Floyd Mayweather has shared betting slips of his winning bet from the Florida vs Alabama college football game.
During his time inside the ring, 'Money' Mayweather used to be the biggest draw in boxing. And even though he's been retired for over eight years now, he still continues make headlines.
During the recent college football game between Florida and Alabama, Mayweather once again madeearned a pretty penny through his favorite pastime- gambling. The Florida State Seminoles managed a 31-17 win against the Alabama Crimson Tide, and Mayweather made two different bets for both halves of the game, losing one and winning the other.
In the first half of the game, Mayweather bet $30,000 on Alabama, which he lost. He then bounced back with a $90,000 bet on Florida in the second-half of the game, winning $180,000. Taking into consideration his initial $30,000 loss, 'Money' made a profit of $60,000 from his two bets.

He has a massive business empire as well, with a strong hold in real estate. Apart from that, Mayweather continues to earn the occasional big buck from his sports betting ventures. With the NFL season kicking off, one can expect 'Money' to be highly active.
While Floyd Mayweather has been long-retired, he still remains a massive superstar, even at the age of 48. Recently, he received a call out from a fellow legend regarding a potential comeback.
'Money' has been involved in an online beef with Roy Jones Jr who has challenged Mayweather to a professional fight to set their differences aside. He said, "Ain’t gonna be no exhibition. I want it real. It makes no sense to be an exhibition. What’re we gonna play for? We both fight for real. No exhibition. We need to make it real. Exhibitions are for people playing. We ain’t playing. I ain’t, anyway."
The chances of the fight happening, though, look slim.
