Here’s the odds on some of the oddest bets you can make on the McGregor / Mayweather fight

Our favourite one involves the crossover bet with Game Of Thrones.

We don’t know if you know this, but there’s a pretty major sports event taking place in a few hours.

To be fair, the publicity for the match has been fairly low-key, so we totally understand if the McGregor V Mayweather fight has passed you by.*

For the select few who might have an interest in the fight, there has been plenty of buzz building up to the fight regarding who the bookies were seeing as being the most likely to win, and the constantly fluctuating odds on that bet, too.

However, there is a multitude of other things you can bet on the fight beyond just which one of the two fighters is going to win.

To that end, offshore sportsbook and betting aggregate sit bovada.la has put out some of the more “out there” bets they have had customers make with them:
