im not sure if this is normal or not so i thought id ask you blokes to get an idea.
i was at the pub friday thought id have a look at sportsbet, in the mayweather hatton fight mayweather was paying about $1.40 for the win hatton about $2.50. when it came to method of win mayweather was paying $2.10 for decision and $4.00 for knock out. seems a bit odd that such a firm favourite would be paying those odds for decision and k.o
anyone got some opinions to enlighten me?

Quite simply comes back to betting % Crush...

For a win he's a 71.42% chance of winning

BY KO = 47.62%
BY DECISION = 25.0%
TOTAL = 72.61%

SO unless you like the KO or Decision as an outright bet, you're better off putting all your money on the $1.40 for a win as you will get a better return...
