The Mayweather wager was extensively reported on (and heavily doubted) throughout the day on Monday.

The bet was placed at Las Vegas’ Sunset Station with a ticket offered as proof. 

Well, okay, there are many pointing out that the ticket in question that surfaced on Twitter earlier this evening may be a hoax.  Experts point out the questionable time stamp and the ability to immediately void said tickets although those familiar with the Sunset Station sportsbook insist they would never take a bet this big.

Talked to a source at Stations and told the Mayweather ticket floating around is as real as a ROLEX being sold at the gas station.

If the story is true, this bet is believed to be one of the biggest single sports bets ever placed in Las Vegas.

Miami beat Indiana 99-76 and advance to the NBA Finals for the third straight year.  They are the favorite to win the series against the San Antonio Spurs
