Punter stands to win/lose an absolute fortune with very ballsy McGregor-Mayweather bet

Only the very brave are placing bets on McGregor-Mayweather, for a very good reason.

Call it cash-grab, a freakshow, a circus act... whatever you want. To the non-cynics, all these hackneyed buzz words mean the same thing - Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather is just plain bizarre. A strange match-up paves the way for a strange outcome, and since there has never been a fight quite like this before, plenty of people are wary of placing their hard-earned cash on a particular result. Mayweather is the overwhelming favourite, but there isn't much value in backing him to beat the debutant. While you will stand to earn a lot of moolah by betting on McGregor, you run the risk of looking like a complete and utter choad if the most likely outcome, a comprehensive Mayweather victory, comes to fruition. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/885281875266347008 People laughed at Brendan Schaub when he announced his outrageous MayMac bet on his podcast. The former UFC heavyweight put $100,000 on McGregor to take at least one round against the undefeated prizefighter after boxing commentator Max Kellerman predicted the UFC superstar would not be able to land a single punch. If you yucked it up over that one, be prepared to belly chuckle yourself unconscious over this American punter's brave bet that McGregor will win. https://twitter.com/darrenrovell/status/889629914214924290 It's high risk, but if it pays off, he will look like an absolute genius. That's a huge 'if' though.
