Anyone planning on trading this fight, or even watching it at 4am :D
Never traded boxing myself. I am guessing it could be interesting though as a market

Already active in the pre fight market. They have been some huge arbs between Betdaq and Betfair this week. Volume on Betdaq is higher than Betfair.

Mayweather is a slow starter in fights typicaly I can only see Manny's price shortening during the first few rounds I think its a good back to lay option.

In play for this one will be very interesting. Both fighters are in the twighlight of their careers and often at their respective ages a fighter's abilities can decline pretty rapidly and surprise people, especially at this level where even the slightest drop can make a fighter unable to live with the competition.

Mayweather hasn't looked quite the same physically in his last 2 fights and has relied more on his ring smarts to overcome the opposition. Not many people are talking about it but for me it wouldn't be a massive shock if Mayweather (or potentially Pacquaio) isn't at the same level as previously which would have a massive baring on the outcome of the fight.

When this fight became official, I was expecting Mayweather to be around 1.3, 1.6+ is absolutely huge IMO. Are people possibly going for the feel good story?

Could be Naffman. At first I thought Mayweather might have been a bit shorter tbh. Normally in the build up to fights Mayweather has been well billed by the media as being 'invincible' but not this time as it's not in their interests to do so, but IMO if Pacquaio (who I have to admit I do hope wins myself) is at his absolute best and Mayweather fights like the last couple of time then Pacquaio should win (big IFs of course)

Mayweather record is amazing. 47-0
Think Marciano was 49-0 albeit in a different weight division

Mayweather Jr plays like Chelsea - Its never pretty or classy but he always gets the result.

Sensational mate

Was that pre-fight trading, or were you actually trading 'in play'?

Worked a nice position before the start and carried it in-play.
