Some folks might have seen the Chick-fil-A Bowl as just another chance for Auburn to lose a game. Floyd “Money” Mayweather apparently just saw dollar signs.
Among other healthy bowl game wagers, the undefeated professional boxer took Auburn +1 over Virginia at halftime with an $80,000 bet. The Tigers were up 28-17 at the half. If we read his receipt correctly—he tweeted a photo of it before starting a 90-day jail sentence — Mayweather was up $72,727.25… $2,500 of which will likely go toward the fine for his domestic violence charges.

out of all the major bowls, this and the orange bowl have been the only two that weren’t down to the fourth quarter/OT. Now its up to LSU to join Auburn and West Virginia in the blow out winning trend
We were underdogs at the half?!
@TC it appears we were. They were gashing us with the passing though, but how do you not take a bet with a team getting +1 that was already up 11??? Heck I’d have taken it if I had been somewhere I could place a bet.
