Bilzerian believes somebody snatched the carbon fiber watch on his way to the ring as there was a commotion when he was taking pictures with his fans. His expensive Richard Mille watch went missing afterward.
According to law enforcement officials, Bilzerian filed a larceny police report right away after the fight on Saturday.
The approximate value of the Richard Mille watch owned by Bilzerian varies between $950,000 to $1,000,000; allegedly, the Bilzerian watch was not under insurance cover.
The $50,000 reward offered by Bilzerian generated mixed reactions online. The majority of the netizens questioned the incentive of returning a $1,000,000 watch for only $50,000 in return.

Richard Mille is a Swiss company specializing in producing ultra-high-end luxury watches that are extremely rare and pricey. Its cost varies from $100,000 to more than $3,000,000 on the higher side.
However, Bilzerian was convinced that the alleged thief was caught on tape and hoped the reward money would entice someone to come forward with the video when his fans encircled him on Saturday.
