The Super Bowl is annually the biggest betting event of the year in the U.S. This year, though, it may be eclipsed by a boxing match.

Kevin Bradley, the sports book manager of Bovada.lv, said betting on Mayweather-McGregor has been massive already.
“We knew this fight would be big, potentially even bigger than the Super Bowl, but now we are almost certain it will be,” Bradley said. “The recent trash talking and promotional tour is only encouraging bets and at this rate we cannot even imagine how much we will take on it. One thing is for sure thought, we will need Mayweather huge. A McGregor early round KO as he promised would be a potential disaster and is partly a reason we are giving a great price on Mayweather at the moment.”
Bovada released a slew of wagering possibilities, but the odds on McGregor have dropped significantly. Mayweather is down to minus-500, while McGregor is now at plus-350.

Amazingly, a prop bet on whether Mayweather will be knocked down or out is only at plus-350. Mayweather is 49-0 and has only been down once in his career, and that came when he intentionally touched the canvas with his glove in the final round of a fight he was winning big because his hand was injured and he wanted a brief break.

[Snowball]

a very complex and dangerous event for books.

pros and programmers working hard on all the contingencies.

[Ralphie Halves]

Hard to believe considering the only good betting options for most people are props.

At least with the SB, you can get -110 on most of the major bets that regular people are the most interested in.

[TheMoneyShot]

My brother is talking about the fight.... and he hates boxing and UFC.

So if my brother is watching the fight... I'm sure it's turning other peoples heads as well.

[jjgold]

It will be close to super bowl volume

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Anybody know what time the fight will be on?

[vinndy]

Anybody know what time the fight will be on?

Probably 11:30pm

[grease lightnin]

Interesting that the most likely odds are a ko or tko by Mayweather despite the issues with his hands and past performance

Will be interesting. We are having a small get together and roasting a suckling pig. Can't wait.

Welcome back Greaser

[reigle9]

only read the headline, impossible

the super bowl has a bigger handle than 99% of counties' gdp

Welcome back Greaser

Thanks krackles. Football is nigh at the door

Think i mushed your bread and butter.

Yesterday my buddy and I arrived at the bar after I lost 8-1 in skins on the golf course, which is the opposite of what usually happens...

it was 3-2 cubbies with 0 outs and one on base, by the end of the inning it was 11-3 cards

My pal went home because he was afraid of what might happen if he stayed around me

[Cuse0323]

Wish I had good credit for a quick loan. Being sued by some place, because the asshole IRS. Anyway, jj, I need a shark. 50,000 on Floyd. I'm totally good for it.

[reigle9]

virgin liver if he can't produce

Agree.

[RoyBacon]

I'm throwing the BS flag on this one. This is barely more than a staged exhibition. It's a fun bet I get that. But at -600 and exhibition status there is no way it's even 1/5 of the Superbowl. Probably more like 1/20th.

[El Nino]

Zero chance. Hamburger book with a line on the fight. Vegas books will have 7 figure liability on McGregor though.

[Otters27]

I am going to get the PPV first time ever paying for PPV boxing match
