Why did the Westgate open odds now? "With all of the recent discussions about the fight, we figured we might as well make it bettable," Sherman told ESPN.
Mayweather opened as a -4000 favorite at Westgate in last fight against Andre Berto in Sept. 2015.

hno:. If one wants to make any significant money, you're tying up a very large sum of money, for a long time, on something that's likely not ever going to happen. But if there ever was a time to do so, this would be it. Floyd cannot lose this fight unless he wants to.
