While it won’t be as big as Mayweather-McGregor in terms of betting, there’s sure to be a lot of money placed on this bout. The thing is, the odds are razor thin according to Sportsbook Review, as GGG is favored by a mere -185, and is even as low as -150 for some bookmakers. That’s practically a pick ’em in the sports world, so the best way to make some money is by doing prop bets.
No matter who wins, this is sure to be an exciting contest. It could very well go down as the Fight of the Year, and depending on the outcome, a rematch may not be out of the question.
