Wouldn't it make more sense for him to bet it all on himself? That way, he wins and he's rich.

The bookmakers have the odds in Mayweather's favor though, if he bets on himself he gets only a very small return on investment, whereas if he were to bet on McGreggor and then throw the fight, he would get as much as a 7x return depending on where he made the bet and when. That being said, you'd have to be an idiot to attempt this, you'd piss off anybody that bet on you and may even end up with people gunning for your head because they lost money. Reminds me of the LA Noire mission with the boxer that bet on his opponent and then threw the match and ends up with the mob after him.

With billions he will have body guards for the rest of his life.
