Floyd Mayweather has gained quite a reputation for posting winning gambling receipts online, like that time he took home $200,000 after betting on Johnny Manziel (remember him?) and Texas A&M last year.

Finally, we have proof that Mayweather loses bets once in a while, too.

The undefeated boxer posted this ticket to Instagram on Monday night. It shows that he lost $20,000 betting on the Texans-Steelers Monday Night Football game.

Mayweather's career earnings are $105 million; a simple Google search tells us his net worth its $280 million. It's irrelevant whether that number is accurate. The point remains the same: Floyd Mayweather losing $20,000 basically equates to a normal person misplacing a few bucks.

Especially when Mayweather laid down -- and won -- a much bigger bet the same weekend. Below, you can see that he put down $800,000 on Sunday's Cardinals-Raiders game and walked away with more than $1.5 million.

As always, it's not a matter of Mayweather winning or losing. Either way, he stays in the spotlight -- and for him, that's the biggest win of all.
