FLOYD MAYWEATHER won a whopping £26,400 ($32,500) by betting on Canelo to lose his light-heavyweight showdown with Dmitry Bivol.
Boxing's pound-for-pound king suffered a unanimous decision defeat to the WBA 175lb champ in Las Vegas early on Sunday morning, with all three judges scoring the bout 115-113 in the Russian's favour.
Defeat to the undefeated Bivol was Canelo's first since his 2013 loss to Mayweather, who bet £8,104 ($10,000) on the Mexican coming up short in his return to light-heavyweight.
Mayweather, 45, shared a receipt of his hefty wager with his 28million Instagram followers moments after the fight.
His accompanying caption read: "Easy pick-up."
Money's legion of followers were quick to comment, with one saying: "Lmaooo you petty."
