Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor fighting each other seemed like a pipe dream mere months ago, but now we're on the eve of the biggest fight since Manny Pacquiao fought Mayweather in 2015. As with any event of this size, Las Vegas has been fluctuating on odds regarding the fight, starting with whether or not it would even happen.
As it stands, Mayweather sits at -450 odds of victory, a far cry from where he started. He will likely stay around that number ahead of the fight, which will air live on Showtime PPV on Saturday at 9 p.m. ET.

McGregor's may still be considered a "long shot" in terms of odds, but they're no where near what they were at the start. Anyone who got in on this fight on the ground floor is in for a serious payday if McGregor does manage to pull off the massive upset. However, things have leveled out as time has gone on.
