spending his hard-earned retirement fortune by placing some not-so-casual sports bets. A lifelong gambler who calls the Las Vegas Valley home, Mayweather recently took to Twitter to flaunt a solid recent string of bets.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Mayweather<\/a> told his more than seven million followers that the Atlanta Falcons win over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship netted him a cool $25,000. Floyd wagered $30,000 that Atlanta would cover the game’s entire 3.5-point spread in the first half.<\/p>\n

At halftime, the Falcons were leading 24-0, giving Mayweather another victory. “Just made $25,000 in 30 minutes. The retired life,” he tweeted, referencing the length of an NFL game half.<\/p>\n

Four in a Row, Maybe<\/b><\/h2>\n

Mayweather followed up his Falcons bet by revealing three other previous wins.<\/p>\n

He posted a screenshot showing a $100,000 bet placed on the men’s Cincinnati college basketball team to cover a 16.5-point spread over Tulane. The Bearcats won 78-61, narrowly covering the line and handing Mayweather $90,909.09.<\/p>\n

“On Saturday, 1\/21\/17, I made $90,000 in 40 minutes,” Mayweather revealed, disregarding $900, a sum that is likely negligible in his eyes.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Floyd showed that he put $50,000 on the Golden State Warriors to cover a 5.5-point spread against the Houston Rockets on Friday, January 20. His team won 125-108, and Mayweather won $45,454.<\/p>\n

Finally, on Thursday, Money put $100,000 on Gonzaga giving eight points to Santa Clara. They won easily 88-57, handing Mayweather $86,956.<\/p>\n

Though Pretty Boy is showing his massive wins, it’s unclear if he also incurred losses. Mayweather is known for placing a multitude of bets.<\/p>\n

\n

“I’m one of the biggest sportsbook bettors in Las Vegas,” Mayweather told ESPN recently.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While sports betting is legal in Nevada<\/a>, Floyd said his favorite places to wager money on sports is Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Apparently unbeknownst to Mayweather, gambling on sports is illegal in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

There is speculation that Mayweather might come out of retirement for a shot at winning his 50th fight.<\/p>\n

UFC champ Conor McGregor wants a shot at Floyd, but if the fight happens, oddsmakers are heavily favoring the GOAT. Bovada lists Mayweather at -1600 to McGregor at +800.<\/p>\n

Packers Pack Bet<\/b><\/h2>\n

Entering the NFC Championship against the Falcons, the Green Bay Packers had won eight in a row. That streak was much to the delight of two gamblers who wagered $300 before Thanksgiving on the team making the playoffs.<\/p>\n

They rolled their winnings into a new bet for the Packers’ Wild Card game, and let it ride into the divisional round. Their $300 bet was worth nearly $30,000 heading into the NFC Championship.<\/p>\n

And yes, they let it all ride on the Packers beating Atlanta. The duo would have been looking at over $76,000 with a Green Bay win, and they had no plans of cashing out.<\/p>\n

Should the Packers have beat the Falcons and gone on to win the Super Bowl, the $300 bet would have ended up being worth between $150,000 and $200,000 depending on the odds.<\/p>\n

But following Green Bay’s 44-21 loss in Atlanta, it’s now worth nothing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
