With a nickname like “Money” it’s only fitting that superstar boxer Floyd “Money” Mayweather would do what he did last night at the M Resort in Las Vegas.
During halftime of the Bulls/Hawks game last night, Mayweather felt that luck was on his side and decided to make a $41,000 bet that Atlanta wouldn’t outscore the Bulls by six points or more in the second half.
Yeah you read that right, $41,000.
The bet he laid down was the Bulls getting 5.5 points.
Since the Bulls were already “murking” the Hawks 72-43, Atlanta became the second half “favorite.”
With Derrick Rose and the Bulls crushing the Hawks 114-81, Mayweather easily won the bet and was awarded $37,272.75, darn near doubling what he originally put down.
After receiving his winnings, Mayweather decided to do what he does best, which is flaunting and/or talking about money, and tweeted a picture of the betting slip with the words, “My lil brother Derrick Rose will always get you Paid.”
The tweet has since been deleted. Maybe he still owes money to the I.R.S. or someone else.
Jorgen Johnson, who is the M Resort sportsbook supervisor, told ESPNChicago.com columnist, Jon Greenberg that he couldn’t comment on Mayweather’s gambling transaction.
Jorgen Johnson –
“We can’t really discuss it. It’s a privacy issue. He does like to put his tickets on Twitter.”
Now for those of you who have a Twitter account and follow the Manny Pacquiao dodging, money flaunting boxer, you already know that this isn’t the first time he has tweeted out a betting slip.
Back on Christmas Day, “Money” tweeted out a betting slip after placing a $40K bet on the Heat/ Lakers game that day.
I am sure this wont be the last betting slip “Money May” will tweet out.

*Update* Floyd Mayweather Jr. does it again! Bets on Duke on 3/24 and Wins 90K

It's so obvious by the righter of this story that there is no objectivity. Clasic hater.
Sore that you don't have it like he does.

LMAO!!!! Whatever. Look…….until you can learn how to spell the word \”writer\” correctly any opinion you have is irrelevant. Go back to school and get your G.E.D then we can talk. Until then….
You can also mention that the correct spelling for "Clasic" is Classic. Not to mention "Sore that you don't have it like he does." is not a well written sentence. This just proves why writing fundamentals are so important. Did I also mention your website checks for common spelling errors.
Geez, it looks like "Money" might have some sort of gambling problem. I wonder if he'll tweet about those $41,000 bets that he loses. Save your money, Floyd. Those million dollar paydays won't last forever.
He should just put that money up and sign the deal with Pac Man already….we all want to see it..
LOL! When I read the comment about "righter" and "clasic," I was thrown off track and thought we were talking about Grammar 101. I don't think the "righter" of that comment realizes there is a spell-check feature. Incidentally, I like this website a lot and wish I had seen it before now.
More power to Floyd on making a sound investment.
He obviously knows his hoops.
Not enough to pay his legal fees.LMFAO!!! He needs Pacman to help him out but he is so scared of him he priced himself out!!!KFC
This ain't boxing news. Still, that was a helluva good bet by Mayweather. Smart. Wish I had $41k to use like that.
Floyd Money Mayweather could have been a great fighter should have been ranked as the best of his era! However by not fighting Pacman one could argue that he only fought fighter well past their prime or at the right time. Until he fights the Pacman he will always just another chump not champ! He should stop flaunting and start signing to fight the Pacman! Mayweather should do what fighters do which is fight and let others do the flaunting for him! As is now Floyd is a Fraud! and not the money he claims to be!
floyd is not money he's a fraud for not fighting the Pacman do notice that floyd is spelled with a lower case letter and Pacman is spelled with a Larger case lettering because floyd is a lower case person and is not worthy of captiol lettering small guy!
That looks like one of my betting slips, without the zero's. $41 to win $37 ha.
Congrats PBF! Overall though, how much have you lost before you won? Loses minus winning, are you ahead?
As soon as Mayweather fights Pac, all the haters will just find another fighter to say he is dodging, Pacman is not the first fighter Floyd has been accused of dodging, for year we had to listen to all of you claim Floyd was afraid, first it was Corales, then Chavez, then Castillo, and then my personal favorite N'dou, thats about the time all you non fight fans started in about Judah, and then he refused to fight Hatton.
Floyd sent Pac a contract, it was a 50/50 split (no pricing himself out), Pac refused to sign it based on drug testing.
But some how you guys decide that Floyd is dodging him, how about Pac wont fight anyone until after Floyd beats them? seems to be the case now.
Anyways great site, first time here and I have added it to my favorites.
Good point about the IRS, but I doubt they read this collumn or twitter; they might try to tax him for it. I think you gotta win over 50,000 for the casino to take your information and report it to them for taxes.
Machoninja…what are you thinkin man?? Floyd could have fought Pac like he fought everyone else before him but had to slander him in public to the point of lawsuit.Pacman who was and is the champ did not see how someone challenging the champion should insist on something beyond the rules of the commission(and there was no 50/50 split).He eas since agreed more than once to all demands and has been tested cloer to fight time than KFC ever has.Get your facts straight son!!
first off my friend that law suit that was filed will b dismiss ,simply because memory serves me right PFM,did not make those comments it was his father.since we r on the fact of some1 slandering his name why is he not suing paul M.WHO PUBLICLY SAID THAT PACMAN WAS ON DRUGS.DO U SEE THE DOUBLE STANDARD,OR SHOULD I SAY THE COLOR STANDARD. BUT just for u i let u know ,and i do believe u know that all of that has nothing to do with manny but FREDDY ROACH AND HIS MANAGER DUVA,
PBF is concidering to fight Paul Spadafora comes summer 2011? Who the heck is Spadafora?
Paul Spadafora was an alphabet org. champ a few years back prior to ending up in jail. Very tough kid with good skills but too small to challenge PFB. That's probably why PFB may fight him. PFB will fight Pac but he wants him to have a few more hard fights. Once Pac has a fight where he has to dig deep for a hard contested win, only then will PFB sign, hoping that these fights have taken a toll on Pac. PFB wants his challengers to be either shopworn or too small (or both). He won't take a fight with a fresh, in his prime, equal size fighter. He wants his challengers to have recently been through a gruelling, rough, damaging fight. In the meantime, he doesn't fight anyone, patiently waiting for the right smaller, shopworn challenger.
can u name a fighter that pacman fought in his last fight that has not lost prior to fighting pacman .in his last few fight. u say delahoya.cotto,hatton,clottey.margarito.so my friend u get u facts right. Stop judging his character as a man and speak on his skill as a boxer
As a current Vegas taxpayer……..the "M" Resort wouldn't let PBF keep playin if he was ahead by alot. Yes PBF had a good 3 weeks around the first months of the year and during the holidays but the cat has been slowing down a bit.
This only his 2nd tweet in more than 30 days. Ima not hatin,…..just wish i had the money to even make his tickets. I'm in "FATZ" league…….my tickets look more like $41 to win $37!!!!
we need 2 stop looking at his life style and asses him on his performance in the ring
