Everyone in the world (I mean on Twitter) seems convinced that boxer and frequent gambler Floyd Mayweather Jr placed a $10 million bet on the Denver Broncos. We’ve known this to be true for days, but still people believe it.

Mayweather tweeted out on Sunday that he didn’t bet on the Broncos, in fact he didn’t bet at all. He released a statement on Instagram that said:

"For the record, I did NOT bet $10 million on The Broncos. As a matter of fact, I didn’t bet at all. I can’t control what rumors that are put out there. Good or bad publicity keeps me relevant. The only thing I would bet $10 million on is MYSELF."

Somebody lied to you all. If I was going to bet, I would have bet on the Seattle Seahawks.... http://t.co/9GIt1IVx7e
