We're beginning to think that Floyd Mayweather runs the @Pregame_Steam Twitter account.

Back in early February, the account put up this tweet that said that Money May had bet a whopping $10.4 million on the Broncos to beat the Seahawks in the Super Bowl:

*Betting Info* Floyd Mayweather L48hours bet 10.4Million on Broncos -2 (Action with 7 different shops + 4 offshore accts) 8Million in credit

Mayweather didn't confirm or deny the rumor, though, which led to him getting a ton of free publicity in the days leading up to the big game. In fact, he may have gotten just as much publicity as any player on the Broncos or Seahawks did, thanks to all of the tweets that people sent out about Mayweather before, during, and after the game. But eventually, he revealed that he hadn't actually bet on the game at all:

And now, that same kind of rumor is popping up again—courtesy of another @Pregame_Steam tweet—in the days leading up to the start of the Final Four. According to the account, Mayweather put in an $8 million bet on the Kentucky Wildcats to beat the WisconsinBadgers on Saturday night:

#FinalFour Betting: Floyd Mayweather betting crazy again, Kentucky Wildcats -1.5 for cool $8,000,000 (spread around 9 offshore & Vegas book)

Is there any truth to this? If we had to guess…no. Hell no. But who knows? Mayweather is no stranger to making astronomical bets. So we'll just have to wait and see if he responds to this rumor—or if he waits until the game is over to break the news to us.
