Bloody Elbow reports that the latest odds for Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor still have McGregor as the underdog, although his odds have improved considerably from the odds he opened at (around or over +1000). Bovada.lv has Mayweather as the -550 favorite with McGregor at +375, although McGregor was briefly at +350. 5Dimes has McGregor as high as -740 with SportBet (via Pro Boxing Odds) listing McGregor at +550.

Bovada.lv sports book manager Kevin Bradley told Yahoo: “We knew this fight would be big, potentially even bigger than the Super Bowl, but now we are almost certain it will be. The recent trash talking and promotional tour is only encouraging bets and at this rate we cannot even imagine how much we will take on it. One thing is for sure though, we will need Mayweather huge. A McGregor early round KO as he promised would be a potential disaster and is partly a reason we are giving a great price on Mayweather at the moment.

Prop bets from Bavada have Mayweather at -140 to win by KO or TKO, +250 for a decision, +450 for a McGregor KO/TKO and +1000 for McGregor to win by decision. There are +1100 bets for McGregor to throw a kick and -6500 for him to follow the rules of boxing. The over/under for 4.99 million PPV buys is -200 for yes and +140 for no. Odds for McGregor to win inside four rounds, which he predicted, is at +700, with any other result at -1500.

The event happens on August 26 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It airs on Showtime PPV with the preliminary fights on FOX.
