Heavy, one-sided McGregor betting has created huge exposure and liability for the books. If McGregor is able to pull off the upset, public bettors will be rewarded with a massive plus-money payout, which would be a nightmare for the books.
“This could be the worst loss in the history of MGM Resorts,” Jay Rood, VP of MGM, told ESPN.
Needless to say, the books will be rooting hard for Mayweather to run his record to 50-0 on Saturday night.
“All I know is we’re less than a week away from making a lot of money or getting clobbered,” Nick Bogdanovich, William Hill director of trading, told ESPN.

"More than 80% of the money has gone on McGregor forcing his odds to improve from 8/1 to 10/3. Which may be part patriotism, part ridiculous optimism."

Evan Young (boxing sharp):
"My eyes tell me McGregor can't box with Mayweather. Mayweather is no fool. He is always in shape, and, as usual is the A side in this promotion. If the gulf in class is as vast as I think it might be, he's going to hit McGregor cleanly -- and a lot. Coupled with seeing McGregor getting tired and hurt against middling MMA fighter Nate Diaz,
I lean towards a stoppage win for Mayweather perhaps between Round 6 and Round 10."
-
Eric Bradley (boxing trainer):
"The Mayweather legacy rises once again, as he takes the stage with a one-sided pounding. Mayweather wins by TKO."
-
Abraham Gonzalez (boxing sharp):
"I can see McGregor taking chances early and getting a point deducted out of frustration later in the fight. Mayweather will dominate the fight with shoulder rolls and that laser right hand down the pipe. Mayweather by unanimous decision."
-
Stephen "Breadman" Edwards (boxing trainer):
"Mayweather starts a little slow and after two or three rounds he takes over. He stops Conor between Round 6 and Round 8 in a high-contact fight."
-
Christopher Santiago (MMA sharp):
"I think if McGregor is aggressive he may be able to turn this boxing match into a brawl. He would have to find a way to disrupt Mayweather's rhythm. Pressure him up against the ropes and lay some hands on him. Unfortunately, for McGregor, that's not what I think will happen. Mayweather will pepper the body, draining the stamina out of McGregor, for about five or six rounds until he drops McGregor from body shots in the sixth or seventh round.
Mayweather by stoppage in the seventh."
