What's up, guys?
Justin here for Complex News.
On Saturday night Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor met up in Las Vegas for one of the
biggest boxing matches in history.
The veteran Mayweather beat out the skilled UFC fighter but novice boxer McGregor in the
tenth round with a TKO victory.
Over 14,000 people were in attendance for the fight including celebrities such as LeBron
James, Jennifer Lopez, Diddy, and Nas.
Speaking to ESPN, Mayweather said he attempted to place a bet that he would win the fight
in 9.5 rounds.
He was turned away from making the bet.
That didn't discourage the boxer, who then gave around $400,000 to a friend to make the
bet on his behalf, though the associate was reportedly only able to bet $87,000.
Some people took to social media to point out the similarity between how Mayweather
thought the fight would go to what happened in reality.
Most chalked it up to the sheer skill and planning of Mayweather while others thought
more nefarious forces were at work.
"Mayweather tried to bet on himself winning in under 9.5 rounds and by knockout.
If he was able to, he would've won the bets.
Coincidence?"
"Also they stop it right at the moment that Mayweather would win his bet of 400k of under
9.5 rounds!!"
"BINGO!
Mayweather bet the under on 9.5 rounds.
It was called just in time.
He wanted to win his bet and still set up possible Re match.
$$$$"
Either way Mayweather made a lot of money from the fight.
Mayweather who rounded out his career to a perfect 50-0 record, reportedly walked away
with at least $200 million.
McGregor made significantly less but still brought in a considerable sum.
But the biggest bet of the evening came from someone who put $1.21 million on Mayweather,
making $242,000 in the process.
"JUST IN: Biggest bet on Mayweather has just been cashed.
Bettor bet $1.21M, netted $242,000 at @WilliamHillUS sportsbook."
In other fight related news, those of you who took your chances by illegally streaming
the fight might be in a little trouble.
Some might have noticed that their stream contained a watermark with random letters
and numbers on it.
The site TorrentFreak thinks that they were used as a type of "homing beacon" to track
illegal streams.
Reports are saying that the tracking was used specifically for those in the U.K., so streamers
based in the U.S. you can chill out as you'll most likely be fine.
About 3 million people streamed the fight through alternative means in total.
Hey, at a price tag of $100 who can blame them?
