    Rigondeaux came in at +3000 vs Agbeko, which I think is second after Tyson vs Douglas

    Tyson vs Douglas was the biggest disparity I am aware off, Tyson was +5000 and possibly higher at one point. Are you you aware of any bigger disparity?

    Wlad/Mormeck was 100/1. I see 30/1 odds once in a while.

    +50000
    -10000

    when odds get this long(generally past 15-1) the buy and sell are half.

    Brahmer and Santa Cruz were 25/1 this weekend. I've seen Wlad on 100/1 a few times. Khan was on some ridiculous handicap before being ko'd by Prescott. Although some times the bookies gets it wrong. When you can catch them off with fights like Maidana over Broner, Maidana was 12/1 to win on points which when you look at it now is greats odds. Golovkin was on 9/2 before his Proska fight. We should hype up sh*t fighters more often, get the world believing they're the next best thing and bet big when he steps up to a decent opponent. My money is waiting for Wilder

    I wonder if anybody became millionaire betting on Douglas in that fight. Crazy odds.
