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.

Party in the City Where the Heat is On

It is being reported that Lebron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade will sign with the Miami Heat when free agency starts on Thursday. This news comes a few days after it was reported that Lebron and Bosh to Chicago was a "done deal". I don't believe anything with Lebron news until it actually happens so take this news with a grain of salt but I have been predicting Lebron to the Heat all along. The Heat will have to move Beasley and his laziness if they want to free up enough cap space to sign the 3 but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

P.S. Hey Blog Dylan, I listened to the podcast...specifically the part where you called me out about predicting Lebron to the Heat because you picked the Bulls...how's that karma treating you Riiiiccckkkyyy?
