According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Mayweather placed a $1 million bet in Vegas that Tom Brady's New England Patriots would beat Tim Tebow's Denver Broncos.
The famous boxer, known for making (and tweeting) some of his big-money bets, reportedly made the wager with the M Resort. However, Mike Colbert, Cantor Gaming sports book director at the resort, would not confirm or deny the rumblings, telling the Journal-Review that he wasn't allowed to comment on who bets. Colbert did, however, acknowledge that the boxer is "a valued customer who frequents the books quite often."
he said he wont comment, nor deny it...he likely did..
Placing that type of loot on a stupid bet is nothing to brag on, as a matter of fact it's beyond careless
when he's guaranteed $25 million in his next fight, that's chump change lol
I thought Mayweather was next to broke due to tax issues.

PBF is the smartest business man is sports entertainment. He makes money of the hot dog sales at the fights.
I guess the big question is did he give the points or take the money line.
Charles Barkley bet half a mil on the Patriots before.

1/25 of someone's yearly income, is hardly "Chump Change". I get what you're saying though, PBF is an idiot.
this proves jesus loves mayweather more than tim tebow.

Or it's a fantastic publicity stunt. Book gets publicity, Floyd gets publicity. Floyd isn't an idiot, he's getting his name out there.
It's only stupid if you lose
