According to reports, the Maloofs got Mayweather at minus-550, which means the ticket will return the former Sacramento Kings' owners a cool $160,000.

The brothers will donate the winnings to various charities in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
According to the AP, almost all of the money is on McGregor right now, including 85% of the total money. With some books having Mayweather as high as minus-600, the only real way to make dough on this fight is to either go big on Floyd or shoot for the upset with Conor.
