Is there any reason not to put $3k on Canelo?

    $2500 on Canelo
    $500 on under 9.5

    Seems like the closest thing to $1000 for free to me...

    Outside of freak accidents and injuries, I don't see any possible way Khan takes this and almost no way he lasts over 9.5. Realistically, it's like a 97% chance you win.

    Anyone else getting in on this free money this weekend??

    Yes there is. Gambling is addictive. Betting 4-figures is a sure bet you'll end up completely broke.

    What if Canelo has an off night, or decides he wants to carry Khan through to the 11th or 12th rounds and does not go for a KO? This is a possible scenario. That is why betting is not good for your bank balance.

    lol, that's only if you have a real issue with it, not if you make consistent, intelligent bets.

    why stop at the house? imma go ahead and put the savings accounts, the children's college funds, and everything else as well. free $$$!!!!! :happy

    off night? off nights don't just happen in your prime with this much at stake against a guy you could literally beat with one arm, lol.

    khan is the most overhyped fighter of this generation and can't even beat solid 147 pounders. how is he going to beat canelo?

    and even if he wants to "carry" khan.. canelo is not a big puncher, but a setup shot can hurt him. this is khan we're talking about :lol: worst case khan fights an extremely safe fight and somehow survives 10 rounds, but even with that you still break even.

    i've tried to play out scenarios where khan can win and i seriously can't think of any other than crazy, unlikely things like injuries and cuts. people comparing this to situations like dlh-pac are silly. give a real example of a situation like this in the past where a guy like khan has won.. i can't think of one.
