RAPPER Drake took home a massive payout after wagering $1million on Gervonta “Tank” Davis to win against Ryan Garcia on Saturday night.
As a result of Davis’ knockout victory in the seventh round over Garcia, 36-year-old Drake‘s bet earned him $1.3million.
Before the match, Drake wrote on his Instagram Story “Tank day aka pay day” with a picture of his bet slip.
However, the Canadian music artist took a $47,000 hit due to placing separate bets on which round Davis would claim victory.
He put $15,000 each on the first, second, and third rounds.
As a result, Drake’s total winnings amounted to $1.3million.
Davis remains undefeated after winning for the 29th time in Saturday’s victory over Garcia.
The Baltimore native has also earned 27 knockouts including his win in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Garcia, meanwhile, won all 23 of his fights before his defeat.
He dropped to the ground after a Davis left hook to the chin in the second round, which changed the trajectory of the fight.
Then, the 28-year-old Davis proceeded to dominate for the next five rounds before ending the fight in the seventh with a shot to Garcia’s liver.
After the win, Davis was asked about Drake placing a bet on the lightweight title holder.
“Tell him I need half of that!” Tank jokingly said.
“It’s pretty cool to have people like that believe in me.
“It made me push even harder, so shoutout to Drake and the rest of the people that back me.
This is only the beginning for me, I have a bright future and I’m staying humble through it all.
“What can I say? We done it again tonight.”
