The action of course is coming in Las Vegas, Nevada, where sports betting nets Nevada casinos well over $100 million annually in revenue. It’s a small chunk of the overall pie, however, as casino win amounts to nearly $11 billion annually.
Live poker and sports betting are about equivalent in the Silver State.
In some sense, sports betting is a draw to help bring people into casinos in order for them to spend on other activities. New Jersey, for example, is fighting the major sports leagues in its quest to authorize the business for struggling Atlantic City properties.
The 36-year-old Mayweather is currently undefeated as a professional. He is a five-division world champion, having won eight world titles and the lineal championship in three different weight classes. He’s from Michigan, but now lives in Las Vegas.
According to Forbes, his career boxing earnings have reached $350 million.
There hasn’t been any public acknowledgement by Mayweather with regards to the bets.
Not everything went right for undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather on Saturday night.
Multiple sources told ESPN that Mayweather went into the sportsbook at the M Resort in Las Vegas at around 3:30 p.m. PT Saturday with cash and plans to bet on his fight against UFC star Conor McGregor.
Mayweather attempted to place a $400,000 bet on the fight ending under 9.5 rounds at -200 odds, but according to a source, there were concerns over the legality of a fighter betting on anything other than a straight win, which caused a delay.
Mayweather then tried to bet on himself to win by knockout, but was unhappy about having to wait to place the wager and left without getting the bet down, the sources said.

'He was pissed,' one source said.
The sources weren't sure whether he placed the bet at another sportsbook.
Mayweather, who went off as a -500 favorite at most sportsbooks, stopped McGregor 1 minute, 5 seconds into the 10th round. Mayweather would have won either attempted bet: under 9.5 or to win by knockout.
'I think that we bet 100 on 9½,' Mayweather told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio after the fight. 'I gave my guy six figures to go bet. I have to make sure he bet because earlier today I went to the sports book to bet and they wouldn't let me bet.'
