Largest Earnings On Boxing Bets

[JC2006]

I know there was a thread on this last year but I can't find it when I search... so what is everybody's biggest wins? I remember one guy claiming he made at least a million off Douglas/Tyson... Whether it was true or not remains to be seen. :rasta

A million is bullshit. You can't win that much from legitimate oddsmaker unless you're rich to begin with. But this was a great fight to come up with:'

"In the world of Las Vegas sports wagering, there's no such thing as a "sure thing." Never was that old adage truer than on that February night when the 42-to-1 long shot shocked the world by knocking out Tyson in the tenth round to become the new heavyweight champion. One bettor had placed $1,500 on Douglas at 38-to-1 for a $57,000 payday."
