This Saturday night brings us the Andre Berto versus Floyd Mayweather Jr pay-per-view event from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight does not seem to come with the hype of the usual Floyd Mayweather Jr spectacles, as Berto has been roundly criticized as an opponent, especially for what Mayweather is touting as his last fight.
As expected, Mayweather is a huge favorite for the fight, but the books have a wide array of props that have popped up that may be worth a look at.

The supporting fights feature two world titles on the line and have much more interesting and competitive lines. At Super Middleweight, WBC World titleholder Badou Jack defends his belt against England’s George Groves, while Mexico’s Orlando Salido faces Puerto Rico’s Roman Martinez in a bid to regain the WBO Super Featherweight title he lost to Martinez in a showdown this past April.
Groves has a pair of stand out fights against Carl Froch that made him a star in Britain, but he is fighting away from home for the first time, and Jack is a member of Mayweather’s Money Team, so he is basically fighting at home. For Salido, he is eager to get a crack at Martinez away from Martinez home base of Puerto Rico, where he lost the belt on the road. The pay per view fights will also see “Money Team” member Ishe Smith face tough opposition as he gets veteran Vanes Martisoryan.
