Floyd 'Money' Mayweather bets $15m on Denver Broncos to win Super Bowl

FLOYD Mayweather's nickname is "Money", and with bets like the one he's put on the Denver Broncos to win the Super Bowl, it's no wonder.

Mayweather, a prolific gambler, has reportedly plonked almost $15 million on the Broncos to salute in American football's biggest game, to be played on Monday (EDT) against the Seattle Seahawks.

The Vegas Gambling Steam Twitter feed revealed Mayweather had slapped the monumental $10.4 million wager on the Broncos to beat the Seattle Seahawks by more than two points.

Other reports have Mayweather also betting $2.96 million on the Broncos to be leading at half-time.

The bets are so enormous that they will likely have affected betting lines at some agencies.

As no betting company would be stupid enough to take the bets on their own, Mayweather reportedly used seven different agencies and four offshore accounts in order to make his giant gambles possible.

It's not the first time Mayweather has bet big on sport.

Last year he threw down $220,000 in order to win $200,000 on college football team Texas A&M leading by more than 17 points at half-time against Southe Methodist.
