Millions of dollars were put on the line by those betting on the money fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although the fight seems to have fallen short of the financials and pay-per-view buys<\/a> of what is still the richest fight in combat sports in Mayweather vs Pacquiao, the “MayMac” fight did shatter one combat sports record in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

According to VSIN<\/a>, Nevada state\u2019s Gaming Control Board released figures on Friday morning stating that roughly $65 million was wagered on the 2017 money fight between Mayweather and McGregor. This shattered the previous boxing wager record set by Mayweather and Pacquaio in 2015, which handled $50 million.<\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe estimated \u2014 from the books we talked to, and that was about 90 percent of the books \u2014 there was in excess of $62 million wagered on that fight,\u201d said Michael Lawton, senior research analyst for the Nevada Gaming Control Board. <\/p>\n

By the way the lines moved with a lot of money being put on McGregor as the underdog<\/a>, Las Vegas was surely relieved when Floyd Mayweather stopped the UFC lightweight champion in the tenth round of his professional boxing debut.<\/p>\n

Although a new record for the sport of boxing, the estimated $65 million falls very short of the biggest event wagered on in Las Vegas. The last Super Bowl in February starches the boxing record by over twice as much with $138.5 million handled in the state.<\/p>\n
