Mayweather Attempted To Bet On Himself before a Historical Combat

The fight of the year Mayweather McGregor put sports betting enthusiasts into a frenzy. Many bets were placed, including Mayweather's bet of $400,000 on himself which was refused. Before beating Irish champion MMA Conor McGregor, it seems that boxing legend, Floyd Mayweather, has actually tried to place a $400,000 bet on the bout but was turned down due to legal concerns. The fight saw Mayweather win the 10th round Saturday evening in front of a massive crowd of fans. Sports betting in Canada is huge and fans were more than eager to have the best odds on the best Sportsbook sites. Sources reported that Mayweather visited the M Resort in Las Vegas just hours before his bout with McGregor and asked to place a $400,000 bet on the game. He was trying to put a bet on the bout ending in less than 9.5 rounds which had a 200-to-one chance. Although he had the money in his hand, Mayweather was dismissed because of concerns about whether it was legal to bet on something other than a direct victory by a participant.
