Two scenarios I'm going to throw out; 1. Mayweather by KO 2. Alvarez by decision
Mayweather is -160 to win by decision
Alvarez is +500 to win by KO
$1600 to win $1000 on Mayweather by decision
$ 400 to win $2000 on alvarez to win by KO
That's a very square strategy in that you're basically betting $2000 to win $600 or $400 best case. But it gives you the two most probable outomes all be it at a very short price.
The bet that EVERYONE has thrown out as simply not possible is worth a look. Alvarez to win by decision +515. If they fought 5 times Alvarez would probably win at least one by decision(he may win all 5). This bet actually has a lot of value no matter how you cap the fight. Of course how many times have we all said "no way the judges give it to alvarez if it goes the distance"...including myself. Think about it..if Alvarez pounds him and gets a knockdown or two he will get the decision. Mayweather is not Sugar Ray Leonard or some other adorned fighter(except by Lou). If you play this bet you would want to throw a bet of 30% of the total bet on Alvarez by KO which is also priced at +520ish. Good luck.
