Are boxing fans broke? No one is betting Mayweather.

27% on a sure thing is a massive return.

You don't understand how betting works

There's not much value in betting on Floyd outright. There's more money in betting how he's gonna win and/or the over/under of total rounds the fight's gonna last.

Plus most of the money will come in on the final few days before the fight, not now.

To a millionaire it is he is thinking easy money, to a guy with his last 100 its a bet he wouldn't take, double his 100 and he would probably take it.

Human Nature.

The value is entirely on Floyd to win straight up, though.

I mean, it got as low as -400. Hell he'd be -600ish in a rematch with Pacquiao

The problem is that most people aren't in a position to be able to bet the kind of money that allows them to take advantage of the value.

If you're a $100 unit bettor, then betting 4 units to win 1 on Mayweather against McGregor is about as good a bet as you're ever going to see.

This is a fight to bet, just to make a little money. Because the only way to hit the lottery on it, is McGregor by decision. And, well....lol

Further, if you're even a semi serious bettor, and not just someone who bets casually here and there, then the entire object is to increase units won.

Even if your base unit is $10. Risking 4 on Mayweather to get what is as close to guaranteed money to return 1, as you'll probably ever see, is still good value.

-400 implies that Mayweather beats McGregor 80% of the time. If you feel like he wins MORE than 80% of the time, WA-LA, value.

I just don't trust this event ... the whole thing seems so staged I'm uncomfortable betting any real $$ on it

That's because it would be quite easy to take a dive and win A LOT of money.

Although he's already applied for 5 50-0 trademarks already

Show your source or GTFO.

Ticket totals and $ totals are two completely different numbers.

It's in the first post dumbass. Or do you think Pinnacle moves lines based on something other than money?
