Mayweather, who lives in the city, divulged that he spent $1.1million (£870,000) paying for 34 friends to watch the game.

In his first post, Mayweather said: “I don’t kiss ass and I never have to beg for nothing especially not to get a Super Bowl suite.

“I don’t mind accepting invites at times, but one thing’s for sure… the person that’s paying does all the saying.

“Therefore I get my own seats and suites so I can do what I want and invite who I want!

I’m blessed to be taking 34 people to experience the first Super Bowl in Las Vegas! $1,131,000.00.”

After this, Mayweather went on to reveal the $1.1million (£870,000) was nothing to him, as he paid $18million (£14.3million) in tax earlier in the day.

In the game itself, the Kansas City Chiefs pulled off a dramatic win over the San Francisco 49ers in overtime.

This result helped Mayweather claw back some of the money he spent on the suite.

He posted on Instagram on Sunday to show his betting slip post-match.

Mayweather bet $95,000 (£75,000) on the Chiefs to win.

As a result, he won $203,000 (£161,000) on the game.

However, it must be said that the man who earned hundreds of millions on single nights in his fighting prime is used to bigger bets than this.

On the bright side though, his bets this year performed significantly better than in 2023.

Mayweather bet against the Chiefs last year, placing $10,000 ($8,000) on the Philadelphia Eagles to beat Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Andy Reid.

The Chiefs rallied to win Super Bowl LVII, downing the Eagles 38-35, and giving Mayweather’s 10 grand to the house.
