Is this the freest money of all time? It reminds me of Seahawks/Broncos in it's public high on crack absurdity.

Aren't you just a little bit worried at how obvious it is though? It's a super shady guy in a super shady sport with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake. Plus the really odd training videos of CM that came out. It's just all so perfect. I don't know, I'm sure I am wrong but part of me has a little bit of a weird feeling going into this fight.

^ it's not that he cant lose. It's the price is so cheap. It's the same line as May vs Pacman. It makes no sense.

It's tough to really see what to worry about that. The two are in such different classes of skill for this sport. The age and punching power will make a marginal difference. When some of the most seasoned minds in this sport are basically shrugging it off as a spectacle, I feel pretty good.

I'm more worried about the fight being fixed in some way than Conor winning legitimately and I say that as an MMA fan who prefers MMA to boxing and would as a fan love nothing more than to see Conor win. At only -3xx that has to be a steal when it's one of the highest profile fights of all time and Floyd has 0 losses and therefore has obviously never fixed a fight before so why start now. Surely his 50-0 legacy is worth more than however many extra million dollars, he's already making a quarter bil or whatever for the fight

If it was -1000 i'd be legitimately concerned about some sort of screwjob but at -3xx it's just too cheap not to be on Floyd given it's one of the greatest boxers of all time and the best defensive boxer ever against a guy who competes in a different (granted somewhat similar) sport and has only been a full time boxer for six months or so with no bouts.

I still sort of hope i'm wrong and Conor wins but if I win money on Floyd at least i'll be less sad when he wins just like when he fought Pacquiao

I'm gonna assume that as it relates to fixing, we're not talking about some anonymous "them" powerful enough to get both fighters to go along with some script in order to bet the other side or something.

If we're talking about some bigger agreed upon rigage to produce a rematch for the promoters, Connor winning is the least likely thing they'd rig to. It makes more sense to me to have Connor lose by decision in a good tough fight OR Connor lose on a really controversial DQ. They're a lock to get their rematch then if the fight was neck and neck. If you fix, you fix it that way. Not some massive historic left hook that knocks Floyd out. Why would he EVER agree to take that punch? Ruins his legacy and maybe his health.

Na, Floyd is gonna win and in either in the most boring way possible, or maybe in dominant fashion.

If it's fixed, it's because Floyd needs it to be. LOL @ him getting favorable terms in that reality.

Liquidity on Floyd was even better than I expected. Slightly concerning but most likely just an indicator of how poor we all are.

How would you react if, in the lead up to the fight, Mayweather emerged from the tunnel doe eyed, dressed in a tutu and skipping toward the ring to the entrance song "You belong with me" (Taylor Swift)?

i'm so annoyed i was limited to like $25 dollar bets on Bovada a few years ago. is there another US book that has this at -400!? i'm in ny and everyone i know lives in NY/NJ so i can't get on money on that site. i would have friends set up accounts for the deposit bonus but i have all my bitcoin tied up on other crypto currencies now. though i have 10k on the fight already i feel like i'm really missing out by not having twice that amount.

There are apparently six $1 million bets all on Floyd to win in Las Vegas apparently. One is to win $200k. No idea who booked the action if at all.

EDIT: Oh...South Point is one of them!?

Have bet on this not lasting the distance for a small chunk of change. Want Conor to shock the world but am fully expecting Floyd to be too good even after two years out.

Feel if Conor goes after him and misses most of the time then we may see something similar to the Mayweather/Hatton fight as McGregor gasses and Floyd just picks his moment to KO him.

Have just seen the line at Bet365 go from 4/17 to 4/15 to 2/7 in the last half hour. Amazed there's been so much public money on Conor to outweigh the sharp money on Floyd.

Wasn't there some spiel that the true line for Conor should be at least 10/1 but people still want to bet on Conor even at fairly lousy odds!?

When does the public ever get 3 or 4 to 1? To them those are great odds. That's the story of this thing. $100 to win $400, yeehaw type thing.

I think this isn't correct; the books were saying people were betting on Conor and did not care what the odds were.

Then it's even more a case of lol public. If they were willing to take +100 then it's even more an indication of how dumb they are.

Damn it. What were the odds on Mayweather to win in round 10 just like he did against Ricky Hatton!? Ugh.

Sharps win, public lose.

Would love it if Floyd ever stepped in an MMA arena but he's arguably the best micro-managed fighter of all-time to ever be that stupid to step into one.
