Floyd Mayweather really lived up to his nickname of “money” when he decided to lay down a bet on the Michigan/Bama game. Even though Michigan is a 14 point underdog, Mayweather put $3 million on the Wolverines. Mayweather took the 14 points, and allegedly he had to spread out his bets across three casinos. The boxer is no stranger to big bets. He made headlines when he won $1.8 million during the NBA playoffs after taking the Clippers against the Grizzlies in the first round.

Mayweather has not yet confirmed the story, and he is a man who likes to brag and post his betting slips on Twitter. He better update his iPod and download the “I love you Denard” song STAT!
