Extremely successful poker player and entrepreneur Dan Bilzerian recently told TMZ that he lost a watch worth $1 million at the event.

TMZ reported, “he was wearing a Richard Mille watch, valued between $950k and $1 million, to the Canelo fight, and at some point, he noticed it went missing from his wrist“.

Bilzerian suspects that the Richard Mille watch was slipped off his wrist by one of the many fans that he took pictures with at the event. The police are now involved and have filed a larceny report for the same.

Dan Bilzerian lost due to Canelo but Floyd Mayweather made him richer

Dan Bilzerian likes to take risks. Some would even say that is his bread and butter. A big risk that he took in a mega boxing event in 2017 paid him huge dividends and made him an even richer man.

In 2017, Floyd Mayweather and UFC superstar Conor McGregor were all set to make their ring walks. Both fighters were about to create history in the ring and Dan Bilzerian was 10 rounds away from seeing a huge bump in his bank account.

The Irishman managed to dance for 10 rounds against the best boxer at the time; despite his surprisingly impressive performance, many in the boxing community still mock him.

In fact, McGregor landed more punches against Mayweather in 10 rounds than Manny Pacquiao did against Mayweather in 12 rounds.

However, Floyd Mayweather ended the fight in round 10 and bagged his 50th professional win. Dan Bilzerian just had to drain big bucks into the pot for Mayweather, who is friends with him.

Dan Bilzerian laid his entire faith into the fists and hands of Floyd Mayweather over Conor McGregor; as a result, he pocketed a whopping $342,150.
