Biggest bets for Mayweather-McGregor
David Purdum
ESPN Staff Writer
6/15/17

ESPN's Darren Rovell estimated that the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight could bring in $30 million in betting handle at Nevada sportsbooks.

Much of that will come in the days leading up to the fight, but Chalk will be monitoring all of the biggest wagers in this file as they come in.

All odds courtesy of the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook unless otherwise noted.

Opening odds (Feb. 16)

Mayweather -2500
McGregor +1100

Current odds

Mayweather -900
McGregor +600

Biggest Mayweather bets

• On May 30, the Westgate took a $50,000 bet on Mayweather at -800, two weeks before the fight was made official. That bet would net a $6,250 profit with a Mayweather win.

• In the first few hours after the fight was made official Wednesday, CG Technology took a $45,000 bet on Mayweather.

Biggest McGregor bets

• Forty of the first 42 bets at Westgate were on McGregor, the biggest a $1,500 wager at +800 odds.

why the big drop? I still think it should be around -2000, no?

Does conner really have a realistic shot here? I cant see it.

Yep people don't understand boxing is a totally different sport. It's like Crosby playing Michael Jordon one on one in basketball. Michael Jordan may be old but he'd still school Sid the kid.

Mayweather Defense is as good as there has ever been, getting McGregor at +600 isn't nearly enough

Hope Mayweather doesn't run again.


Ya CMcG is used to people wanting to fight. He cannot chase Mayweather around. This would be the upset of all upsets (despite the odds) if he won. Punchers chance of course but lets be real.....Mayweather is gonna run like a little girl again

How much is PBF getting for the fight? 200 million or something like that? Let's just say he catches a shot in the second and gets knocked the fuck out.... that 2nd fight would be worth more than the first, right? So say 250 million? Then he wins the second fight in typical fashion and gets a 3rd fight out of if for another $200-250 million? So if he wins, he has no future payday on the horizon, but if he loses, he gets another 400 or so million?

if I knew this fight was on the up and up, I would feel comfortable betting everything I own on PBF, but because I think $400,000,000 is a shit ton of money, my cash will be on Conner...

Certainly a lot of money. But is he really going to tarnish his legacy and give up going 50-0 by losing to a guy that's not even a boxer? I just don't see it. This is a cash grab for sure. But I wouldn't look to much into a conspiracy. He will get his 50-0, a shit ton of money, and everyone will wonder why they paid money again to watch another boring Mayweather fight.
