Finally, my final bets for this fight are gonna get scored. Looks like they fell 200,000 buys short of MayPac. Have no freaking clue why it took so long for the numbers to come out.

I ended up winning every prop bet for this fight in addition to picking Floyd to win and to win within the distance.
What an awesome sporting event for sports bettor who are even remotely sharp.

1. Ticket sales for the fight have generated far less interest than May/Pac
2. A high level amount of disdain among sports writers for this fight and it being called a farce and massacre may drive viewers away
3. Boxing purists refusing to see this (Cotto is fighting that night btw)
4. The event lands on a rather unfriendly PPV date. End of August, lots of people with vacation plans and 3 weeks before Canelo/GGG.
5. People feeling burnt by May/Pac and unwilling to spend $100 to see a fighter with a boring style. Maybe, wanna save their $ for a real fight in canelo/ggg
6. The rise in illegal streaming and periscope
Even if it beats May/Pac, i still got a 400,000 buy cushion on this bet.
