Young Pro Ashton Griffin Wins $300k with Insane Prop Bet
Justin 'BoostedJ' Smith's posted an awesome story on his Twitter recently stating that Ashton 'theASHMAN103' Griffin, one of the best young players in the World won a crazy prop bet he made with his friend Haseeb Qureshi. He had to run 70 miles in 24 hours. He did.
The terms (to which he agreed highly intoxicated at a party as far as rumors go) of the bet were quite simple: if Griffin could run 70 miles (which is a little less than 3 marathons' length) on a treadmill in 24 hours, he would win $300,000, however, if he couldn't make it, he would have to pay $900,000. Walking did not count towards the 70 miles. This seems crazy at first, but not for the college level wrestler Griffin, who jumped into the contest right the next day, despite having very little sleep the night before, and being massively hung over. He managed to finish the challenge with only 45 minutes left, which is an huge performance on its own, considering that regular marathon runners usually run 1 marathon per day, while Griffin managed to run almost 3 of them.
But it's not over yet, according to 'BoostedJ', Griffin managed to negotiate another prop bet, now at the expense of Haseeb Qureshi. Sweet revenge, huh?
