The antics of the greatest boxer in history, the great Ali, paled in comparison with the hype surrounding the Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor fight.
As August 26 approaches, the bets continue to swell in size and number. Mayweather is still the favorite to win at -600 (bet $600 to win $100), while McGregor is listed at -400 (bet $100 to win $100), which is understandable considering the Irishman has never fought a professional boxing match in his life.

Arguably, one could reason Mayweather is too old or that McGregor is better trained to justify betting on either man to win.
But, while betting on which fighter wins may not be your cup of tea perhaps laying down some money on some of the lesser-known proposition bets does call your attention.
Because, for an intents and purposes, the trash-talking street brawl has already taken place, and the fight is just an afterthought, so at this point it’s much more fun to bet on what will happen if and when McGregor loses his cool.
