Boxers Jumping on the Online Casino Bandwagon
The boxing world has had a long-standing connection with the gambling world. Betting on boxing matches has been done – legally or illegally – for decades. Naturally, boxers can’t be involved with betting during their time in the ring. But it’s only natural for former boxers to get involved with batting in one way or another once they retire.
Interestingly, not all former boxers are staying focused on boxing or sports betting. Many are finding enjoyment from online casinos, an industry that has taken off in recent years thanks to improvements in game play and the accessibility of these platforms thanks to mobile devices. It also helps that there are many lucrative casino bonuses available for both new and returning players at online casinos. With so much driving people to these platforms, let’s look at a few former boxers who are jumping on the online casino bandwagon.
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
It shouldn’t be a surprise that someone known as “Money” Mayweather has gravitated toward betting after retiring from the ring. The guy did enjoy a rather extravagant lifestyle during his career as one of the greatest boxers of all time and arguably the best of the 21st century. In retirement, Mayweather has made several high-profile sports bets but also gotten involved with various online casino games. Nobody can deny that Mayweather had an intense competitive spirit, which is something that doesn’t go away when someone retires. Presumably, online casino games have become a way that Mayweather can feed that competitive side to him without having to visit an actual casino and draw a crowd.
Manny Pacquiao
In addition to being a national hero in the Philippines and a renowned boxer, Pacquiao has a great passion for gambling. He’s particularly fond of poker, among other casino games. Of course, if he doesn’t want to turn a poker tournament into a public appearance, he can just as easily play at an online casino. At the top online casinos, Pacquiao can still play with a live dealer and play for high stakes. That helps to satisfy the competitive fire that surely burns deep down in him. Plus, the patient, strategic nature of boxing that Pacquiao loved during his career as a pro athlete are also qualities that great poker players possess, making online casinos a natural way for Pacquiao to enjoy himself in retirement.
Mike Tyson
Was there ever any doubt that Tyson would find himself a fan of online casinos? Even during his boxing career, Tyson was strongly linked with gambling, frequently spending time at some of the world’s most famous casinos, and not always for a boxing match. Tyson has always loved high-stakes bets on both sports and casino games. That’s a part of him that is never going to change, which is why online casinos have been a natural fit for him. He may not get the same epic stories from online casinos as he used to get from physical casinos. However, it’s far more convenient nowadays for Tyson to do his high-stakes gambling at online platforms, which are available 24/7 from wherever Tyson happens to be at the moment.
