'Money' Mayweather has backed the Miami Heat to win against the Indiana Pacers in game seven of their Eastern Conferecne final series to the tune of £3.85m, according to Business Insider.
Mayweather has previous for betting big on sporting events, regularly tweeting pictures of winning wagers on a whole host of sporting events in the past two years.
The 34-year-old stands to win just under £400,000 if Miami triumph and advance to the NBA finals, with the Heat enjoying home-court advantage against Indiana this evening.
A 30-month deal with Showtime signed earlier this year made Mayweather the highest-earning athlete in the world, despite having no sponsorship deals or product endorsements to his name.
Mexican light-middleweight star Saul Alvarez was chosen by Mayweather as his next opponent last week, with the hotly-anticipated clash due to take place in September 14.
