Floyd Mayweather Jr. to enter $100k high stakes Vegas football contest

In one corner is Steve Fezzik, a back-to-back winner of the Las Vegas Hilton SuperContest, the most prestigious of all NFL handicapping contests. In another corner might be Floyd Mayweather Jr., one of the greatest boxers in history and a sports bettor on the side. This fall’s megafight between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao is off, but Mayweather and Fezzik could be ready to get it on. And if that’s true, Fezzik is a heavy favorite. Rumors are circulating that Mayweather plans to enter the new $100,000-entry fee Cantor High Stakes Football Contest at the M Resort. Fezzik is a confirmed contestant; Mayweather is not in yet. “You’ve got to really know what you’re doing,” said Fezzik, who would “strongly discourage” square bettors from entering sharp contests. — Las Vegas Review-Journal
