But then someone stepped up to the window at the South Point Casino and bet $880,000 on Mayweather to even things out a bit. @VSiNLive pic.twitter.com/Kw4VGDOQPe — Mitch Moss (@MitchMossRadio) August 11, 2017The bet was so large South Point’s computers got confused. An $880,000 bet on Mayweather as a -550 favorite will give this bettor a $160,000 profit, not the $120,000 as noted on the ticket. As explained by Purdum, South Point’s bookmaking system that does not permit payouts of greater than $1 million, hence the smaller amount on that ticket. Anyway, MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani posted another video of McGregor training Friday evening and, well, um … either he’s playing possum or is in a world of trouble.
