It must be nice to be ‘Money’ Mayweather.
Mayweather recently allowed a reporter to follow him around during one day of training and during the experience the writer noted Mayweather’s gambling habits:
Another camp member sidled over with a cell phone so Mayweather could check his online gambling account. Regulars at sports books here hardly bother with casinos anymore, save for re-deposits and redemptions. Wagers are placed with the click of a mobile app.
Just not usually to the scale Mayweather does it.
On this day, it seems everyone at Mayweather Boxing Club has taken the Minnesota Timberwolves getting 10 points from the Utah Jazz, and the score was looking good. Everyone would win, including the Timberwolves. Mayweather just would win more. On the cell phone, his account balance glared in large figures at top of the screen: $1,024,782.86.
“Take everything out but leave a million in there,” Mayweather told the clearly trusted employee.
It can’t be bad to have an account of spare money just used as gambling funds. I’m sure that account will get a significant boost on May 3rd when he is paid upwards of $180 Million for the Pacquiao fight.
