    We had a chance to chat with Pinnacle some more about the in-play betting, but the details are being firmed up so it didn't make this initial report. What would you guys like to see in terms of betting markets for in-play boxing? Knockout in next round?

    Not many offer it that's why people dont notice it around,

    Check exchanges there will be plenty of money traded on this fight gotta think in the region of 5-10 million

    SBR, seeing lines for moneyline after late rounds would be interesting. I remember that Tim Bradley was 100/1 dog in the first Pacquiao fight after round 10.

    Absolutely. At the risk of sounding like an armchair quarterback on the subject, Pinnacle's traders should be careful =) I would think boxing sharps might have a field day with in-play betting.

    BTW guys feel free to jump in on the convo via Twitter if you're on there: https://twitter.com/SBRreview/status/580061488028762112

    I would also think that Bet365 will offer live

    The problem is many people will not be watching it live because it cost too much

    It's going to break ppv records no matter what it costs so this is 100% false.

    Bet365, 5Dimes, and bookmaker will have it live. They have all major boxing and this will be no different.

    Good luck to them. Streams that are able to handle the traffic will be hard to find. Better off just cutting yourself off from the world until the morning and torrenting an HD broadcast when you wake up

    $20k? I thought it would have been $50k, or even their superbowl wages of $100k+

    Many feel fight is setup for a Pacman win including Holyfield

    Evander Holyfield rarely fails to deliver some interesting opinions on whatever subject he's quizzed about. But in the lead-up to boxing's most recent "Fight of the Century," between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, Holyfield has some truly interesting insights.
    Although Mayweather is a slight favorite according to the betting lines, some experts, including Mike Tyson, are picking Pacquiao to win the fight. So is Holyfield. But it's not for the reasons you might expect. Yes, maybe Pacquiao is expected to move faster, put up a relentless fight. But Holyfield's reasoning is much simpler.




    "Mayweather won't win, because from what I've seen, boxing doesn't want nobody to get out [of the sport] undefeated," Holyfield told Sports on Earth columnist Terence Moore this week. "They want to keep the money in the sport by doing things to make it happen this way: Somebody beats the man, and then somebody beats the man who beat the man, and then somebody beats the man who beat the man who beat the man who beat the man.
    Don't get Holyfield wrong: He thinks the fight will be close, and maybe come down to a decision. But Mayweather, he declares, will lose, and his perfect record will be ruined.

    "Then it's going to be a matter of whether Mayweather is going to fight again, whether he feels like he has made enough money to say, 'I ain't got to fight,'" Holyfield told Moore.




    Naturally, a loss to Pacquaio sets up a perfect narrative leading into a rematch. Holyfield notes that the $400 million fight could probably inspire a rematch generating another $100 million. "[Boxing executives] set it up that way," he said. "It's because they will not let you out of boxing undefeated, not unless you trick them."
    How, exactly, do you trick the boxing executives?
    "You have to tell them, 'I'm going to fight 10 more times,'" Holyfield said, "And then when you get to five, you quit."

    Mayweather waited 3 yrs till pacman now past his prime, his perfect record is more important to mayweather than the money he will just outbox him for 12 rds and stay clear
