Terence Crawford has done the unthinkable – the first male boxer ever to become the undisputed champion in three weight classes. On a historic night that saw Allegiant Stadium set a gate record with over 70,000 spectators in attendance, the Nebraskan ring genius outboxed and dethroned the longtime super middleweight king, Canelo Alvarez. Crawford has now entered the conversation as one of boxing’s all-time greats. With millions of fans across the globe watching on Netflix, Zuffa Boxing’s inaugural event appears to have scored a home run.

Terence Crawford will go home wearing all four belts that, just hours ago, belonged to Canelo Alvarez. Both pound-for-pound stars are expected to have received hefty payouts. What’s interesting is how the fight impacted those who put their hard-earned money on Crawford and Canelo. Many, like Bryce Hall, believed the Mexican icon would retain his undisputed title. But with the upset victory, Crawford seems to have lightened their wallets. A few, like Floyd Mayweather and Jason Statham, hit the bullseye.

Floyd Mayweather and Hollywood icon cash in on Crawford’s win

The undefeated former champion’s Instagram post featured no words, just one emoji – the moneybags. The attached picture showed his betting slip. Priced at $50,000, Mayweather was expected to win $74,000 on Terence Crawford. With the unanimous decision going Crawford’s way, Mayweather netted a whopping $124,000.

Like Mayweather, action star Jason Statham, a regular at Riyadh Season events and seated ringside, also expected Crawford to win. While he rated Canelo a ‘genius,’ the star of the Transporter franchise still had his money on the now three-time undisputed champion. “I got my money on Crawford,” he said, laughing it off when asked about the amount.

On the other hand, influencer Bryce Hall wasn’t so lucky. Like many, he put his money on Canelo. The move reportedly resulted in a $200,000 loss. Had Canelo won, aside from recovering the ticket price, Hall could have netted an additional $126,582, making his total windfall a whopping $326,582.

For the record, Floyd Mayweather didn’t pick the right horse for the first time.

Not Mayweather’s first jackpot – others missed the memo

Take last year, for instance. Ironically, he placed bets on fighters appearing on a Crawford card. Wagering on Isaac Cruz to beat Jose Valenzuela, the +455 underdog, Mayweather reportedly bagged $22,750. Then he placed another $5,000 on former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr. to defeat Jarrell Miller. The outcome was no different. The former world champion pocketed $11,750. Thanks to his precision betting, he made around $34,500 from a single card.

A Ring Magazine post revealed how one fan apparently won $2 million by betting on Terence Crawford.

Perhaps the ones who lost should have considered the views of Tim Bradley and Oleksandr Usyk. While acknowledging Canelo’s ring prowess, the Ukrainian champion, who reclaimed his undisputed status two months ago, had long maintained that Terence Crawford would outmatch the Mexican.

For Bradley, it all boiled down to hunger. Dismissing the talk about size and weight, Bradley, who has sparred with Crawford in the past, explained, “(Crawford) still fights like he got $2 in his bank account. That’s why he’s different. A different breed.”

Perhaps what’s more significant is that fans had the chance to witness an outstanding fight. Be it inside or outside the ring, no one has a reason to complain.
