BetDSI.eu has McGregor as the slight favorite, while Bodog.ca is leaning towards De La Hoya.
According to BetDSI if the fight were to take place in 2018 they have McGregor at a -125 favorite and De La Hoya a +105 underdog.
“This isn’t a GOAT versus an untrained boxer scenario all over again. With proper time to train, we expect McGregor to be quite competitive in the ring, particularly against an aging De La Hoya that doesn’t possess the quickness or power he may need to win,” stated the folks at BetDSI.
Bodog’s oddsmakers are placing De La Hoya at a -140 favorite and McGregor coming in even.

No -500 (1/5)
