Mark Wahlberg loses his fight bet to P. Diddy

Mark Wahlberg’s wife, Rhea Durham, was trash-talking Floyd Mayweather on Twitter long after Saturday night’s fight was over. “Pacman is the true champion inside and out!!,” was one tweet. “I have an idea! Maywether should pursue a career in track! Since all he can do is run,” was another. Wahlberg lost big money when Mayweather was named champion of the welterweight title. Last month, the actor bet P. Diddy $250,000 that Manny Pacquiao would prevail. Wahlberg had said that if he won the bet, he’d give the money to charity. Other locals at the fight included Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, and Rob Gronkowski, who’d come straight from the Kentucky Derby (Brady sat ringside with Bob Kraft, while Edelman and Gronk’s seats were a bit farther from the action). Also there was Ben Affleck, who was one of three Batmans at the MGM Grand (Christian Bale, and Michael Keaton were in the house for the big event). Comedy writer Molly McNearney, whose husband, Jimmy Kimmel, stole the show as a member of Pacquiao’s entourage, tweeted, “I’m only watching Tom Brady.” She added, “I don’t have enough confidence in my face to ever sit ringside.”
