    Mayweather to win by KO/TKO/DISQ/RTD is 16/5 with William Hill.


    Definitely worth a few quid, especially considering Floyd weighed in at 4 pounds heavier than Marquez.

    TFFP, what's your view on this price?

    Fair price IMO, considering Marquez has very few advantages save for the fact Mayweather has been inactive, which is not even something he is bringing but something he is relying on.

    Thinking of having a punt?

    I've got a free ten pound bet, from Betfair, so will perhaps just stick it on him for the fun anyway.

    40 quid return and pray that Floyd has turned into rust... he doesn't look like it though.

    If its a free bet you might as well use it for something with value. May as well take the decision too, he's hardly likely to stop Mayweather :think

    JMM pts is about 6 and a half to one.... not much diff really.

    I think I'm just going to put it on a JMM win for the fun of it at 4/1, hope something goes drastically wrong with Floyd.

    Latest odds - courtesy of Betfair....

    Mayweather 1/4
    Marquez 9/2
    Draw 45/1

    Mayweather KO/DQ 2/1
    Mayweather PTS 11/10
    Marquez KO/DQ 13/1
    Marquez PTS 7/1

    Mayweather to be KD'd 5/7 - something not right here
    Marquez to be KD'd 1/5 - ditto

    Mayweather KO 1-3 11/2
    Marquez KO 1-3 25/1
    Mayweather KO 4-6 5/1
    Marquez KO 4-6 27/1
    Mayweather KO 7-9 4/1
    Marquez KO 7-9 29/2
    Mayweather KO 10-12 16/5
    Marquez KO 10-12 5/1

    As usual with Betfair some odds are skewed with not a lot of money being matched on the various options.

    I'm glad I put a tenner on Leeds at 4/9 - 3 up after 50 minutes.

    Calzaghe has gone from 3/1 to 22/1 in the dancing, that's how bad he was. :lol:

    I was absolutely steamed last night, apologies if I wasn't making too much sense on here, I don't think I was too bad though.

    Looking forward to the fight later, got a £10 on JMM.

    I've got a ton on Floyd winning via KO/TKO

    This is such a ugly fight to bet on. Doesn't appeal me one bit.
