Right now it's only a proposed fight. And even that's being kind. But if Floyd Mayweather were to step into the ring with Khabib Nurmagomedov, the bookies have already chosen their favorite.

The undefeated boxing champ is favored 20-to-1 over the also undefeated Russian UFC titleholder by online sportsbook Bovada. The matchup has been publicly proposed by Nurmagomedov, who was seen in a video issuing a challenge to Mayweather, saying, "Hey, let's go, Floyd. We have to fight now." Nurmagomedov then taunted Mayweather, pointing out that he was able to take down Conor McGregor, while the boxer was only able to defeat the Irish fighter with a TKO.
