Mayweather vs. McGregor one of Betway's most profitable events

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Betway has hailed the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight as one of the busiest and most profitable events in its history.

Betway's Alan Alger said, "The bet count throughout Saturday was similar to if a major football final was taking place that evening.

"Some of the early rounds for McGregor had liabilities that would have produced a record loss on any market we've ever offered. Thankfully, in the end, we couldn't have picked a better outcome.

"It was one of the busiest and most profitable events in the history of the company."

Following the fight, Betway are offering 7/2 that there is a rematch under boxing rules in 2018, while it's 33/1 for a bout between the two under UFC rules in 2018.

In Betway's "what will Mayweather do next?" market, he is 4/6 to compete at WrestleMania, 9/2 to buy a Las Vegas casino and 10/1 to run for U.S. Senate.

Tony Ferguson is 6/4 favorite to McGregor's next fight, with Kevin Lee 7/4, Mayweather 4/1 and Nate Diaz 5/1.
