Floyd Mayweather likes to gamble, and he likes to win, which was why Sunday night was a good night for the retired boxing legend.<\/p>\n

Floyd Mayweather winning $100,000 on video poker is a bit like you or me winning $5 on a scratch card. But as anyone who ever won $5 on a scratch card knows, it feels pretty damn good. (Image: TMZ Sports)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Following last year\u2019s much-hyped bout with Conor McGregor<\/a>, the Las Vegas resident\u2019s latest opponent was a Ten Play Draw Poker machine at an unnamed Las Vegas casino. Let\u2019s just say the machine did not know what hit it.<\/p>\n

Max-betting all the way at $125 per hand, Mayweather hit a royal flush, at odds of around 40,000 to 1, to collect $101,250. Ten Play Draw Poker allows you to play 10 hands at once, which means Mayweather was betting $1,250 on every deal for the maximum $100,000 possible payout per played hand. We guess that\u2019s why they call him \u201cMoney.\u201d (The extra $1,250 was just for a chump change extra hand that paid out at the same time).<\/p>\n

High-Rolling History<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Mayweather took to Instagram to post a screenshot of his winnings. According to TMZ,<\/em> he began the night with $20,000, but that\u2019s just a drop in the ocean for a man who has been involved in the three biggest bouts \u2013 financially speaking \u2013 in the history of boxing.<\/p>\n

\n

Forbes<\/em> estimated in July 2017 that Mayweather’s career earnings were approaching $1 billion after the McGregor fight. He is the most lucrative pay-per-view attraction of all time — his bout with Manny Pacquiao hav ing generated $600 million alone — of which he took a $260 million cut.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mayweather\u2019s high-stakes escapades, often documented on his social media channels, have become legendary, although what constitutes “high stakes” to us is just short change to the 50-fight undefeated multiple world champion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Between August 2010 and February 2012, for example, he claimed he placed 46 winning bets in a row for a total of $3,938,722 in winnings.<\/p>\n

In 2013, he reportedly bet $5.9 million on the Miami Heat beating the Indiana Pacers for a profit of $6.49 million.<\/p>\n

$13 Million Super Bowl Bet <\/strong><\/h2>\n

But while he may be undefeated in the ring, he\u2019s not invincible in a sports book. In 2014, he claimed to have an unverified $13 million riding on Super Bowl XLVIII between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks. Mayweather backed the Broncos, who lost by the largest margin for a favorite in Super Bowl history.<\/p>\n

If the rumors are true, Mayweather may be planning one more big gamble: stepping back into the ring against McGregor<\/a>, this time in a mixed-martial arts format.<\/p>\n

The boxer is said to have begun MMA training and told TMZ<\/em> recently he plans to apply for an MMA license.<\/p>\n

If it happens, for the first time in his career the bookies will have him as a big underdog. Mayweather’s previous attempts to bet on anything but a straight win were denied at the M sports book, where he tried to bet $400,000 on the fight ending in under 9.5 rounds at -200 odds. He was told only a bet on a straight win would be allowed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
