Enticing Odds Push Mayweather-McGregor Toward Top Spot as Biggest Sports Betting Event in History

Las Vegas, NV, August 23, 2017 --(PR.com)-- The Mayweather-McGregor fight this Saturday night in Las Vegas may top out as the biggest sports betting event of all time, surpassing the record $135 million wagered on last year’s Super Bowl. Mayweather, the undefeated middleweight regarded as the best pound-for-pound boxer ever, is the overwhelming favorite. But McGregor represents an element of unpredictability – in both technique and intensity – making this a night where anything can happen, and an enticing prospect for sports bettors. Here’s a rundown of the odds, presented by MyBookie.ag Online Sportsbook:

The Money Line
The most common form of betting on boxing is the moneyline wager, where you simply pick the winner. As you can see from the odds below, if you like the favorite, Mayweather, you’re going to drop a cool $510 to win $100. If you like McGregor in the upset, a $100 wager would net you a nice $380 return. The moneyline is a simple, straightforward wager. Odds:

Floyd Mayweather -510
Conor McGregor +380

Over/Under Round Betting
The Over/Under is a bet on how long the fight will last. If you like the fight to last over 9.5 rounds, a $100 wager would bring $130. If you like the bout to end before 9.5 rounds, you’ll have to bet $150 to win $100. With Mayweather’s defensive fighting style, some experts can see this match going the distance. Tight odds on the over/under means this bet could go either way – meaning that no one is certain if the fight ends early, or if it goes well into the late rounds. Odds:

Over 9.5 rounds +130
Under 9.5 rounds -150

Props Wagers
You can also place “props” wagers on the specific round in which you like a fighter to win. Let’s say you like Mayweather to finish McGregor in the first round. A $100 bet would bring you a whopping $2300. If you like the undefeated champ in the 12th and final round, $100 would win $1800. Conversely, if you like McGregor for the huge upset in the first round, that $100 wager would bring you a hefty +$2800. If you pick the UFC champ in the 10th, $100 would bring you a jaw-dropping +$5500. Odds:

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Round 1 +2300

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Round 12 +1800
Conor McGregor Round 1 +2800
Conor McGregor Round 6 +3300
