Disgraced former deputy mayor Salim Mehajer appears to have won thousands on the Mayweather McGregor fight despite claiming he was not travelling to the US to watch it.
Mehajer, 31, gloated about his winnings on Instagram following the match on Sunday, showing piles of hundred dollar bills being counted out in front of him.
The former Auburn deputy mayor, who is on strict bail conditions, arrived in Las Vegas on Wednesday for a ‘business’ trip – maintaining he did not travel to the party city to watch the fight.

Despite denying he was there to watch the boxer and UFC champion in the ring, the 31-year-old publicly backed Floyd Mayweather to beat Conor McGregor – and celebrated the win with his online followers.
Mehajer’s strict bail conditions were relaxed in a secret hearing at Downing Centre Local Court on Monday, so he could travel to the United States on business.
He faced punishment if he broke the rules of his relaxed bail or if he committed any other crimes.
Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting Mehajer breached his bail conditions by travelling to Las Vegas.
‘Thanks Floyd… that was a last minute ditch… mind, less the online $$$,’ Mehajer posted alongside photos of cash being counted out in front of him

Mehajer also assured that creditors, who are pursuing two of his companies, would be paid in full in coming weeks.
‘The creditors will be paid. As any development company it’s asset rich and one settlement is in place, which we’ve already received over 110 percent of the debt cover,’ he told Channel Nine.
‘We anticipate to have settlement in the next two weeks and see all the creditors have been paid in full.’
Mehajer is also facing fraud charges for allegedly forging Australian Electoral Commission enrolments and fabricating addresses for friends and family.
However, the 31-year-old said that he hoped Mayweather would come away victorious in the match

Earlier this month Mehajer put up his palatialLidcombe mansion for lease two years after it was made famous by his $35 million wedding.
The four-storey house on Frances Street, which Mehajer illegally shut down for his extravagant wedding, was advertised for lease for $2,950 a week.
The controversial former Auburn deputy mayor offered his family home hours before he faced his estranged wife Aysha in court after she slapped him with another AVO.
Neither couple turned up to Sutherland Local Court on Wednesday morning but an interim order was granted against Mehajer to protect his estranged wife.
Mehajer was granted leave by the court but must return on September 4 and hand back his passport within 24 hours
