Floyd Mayweather Went On Quite The Shopping Spree After Winning A Boatload Of Money Gambling On College Football

We’re just one month removed from Floyd Mayweather pocketing an estimated $200 million from his victory over Conor McGregor. Despite $22 million passing through his fingers straight into the paws of the IRS, the newly retired boxer set himself up nicely for his next 40 years.

Mayweather has been known to play fast and loose with his money, and recently bragged about how lavishly he’ll continue to live despite venturing into retirement.

“20 years from now, I’ll still be able to buy the same things every month—a nice house, nice car. And everybody knows, I got any kind of car you can name. I been to any country you can possibly name. And 30 years from now, I’ll still have probably a newer jet, still have top-flight cars, and my kids will just be running all my different businesses.”

He may come off like a cocky prick, but he’s not wrong. And these two college football bets he made over the weekend will fatten his wallet by another five figures. Mayweather dropped over $96K on Colorado State and Notre Dame to cover point spreads, and after Colorado State waxed Hawaii 51-21 and Notre Dame handled Miami of Ohio 52-17, Mayweather pocked a cool  $87,428.19.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
