In fact, Caesars Palace, one of the most well-known hotels and casinos in Sin City, said that of the first 144 bets that they received, 140 of them backed the 28-year-old.
Even though an overwhelming amount of punters are throwing their money on the lightweight UFC Champion, the stacks of money read in Mayweather's favour.
The big spenders are betting on the 40-year-old with one bookmaker saying that they have received stakes as high as $50,000 backing the American.
In total, 79% of all money bet on the fight is on a Mayweather win.
The boxing match will likely smash pay-per-view records and interest in it vastly outweighs any other headline Las Vegas bouts, with more money placed on McGregor vs. Mayweather in two days compared to an entire two months of betting on Sergey Kovalev vs. Andre Ward.
The fight will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on 26 August.Explore more on these topics:
