Floyd Changes His Tune, Planning To Bet Big On Himself

Floyd “Money” Mayweather plans to bet on himself in his upcoming fight against UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor.

On Wednesday, Mayweather talked to USA Today following the final press conference for his upcoming fight. During his interview, Mayweather said he will bet money on him defeating McGregor.

“You guys will see the ticket. Don’t worry,” Mayweather said. “You guys will see the betting ticket. I can’t really say what’s the number, but I will bet something heavy. Will it be my biggest ever? Most likely.”

Mayweather went on to predict what will take place during his fight on Saturday night.

“I have said it is not going the distance, and you can mark my word,” Mayweather said. “I am going to go out there and do what I do best. I am going to go out there, fight, be smart, take my time, and be victorious. It is totally different once you get inside that squared circle.

“It is going to be a cakewalk. I don’t worry about nothing. Ain’t nobody who can beat me. I am the best boxer that ever lived.”

Mayweather vs. McGregor will take place Aug. 26 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
