Dana White is known for placing bets on a wide variety of sporting events over the years, but a bet on a boxing match between Jermaine Taylor and Kelly Pavlik cost him big time.
The UFC President revealed that he lost $1 million when he picked Taylor to defeat Pavlik.
“Oh my god. What was the kid’s name? Jermain Taylor. And who did he fight? I know this for the ass-whooping I took. He fought the tall, lanky, white kid from Ohio, Kelly Pavlik. I bet $1 million on Taylor and he got destroyed. It was the first time I ever bet $1 million dollars because I was so confident Taylor was going to win that fight,” Dana White said to ESPN Sports Betting (via BJPenn.com).
White admits that betting on various sporting events makes watching them a lot more fun.
“I’d say it’s about time. I like it. It’s obviously a thing people love to do. It makes whatever you’re watching a lot more fun, a lot more interesting, so I’ve always been for it. But I’m from Vegas,” White said.
