Money Mayweather

College football is finally here! There’s some great games scheduled for this weekend and we’re ready for the action. You know who else is ready? Floyd Mayweather.

In a fantastic opening weekend inter-sectional matchup, the Crimson Tide begin defense of their national championship as they take on the Michigan Wolverines at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington Saturday night. I have nothing against betting on these games, but really … $3 million?! Even if I had that kind of money, I don’t think there’s ever been a bet I’ve felt that confident about. Mayweather seems to think he knows more than others, though, and is ready to put up $3 million on Michigan +14. Regardless, I am in no position to tell Mayweather what to do, but for someone who doesn’t even have a bank account and just carries cash wherever he goes, just be careful.

P.S. From what we can tell, Mayweather will lose that $3 million this weekend.
