Ricky Hatton v Floyd Mayweather

Saturday night sees the fight of the decade take place at Las Vegas as Britain’s Ricky Hatton aims for greatness on a grand scale when he takes on Floyd Mayweather. The American pretty boy is generally regarded as the finest pound for pound fighter on the planet and victory for Hatton would propel him into the pantheon of all-time greats.

This fight has sent tremors across the betting industry thanks to the sheer weight of money on this fight. At Sportingbet it’s no different, with bets struck over the last six months on this epic contest. Now with just hours to go the Sportingbet traders go into the fight with mixed feelings as Affiliate Sportsbook Manager Chris Graham explains,

“We’d all like Ricky Hatton to win as his courage and commitment all there for all to see but if he wins we’re looking at a big payout on Sunday morning that will leave us with a more painful head than Ricky or Floyd’s! Over the last week we’ve saw bundles of cash for The Hitman and his price has gone as short as 33/20. We’re hoping The Pretty Boy can keep a smile on our face over the weekend.”

Here are Sportingbet’s latest odds on the contest:

Fight Winner
Floyd Mayweather 11/20 Draw 22/1 Ricky Hatton 33/20


Total Rounds
Over 11.5 Rounds 2/5 Under 11.5 Rounds 2/1
