12. The MMA idiots made it a huge bargain on Mayweather

Money was so lopsided in favor of the MMA guy that the price plummeted on Mayweather to an extreme bargain.

That was the interesting aspect.

Very common breakdown: the local wise guy bettors in Las Vegas were playing high amounts on Mayweather but the "square" or "public" money was avalanching in favor of McGregor, to the point the number of wagers was 18-1 in favor of the MMA clod.
