Meanwhile, it was noted that Floyd Mayweather lost his main bet on Sunday night’s Super Bowl LVII as the Philadelphia Eagles were beaten by the Kansas City Chiefs, but later revealed he still came out making money.
The retired 50-0 boxing legend was in attendance at the State Farm Stadium to watch the game and insisted he was happy with his overall betting performance. Mayweather initially posted on Instagram showing his main bet on the result of the game. He staked $10,000 on the Eagles to win.
Despite being 24-14 ahead at half-time, they ultimately lost 38-35 to the Chiefs.
At full-time though, Mayweather replaced this Instagram post with another one which revealed he had actually come out on top after all. He posted a second bet slip which showed he’d also staked $10,000 on the Eagles to lead at half-time with a pay-out of $20,500.
