They call him “Money” for a reason.
Professional boxer and serial gambler Floyd Mayweather cashed in on UConn’s 60-54 victory over Kentucky in Monday’s NCAA men’s basketball championship game, earning a cool $75,000 on a series of bets he placed on the Huskies before the Final Four.
Mayweather bet on both of UConn’s Final Four appearances, and he was rewarded with a $75,636.35 payout.
Mayweather confirmed his haul by tweeting a photo of his winning betting slips on Twitter.

The outspoken boxer hasn’t been shy about betting on sports in the past. During the 2013 college football season, Mayweather said he put down $300,000 on Texas A&M and quarterback Johnny Manziel in an SEC matchup against Arkansas.
After Monday night’s big payout, we might be seeing more pictures of betting slips from Mayweather in the future.
