“Disrespect”: Dillon Danis Fires Back At Drake For Making $1.3 Million Payout Bet Ahead Of October 14

In a surprising turn of events, Dillon Danis, renowned Bellator mixed martial artist, has expressed feeling disrespected after learning about a substantial bet placed against him by rapper Drake. The MF& DAZN match, scheduled for tomorrow is already set to garner the big bucks in the form of PPV.

With both pugilists set to bring in a hefty purse, it seems like Danis did not get what he expected from the ‘God’s Plan’ singer. The wager, totaling $1.3 million, revolves around Danis’ upcoming bout against Influencer Boxer Logan Paul, scheduled for tomorrow. But, a wicked curse known to sports aficionados looms in the distance.

Drake doesn’t bet on vendetta and settling scores: Dillon Danis appalled

Sources revealed that Drake, known for his affinity for high-stakes wagers, placed a substantial bet against Danis. The boxing community has shown significant interest in the bet, considering it one of the largest wagers ever placed on a single fight.  Drake, in an Instagram post, uploaded a screenshot of the Bet, and captioned it “Never bet against personal vendetta and settling scores.”

Dillon Danis, known for his infamous social media presence expressed his surprise and disappointment upon learning about the bet. The athlete, set to make his boxing debut tomorrow, has found himself entangled in a web of drama and lawsuits.

Danis consequently replied to the bet with his disapproval stating “850 on my head is disrespect.” He also posted a picture of the two of them together.

The bet, however, highlights the growing trend of high-stakes gambling within the realm of combat sports. With the increasing popularity of events featuring crossover athletes and celebrities, such wagers have become a prominent aspect of the industry. While this particular bet may be a standout example due to its size, it is not entirely unprecedented.

But, let’s not forget the infamous Drake curse that is so strongly believed in the sports realm.

The Drake Curse

The ‘Drake curse’ meme, a viral internet sensation, refers to the misfortune experienced by athletes and teams after any association with the Canadian rapper. Essentially, if Drake wears a team jersey, takes a picture with an athlete, or publicly supports a team or individual, they tend to lose, often against expectations. According to TalkSport, In 2019, Italian soccer club As Roma even humorously claimed to have forbidden their players from being photographed with the pop star.

He notably supported superstar figures like Conor McGregor, the same year he suffered a defeat against Khabib. But the curse tends to have its off days. He supported Tyson Fury, and he did win that bout against Deontay Wilder.

As the date of the bout is merely hours away, the spotlight on Danis and Paul continues to intensify. They have a bombastic feud, with lawsuits thrown around left and right. The outcome of the fight will not only determine the winner of the bet but also have a lasting impact on the reputation of both athletes.

The sports world will be watching closely as Dillon Danis steps into the ring to face Logan Paul. While the $1.3 million bet serves as a testament to the stakes at hand. It ultimately adds an extra layer of intrigue to an already highly anticipated matchup.

One question rings loudly. Does this support for Logan Paul mean that Dillon Danis is set for victory? Or do you think this curse has been lifted, like in the case of the Gypsy King? Only time will tell what rings true.
