Before his super-fight with MMA star Conor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather tried to make a $400,000 bet on himself, saying that he will beat the Irish star in a boxing match.

Mayweather put up $400,000 at -200 odds betting that the fight would end in under 9.5 rounds. 'Money' was denied this bet as there were concerns regarding a fighter betting on anything apart from a win for himself.

The boxing legend then tried to place a bet on winning by knockout but was denied again.

But there is no need to get sad for the 50-0 boxer as, before the fight, Floyd Mayweather had claimed that he would take home over $300 million for the "money fight" against McGregor.
