Is anyone going to put their money on Hatton

Up to you isn't it?

You don't seem to understand the concept of bookmakers odds. You can't make big money on Floyd. Ladbrokes have Mayweather as 4/9 favourite to win. This means that if you bet $100 your winnings would be about $45. You would risk your $100 for the chance to take home $145. Hatton is 7/4, if you bet $100 you would take home about $180. The big money here is betting for a draw at 16/1.

Squeal,

It's my expectation that the odds will tighten considerably as Hatton fans bet with their hearts. If they mobilize to Vegas in large numbers, I suspect that they will bet Hatton at the casino sportsbooks.
Late money is smart money. I would wait til 'day of' and bet Mayweather heavily after the odds get closer.

You are right. RARELY smart to bet a prohibitive favourite. But remember: nobody ever made money betting on the eventual loser.

You're still not going to win big by betting on the favourite in a prize-fight. Even the best odds recognise that there are only two guys in there and that a win either way is more likely than a draw.

If you wanted to win big then you could pick a round or pick a score or whatever, and that would net you some better odds.

I respect your posts but this grappler-biko wiener comes across like a thirteen year-old counterstrike player.

The smart way to bet on this fight would be to bet a relatively small amount on Hatton now, while he is a distant second favourite and then bet a larger amount on Floyd as the odds tighten up. You wouldnt win much, but you'd be virtually guaranteed some kind of repayment.

Apart from saying he's going to win..Are you actually going to put your money where your mouth is?

Just asking...

sorry people, but there is no way in hell that Hatton beats MW. I can't stand that punk Mayweather, but speed kills.

One guy said that he is betting ten dollars. Which only buys you a beer where I live.

10 UK pounds is 20 US dollars. depends on the odd's but if it's like 10-1 then not a bad some to win

I'll do a points bet on boxingscene on Hatton winning but real money is too risky for either fighter.

For either?

O.o Either?? U mean is risky betting on Hatton to win.

Depends on the ODDS. If he's a huge underdog, I'll put.. for example.. 50 on each fighter. I'll lose a little money on Mayweather if he wins (counting the money I lost on Hatton) but.. if Hatton wins, I'll be up (including the money on Mayweather) If the odds don't favor that sort of bet.. I'll just put down enough to win a huge ammount of money on Mayweather. I don't see Hatton, in my opinion, winning this fight.
