    First of all, this scenario is absolutely insane because Amazon owns almost half of the casino action happening in this world.

    I know Amazon isn’t going to risk being the third largest generator of revenue in the entire free world to fix a fight.

    But let’s explore this scenario anyway.

    The casinos make more money not fixing the fight the way you describe in all but one scenario.

    If the fight goes the distance, and it wasn’t a fix, they make the most money. That’s because they don’t pay out and they have to share any of the profits with the fighters or promoters.

    If Mayweather won, they still make more money than fixing the fight and sharing the profits. That’s because a small percentage of the betting public took this bet. I believe only 14-percent of the betting public bet on Mayweather.

    If Paul won, which wasn’t going to happen, the casinos would have taken a loss.

    You really think Amazon was going to get into a criminal conspiracy just in case Logan Paul won by knockout?

    You are not understanding the bet. No member of the public won, but the betting companies, promoters, and boxers were in on it and they all shared the pie. That's why in the week of the fight, all bets of the fight going the distance were voided. This is a fact.

      £100 wins you £111. Crappy odds.

              This is just idiotic Floyd fans trying to create criminal conspiracy to protect the ego of their lord and idol, Floyd is more honest than these people and gave honest statements that he is old now and fight did not go as expected. Even during fight, Floyd was saying to his coach that it is difficult to jab this guy.

              Floyd fans whole belief system has collapsed after that fight and now absurd conspiracy theories are the last resort for such spineless people. Worldwide criminal conspiracy is their laughable excuse now.

                The odds in England were 1-8, sounds crap, but I've known people bet £1000-£5000 on Joshua winning at 1-14 before. People with money load up on bets like these.

                  Yeah those Joshua stans are a weird bunch I would never make those sort of bets. I purposely went on oddschecker to see what sort of betting odds they had on Paul.

                  The one that caught my attention was Arias beating Hurd but I chickened out, when I found out that he won I was kicking myself.

                    I've chickened out on a few great bets in my time too.
