PIC: Floyd Mayweather’s latest bet winnings will make you sick to your stomach

They don't call him 'Money' for nothing

BREAKING – Floyd Mayweather is filthy rich.

Not only is he filthy rich but he remains intent on becoming even more wealthy in his post-boxing days.

The former five-division world champion has been retired for nine months but he’s not exactly struggling to make ends meet.

A keen gambler, Mayweather often places ridiculous amounts of money on sporting events and the latest game to earn Mayweather a tasty payday came last Sunday.

Trailing 3-2 in the Western Conference finals, the Golden State Warriors were underdogs against Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6 of the series but Mayweather had faith in Steph Curry’s otherworldly abilities and dropped a cool $170,000 on the Warriors.

And, as you probably know, the Warriors came good and earned Mr Mayweather a monster windfall of €221,000.

He clearly hasn’t spent a penny of those winnings on a Photoshop tutorial, though, judging by his awful effort at throwing together a fictional fight poster for his never-going-to-happen bout with Conor McGregor.
