    I've read many a post lately actually predicting the upset, confidently. But does anyone feel confident enough to lay down some cash?

    I wanted to bet Marquez, but used some convoluted logic, I bet the opposite of what I'd like to see happen. This way I'm happy either way. :yep:yep

    I'd love to see the guy win. But c'mon.

    Betting on the underdog of a mismatch fight is a big risk... JMM is 4 to 1 underdog so your $100 dollar bet gets $400 in return... It's either your $100 gone easily or you will be winning big... ;)

    Most of us love to see JMM wins coz that's better for boxing... But JMM is the heavy underdog in this mismatch fight... Betting on JMM is like kissing your money goodbye...

    No way i would bet on JMM.
    He is not getting a decision in this one. Its like i said he will win the fight in the fans eyes but he will not get the nod due to boxing politics and of course Pac-Mayweather.

    Nobody is really betting on Marquez to win, anyone who bets on him is betting as a fan. I might plop 28$ or so to win 100$, with the understanding that I'm essentially donating money to the sportsbook.

    If he wins, I will believe in miracles. He has no chance. None. Big money will come in on Floyd and Floyd by KO, but I won't be part of it, it just feels morally wrong to have interest in Floyd here.
