    Just had a world with a few UK bookmakers and it seems none of them are taking bets on the fight.

    I don't suppose anyone would have access to the odds from their 3rd fight that I could use as some sort of guidance?

    Its really strange considering they have odds for much "smaller" fights.

    I don't suppose you could get your hands on the odds from their 3rd fight?

    Excuse my ignorance but what is that in Uk betting terms?(fractional odds)

    What price was Marquez?

    -180 is the same as 5/9. You just take 100/180 and reduce by the largest common denominator (20 in this case).

    I don't know what the odds were for Marquez but you could guess around 3/2 because you can consider that the draw is around 25/1 and that the bookies have a profit margin around 10%.

    I hate the fact that these guys are fighting a fourth fight, no need for it. With that said I will watch.

    Heres a better question since there are no odds available - how would you guys price each fighter for this one?

    I thought Marquez might have been slight favourite.

    Paddy Power just sent me an e-mail saying that they were looking into prices and would get back to me within the next 24 hours.

    I'll post up their prices as soon as I get them

    Really? After their last fights, I would find it hard to believe that Marquez isn't the favorite.
