Floyd Mayweather Won Almost $40k Betting on the Bulls Last Night

Boxer Floyd Mayweather won $37,272.75 last night on the Bulls. He tweeted "My lil brother Derrick Rose will always get you Paid" along with a picture of the betting slip which shows he made a halftime bet that the Hawks wouldn't outscore the Bulls by 6 or more the rest of the game. The Bulls outscored the Hawks 42-38 in the 2nd half.


I think this is exactly the purpose of twitter the founders had in mind when they created it - so famous people could post pictures of the ridiculous awesome shit they do. I can't even imagine betting $41k on something. I'd be nervous betting $41k even if my odds were 100% to win. That amount of money is clearly nothing to him so winning $37,272.75 is just like extra fun money. It's a lock he went out and spent that on coke, booze and strippers. Must be nice.

I'm pretty sure Mayweather has a gambling problem. Problem? She's the problem! She slept with the entire offensive-line of the Arizona Cardinals! I digress. Point in case:

11/08/10 - $110,000 on the Steelers -3.0 in the first half

12/25/10 - $40,000 on the Heat +4.5 in the second half

12/26/10 - $10,000 on the Buccaneers -3.0 in the second half

2/25/11 - $30,000 on the Suns -2.0 in the first half

2/25/11 - $20,000 on the Wizards +9.5 in the second half

He just so happened to win all these bets he posted on twitter which means there's also a ton more that he lost and didn't post. MTV should have a reality show where Mayweather, John Daly and Charles Barkley all live together in a casino in Vegas and the cameras just follow them around gambling and drinking. I would definitely watch that.

UPDATE: Well the booze part is confirmed. He just tweeted "We pop bottles the size of PreSchool Kids lol" along with this picture. I'm a little bit jealous right now.
