Mayweather-McGregor fight could result in largest payout for William Hill

(PRESS RELEASE) -- A Conor McGregor victory over Floyd Mayweather could result in the largest payout ever for William Hill's Nevada Sports Books.

"If McGregor wins, the fight outcome has the potential to be the biggest loss in William Hill Nevada history,” said Nick Bogdanovich, William Hill U.S. Director of Trading.

Through the first week of accepting wagers on the bout, the action on the fight at William Hill's 109 Nevada Sports Books and on the Mobile Sports app has been unprecedented.

Previously, the largest fight in William Hill Nevada Sports Book history was Mayweather vs Pacquiao (2 May 2015). Looking back at the first seven days of action on both fights, the Mayweather vs McGregor fight has triple the number of bets written and over double the total dollars wagered (compared to the first seven days of wagering for Mayweather vs Pacquiao).
