for people who think sports are not fixed, athletes making millions don't bet on their own matches:)

Good question. My answer:
1) Greed (it is never enough)
2) Gambling is addictive, even to an athlete making millions.
Just imagine, this is the bet he acknowledged (basically extending the fight past 9 rounds so he could win his bet). But think about all the other bets out there on his behalf or by his friends and family, betting on McGregor to win the first few rounds at very long odds. Meanwhile, he says it was all a part of the "game-plan." I'm sure it was. LOL.

You do know that Floyd is a well know bettor in Vegas right?
He bet 1.3 mil on Michigan to beat Bama Wk 1 a few years ago. He will bet 4,5,6 figures without thinking twice. Usually 6 figs mself atleast!
