once again... IF the true line was in fact -5000 but they posted the odds at -600... there would so much god damned money reigning down on the books they would have no choice but to push the line back to -5000.
Exactly this. Wherever I hear this fight being discussed everyone always seems to think Mayweather should be a 1.01 favourite end of discussion. If that is so true how come the (extremely liquid) exchange markets have him drifting out day by day? Huge amounts available at 1.3 (-333.33) as I type. Dont get me wrong I can see why people say that but money talks and that is the line.
I find it interesting as well ticket sales for this fight have been so slow. The PPV purchase numbers I thought would be very high but we will have to see.
