Floyd Mayweather Wins $100k Slot Machine Jackpot

A couple of weeks after earning a few hundred million dollars fighting Conor McGregor in Las Vegas, Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather Jr. has cleaned up once more, this time by taking down a slot machine jackpot worth around $100,500 (£78,000). What’s more, it appears the win came shortly after the 40 year-old undefeated boxing champion had already won around $70,440 (£54,000) at the casino.
Pleased about his winning ways, Mayweather subsequently posted an online video of himself holding a bunch of betting slips, before pointing to a slot machine, stating:
“There’s $70,000 here, but I just hit the jackpot right here.”
Later, Mayweather followed up by posting another video online of himself, this time surrounded by the stacks of cash he had just won, stating that he was then heading off to the strip club he own called Girl Collection. Nevertheless, Mayweather is known for his flamboyance and regularly posting photos of himself flaunting his incredible wealth, which according to some estimates may be in excess of $1 billion (£772m).
Interestingly, a newspaper story came out recently which claimed that the boxer owed $22.2 million in back taxes from 2015, and ahead of his recent fight McGregor said that the reason Mayweather came out of retirement and accepted the fight was because he was in a “dire situation.” However, Mayweather has since posted a message online scoffing at the suggestion, saying that he paid Uncle Sam $26 million in 2015, and that he would have been notified if there had been any discrepancies in his accounts. As he wrote:
“Bottom line, everybody just wants to be a part of the “Money May” show, including the IRS! That’s fine, you can crunch numbers all day but in the end, my empire is rock solid and intact! Now Calculate That! #TMT #FloydMayweather #TBE #Mayweather”
Floyd Mayweather retired last month after an incredible boxing career dating back to 1996, and in the process surpassed by one win the record set by Rocky Marciano (49–0), who retired in 1955.
