Floyd 'Money' Mayweather Bets $14.82 Million On Denver Broncos To Win Super Bowl

[big_dog]

FLOYD Mayweather's nickname is "Money", and with bets like the one he's put on the Denver Broncos to win the Super Bowl, it's no wonder. Mayweather, a prolific gambler, has reportedly plonked almost $15 million on the Broncos to salute in American football's biggest game, to be played on Monday (AU EDT) against the Seattle Seahawks.

The Vegas Gambling Steam Twitter feed revealed Mayweather had slapped the monumental $11.86 million wager on the Broncos to beat the Seattle Seahawks by more than two points. Other reports have Mayweather also betting $2.96 million on the Broncos to be leading at half-time.

The bets are so enormous that they will likely have affected betting lines at some agencies.

As no betting company would be stupid enough to take the bets on their own, Mayweather reportedly used seven different agencies and four offshore accounts in order to make his giant gambles possible. http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/more-sports/floyd-money-mayweather-bets-15m-on-denver-broncos-to-win-super-bowl/story-fnii0hmo-1226812115649

"Somebody lied to you all," Mayweather tweeted. "If I was going to bet, I would have bet on the Seattle Seahawks. I'm the best defensive fighter, it's only right to go with the best defensive team."

On Mayweather's Instagram account, part of a message read: "I did NOT bet $10 million on the Broncos. As a matter of fact, I didn't bet at all. I can't control what rumors that are put out there. … The only thing I would be $10 million on is myself."
