Norm MacDonald Bets $25,000 on Manny Pacquiao to Win $3,125

Comedian Norm MacDonald has a relatively new show on Comedy Central. One of his first bits with Blake Griffin was fantastic, and this wasn’t bad either. McDonald decided to bet $25,000 on Manny Pacquiao to beat Shane Mosley Saturday evening. The only problem is he’ll only make slightly over $3,000 if he wins the bet. Last time we were looking at boxing odds like that, it was one of the biggest kicks to my LBS nuts ever (you can read that story here). As for MacDonald’s skit, check it out below:

Norm confirmed the authenticity saying “this is a real ticket, this is not some TV horses***.” I dunno Norm, if I had $25,000, I’d find many other better things to do with it than risk it for a chance at winning just over three grand. Let me repeat, that’s not a sound strategy.
