Bet on the winner of McGregor vs. Mayweather
The general opinion surrounding this fight is that McGregor is in over his head. If this were an MMA fight, Floyd likely wouldn’t last one minute. That’s not the case though, and these two will be fighting in a boxing match likely at a weight that favors Floyd.
McGregor vs. Mayweather betting odds
- Conor McGregor: 6/1
- Floyd Mayweather: 1/10
- Draw: 33/1
Conor McGregor is without a doubt one of the most skilled boxers in the UFC, and has won the majority of his fights using his legendary left cross. Nevertheless, he’s never taken a professional boxing fight, and it’s unclear how his skills will translate with bigger gloves and shorter rounds. These questions are a reason why McGregor is the significant betting underdog according to nearly all online sportsbooks in Ireland with odds of 6/1.
Mayweather is considered by many experts to be the most skilled boxers of all time. His defensive ability and big-fight experience has earned him a 49-0 record with 26 knockouts. Floyd is understandably the massive favorite here with odds of 1/10.
Bet on which round the fight ends
One of the best McGregor vs. Mayweather bets you can make right now is on which round the fight ends. There are so many questions over how the fight will go, and some great odds are available for betting on which round the fight ends.
McGregor has earned the reputation as a knockout artist. As a result, most boxing betting experts feel his only chance to win is with a quick KO in the early rounds. He’s certainly a talented counter-striker, but can he catch one of the best of all time? Conor’s odds to win in the first round are set at 66/1. These odds remain mostly the same throughout the fight, until the 8th round when his odds go up to 80/1.
Floyd Mayweather has found success thanks to his uncanny ability to avoid being hit. He’s not known for his knockout power, but has proven time and time again to have a stinging jab and straight right. Paddy Power also lists low odds for Floyd to win early at 66/1. As the fight progresses, his odds get better. For Mayweather to win in the last 3 rounds, his odds are set at 14/1.
Bet on if both fighters get knocked down
It’s not common to see a fight in which both fighters get knocked down, but stranger things have happened. Floyd has never really suffered a knockdown in his career. Can McGregor be the man to drop him?
If in fact Conor could drop Floyd it would make Irish gambling news. If he can win by KO, he’ll enter an unprecedented level of superstardom. At the moment, the odds for both fighters to get dropped in the fight are set at 10/1.
