Let’s face it, Floyd Mayweather is almost definitely going to beat Conor McGregor on Saturday night.

The American’s current price of is very generous considering both his pedigree and the fact he’s not fighting a professional boxer.

Admittedly, there’s not much fun in backing such a short favourite, but there’s plenty of value to be found if we dig down to the specifics.

The sheer size of the event means there are certain to be plenty of celebrities in attendance, and it should be relatively easy to deduce which ones will be pictured ringside.

Sylvester Stallone is among the favourites at , and is worth backing considering he’s already posted about the fight on Instagram.

Another actor worth punting on is Denzel Washington, who achieved meme status when he turned up dressed like this at Mayweather’s fight against Manny Pacquiao.

He’s a huge boxing fan, and with TMZ reporting that he’s purchased ringside tickets, he’s got to be backed at .
