Floyd Mayweather, Jr. lost around $900,000 gambling on NFL games and he blames the early season replacement referees.

Speaking to Jim Rome, Mayweather claimed he gambled $900,000 on the Packers to beat the Seahawks in a controversial game where Seattle won on a Hail Mary in the final seconds. One of the replacement refs ruled in favor of the Seahawks despite videotape clearly showing Green Bay had intercepted the ball.

Mayweather is known for his heavy sports betting and often posts photos of his tickets on Twitter.
