The Chiefs were looking to score an unprecedented piece of history, by picking up their third consecutive Super Bowl crown.

But Mayweather decided to back the opposition, backing the Eagles to clinch their second ever Super Bowl, having won the competition in 2018.

And the boxing legend placed a $40,000 bet on the franchise, which was the correct choice. As a result Mayweather pocketed $29,629.65 in total winnings, with the bet returning a tidy $69,629.65.

He also placed a separate bet of $30,000 on the same outcome, but just in the first half, which landed him another $29,126.20 in winnings, with a total take-home fund of $59,126.20.

It saw him collect an overall of close to $60,000, a successful night at the office for the 47-year-old.
