They don’t call him Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. for nothing. The 48-year-old boxing legend made a boatload of cash betting big on Terence Crawford to upset Canelo Alvarez on Saturday night.

Mayweather Jr. has made $1.2-$1.5 billion in his boxing career and can afford to place big bets. He’s known as a big gambler and has his main residence in Las Vegas, Nevada. He also walks around with a million in cash in his backpack with his security with him and isn’t shy about countIng his fight purses on social media.

After showing off he won on the +148 Crawford on Saturday and scoring $74k, Mayweather Jr. turned his attention to the WNBA playoffs and the hometown Las Vegas Aces who have been as hot as Crawford entering the postseason on a 16-game winning streak. As such, Mayweather put $20k on the Aces to win the first half of Game 1 vs. the Seattle Storm by 3.5 points on Sunday.
