    People are betting millions on Floyd

    Squares UFC fans are betting on Conor

    Heard a book manager tell another book manager on the air that even if Floyd loses -500 is the best bet he's ever seen. That's how sure vegas is that floyds going to win this.

    No.. Only because Mayweather is 40 and or it could be fixed or Mayweather could get injured during the fight.. All not likely to happen and make Mayweather lose this fight....

    It's such a solid bet with Mayweather IMO.. McGregor absolutely has no business in the boxing ring with questionably the best boxer ever.. McGregor would be lucky IMO to have a winning record in boxing if he went pro tomorrow and had 10 fights against 10 very average pro boxers..

    Mcgreggor would be +800 or so against other boxers and Mayweather is a 49-0 champion boxer

    Most boxing experts say it wont be close and I agree. Mayweather will be dancing around doing whatever he wants.

    True line IMO is -5000

    I'll bet my damn life. Death by a thousand cuts. It's a lock, goldie. Take a loan out, ask your uncle, do whatever you gotta do. Hit the alley giving shiners. Whatever it takes.

    Too much early money came in on Conor, they had to lower it to help offset their exposure.

    Trump overcame tougher odds. so did Buster Douglas, and Evander Holyfield, so nothing is a sure thing, especially in shenanigan filled boxing. But, this should be easy money backing Floyd here.

    What were the odds Mayweather vs Cotto and Canelo? I think the odds were better? Crazy

    Check this article http://www.bettingresource.com/the-m...rediction.html
    Here is two paragraphs from there:
    There are also many other things to consider. First and fore most, this is not a typical boxing fight--it is rather a money making scheme or a business deal between the two fighters and their promoters. Don't believe anything you see or hear in the press conferences, media, social media etc. It is all a show for publicity to increase interest and demand for the fight. Conor and Floyd are business partners, shaking hands behind the scenes in this business deal while putting on a show in front of the cameras for the gullible public. This is the most expensive pay-per-view boxing match and is set to break records--if everything go according to plan, Mayweather is expected to earn over $200 million and McGregor is expected to earn close to a $100 million.
    In terms of boxing skills, Mayweather is the clear favorite. If money is out of the picture, this fight would never happen because Mayweather is undefeated 49-0 champion while the challenger McGregor has zero professional boxing matches under his belt. Yes, McGregor is a great MMA fighter with experience but it means nothing when you put him in a boxing rink with boxing rules. It is impossible for anyone who never competed professionally in boxing to learn the game in a few months. Conor is not only trying to do that but challenging the undefeated champion. Lets not forget that McGregor got out-boxed and knocked out by Diaz (not a professional boxer) in the octagon not too long ago. If this is a real boxing match with full integrity from both fighters, Mayweather will win this bout easily. But the big question is WILL THIS BE A REAL FIGHT? Are the fighters satisfied with one big pay day or would they want to create scenarios for re-match for another massive payday? In order for re-match to happen, Conor must win or make the fight competitive and take it to the distance before he loses. McGregor win can skyrocket the marketability of both sports and both players can secure themselves another massive payday via re-match. Is Mayweather willing to sacrifice his 49-0 legacy in order to secure another massive payday? Never understimate the power of money over humans.

The books don't want to trick you, they just want to balance their action, so that they make the vig and are not overly exposed. The word on the street is that the public (dopes) bet Connor and the sharps (smarter) are pouncing on the better odds. The house will not lose, and the wise guys probably won't either. It's Mayweather all the way.
    The dumbest thing i ever heard from so called smart sports bettors and it truly is the dumbest, is that the books strive to get equal action on both sides. You have to be an absolute retard to believe this. Tattdy looks like the only one that has any brains here and if he say's this same nonsense, about bookmakers strive to get equal action, than none of ya have any brains.

    Oh brother i wish u idiots would just go away and let other enjoy an entertaining night. If Mcgregor some how pulls this off he can box any top name and get 300 mil. Floyd don't need a rematch. He can fight triple G if he beats Canelo for 500 million.
    Stop it with this nonsense.

    Damn it's true .....

    Paddy Power have paid out on Floyd Mayweather defeating Conor McGregor on Saturday night before the fight has even happened.

    The Irish bookmaker is so confident that Mayweather will extend his pristine record to 50-0 against the MMA superstar crossing over to make his professional boxing debut, that they have forked out winnings for those who were willing to take a gamble on ‘Money May’ at such short odds.
