Diddy, Wahlberg bet $250K on Paquiao-Floyd fight


Hip-hop star Diddy and Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg just put a lot of money on the line as they made a huge bet on the May 2 showdown between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

In an advertisement for the performance water company, AQUAHydrate, Diddy and Wahlberg are shown discussing the highly anticipated "Fight of the Century."

"Who you got in the fight?" Wahlberg asked.

Diddy picked up a "TMT" hat and announced: "I got Mayweather. Go with the Money Team, baby. Who you got?"

"Pacman," Wahlberg said.

The hip-hop mogul asked Wahlberg if he wanted to put $100,000 on the table, to which Wahlberg answered: "Why so little?", prompting Diddy to raise the stakes to $250,000.

Wahlberg, the star of the Academy Award-nominated film "The Fighter," is a huge boxing fan and visited Pacquiao earlier this month at the Wild Card Gym.
