Tua Turns Over TAB
Shane Cameron wasn’t the only one taking being smashed at the weekend … the Tua v Cameron boxing fight on Saturday night helped the TAB to achieve its biggest turnover day this year.
According to the NZTR media report:
The David Tua v Shane Cameron bout ended up being the fourth biggest individual sports betting event for the TAB since sports betting first began in New Zealand in 1996. In total, New Zealanders wagered $1.14 million on the fight.
If you backed Cameron, let’s hope you had a dollar each way. Tua put it all on the nose 
In case you’re wondering, here’s the big sporting betting events:
The top three biggest single sports betting events for the TAB have been the Tua v Lewis boxing fight in 2000 ($2.1m), Brazil v Turkey in the Football World Cup in 2002 ($1.3m) and the inaugural sports betting event in New Zealand – the Bledisloe Cup rugby match at Athletic Park in Wellington in 1996 ($1.15m).
