Bovada.lv sports book manager Kevin Bradley spoke with Yahoo! Sports on the heavy bets they have been getting for the mega money fight, which is trending to be an event bet on more than the NFL Super Bowl.

“We knew this fight would be big, potentially even bigger than the Super Bowl, but now we are almost certain it will be,” Bradley said. “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.”

The odds have continued to drop following their world tour as fans continue to pound bets on McGregor, which is bringing the odds between the two fighters closer and closer. Even with McGregor having a 0-0 professional boxing record, people believe in “Mystic Mac” and are obviously confident enough to to put their money behind him.
