Floyd 'Money' Mayweather loves to flaunt his wealth. On Friday, the 50-0 boxer took to social media to brag about his recent $200,000 NFL bet, which earned him a handsome $166,000 profit.

The 43-year-old posted the ticket of his purchase where he bet on the Green Bay Packers to beat San Francisco 49ers. The Packers, who were the favourites to win the game, scored a comfortable, 34-17 win on Thursday, leaving Mayweather $166k richer in the process. The exact payoff figure of the Mayweather NFL bet was $366,666.65.

Mayweather then went on to post numerous clips to his Instagram story, where he was seated in his red Chevrolet Super Sport with wads of cash placed, presumably his winnings, next to him. 'Money' even gave fans a glimpse of his luxury timepiece and diamond-encrusted necklace.

Mayweather net worth

This isn't the first time that Floyd has boasted about his winnings from bets on games. Back in 2017, Mayweather boasted about the $91,000 profit he made within 40 minutes by betting $10,000 on a college basketball game between Cincinnati college basketball team and Tulane. Mayweather made a risky bet that Cincinnati would cover a 16.5-point spread, which they successfully did, winning the game 78-61.

The 43-year-old once made a $45,000 profit from a bet on a game between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets. The Warriors won 125-108, almost doubling Mayweather's profit in the process.
