not sure if I agree with that, maybe

either way, I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about it

If Conor miraculously manages to beat Floyd, it's a blow to boxing expert's egos, but not as much for the sport. It will make Mayweather (and the experts) look bad, but it will be a boon for the sport to have successfully stolen the world's most popular 'fighter', right from the UFC's pathetic clutches. Even though most of them will be fools, more people than ever will be paying attention to boxing. Fortunately for us, Conor will lose badly, and boxing will go back to being forgotten, and not even mentioned in the sports section of most news papers.

I don't think so. Floyd is old, it would only promote McGregor into a superstar greater than what he is. He would be bigger that Mayweather. He would defiantly be bouncing back and forth from UFC to Boxing, and it would set up a Match against Winner of GGG vs Canelo or even Cotto for a last fight.

You do realize Douglas was a contender and still 44-1 underdog and it is considered biggest upset ever in boxing so what should the odds be?

[bronx7]

They make the odds on not only who they think will win the main part is having odds that will give you as close as possible equal $ bets on each guy

[bronx7]

Why do you ask so they keep what is called the vig to make it easier to understand say it costs $1.10 to bet a $1. If they have millions on each side the same exact number the casino makes the millions x .10 with zero risk who wins or loses

[bronx7]

How do they get it exact the casinos all call each other and edge off it's called what you need say you needed $100 on Floyd to be even and I happen to need $100 on Connor we both swap bets
