Dave Mason announced Friday huge limits on Saturday's big Canelo vs. Crawford fight.
"Canelo Alvarez (-170) vs Terence Crawford (+149) limits up to $50,000.
"Took a $23,442 missile on last night on Canelo -178.
"Even with the big bet, overall action evening out. Alvarez currently a small loss; TC a medium win."
Mason has yet to disclose BetOnline's volume thus far. We can see on the prediction market Kalshi that more than $3 million has been wagered on this bout there alone. Three of our top ten articles on Gambling911.com in terms of overall impressions are related to this fight.
It will be the first fight at 5-year-old Allegiant Stadium, the Saturday night showdown underscoring the magnitude of an event that will have implications for both boxers trying to further strengthen their Hall of Fame-worthy careers.
Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 knockouts), as is typically the case when the Mexican great fights in his boxing home of Las Vegas, will have the vast majority of the crowd behind him as he defends his unified super middleweight championship. The 35-year-old is a -175 favorite at BetMGM Sportsbook.
“This fight for me is big,” Alvarez said. “It’s one of the biggest fights of my career for sure.”
Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) is moving up two weight classes, and the 37-year-old from Omaha, Nebraska, already has captured two unified division titles. No male fighter has accomplished that feat in three classes.
“This is a massive fight,” Crawford said. “It’s talked about all over the world right now.”
Top Rank matchmaker Bruce Trampler, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2010, has booked many of those matches, but he’s not involved with this one. UFC CEO and President Dana White and Riyadh Season are promoting this card.
“I think it’s right up there with the great fights in Las Vegas history,” Trampler said. “You’ve got two champions fighting. There’s a lot of storylines — Crawford moving up in weight, Canelo hoping to cement his legacy. But beyond all that, on paper it’s a tremendous matchup. It’s two contrasting styles, two contrasting fan bases. It’s got all the ingredients.”

- iGaming Advocates Gives His Take on Prediction Markets Futures - "There's speculation some predictive market will pull the stunt of pretending iGaming is a 'predictive market' like 'historical horse racing' is a facade for slots. Which of course is hijacking iGaming. I have argued sweepstakes absolutely could try to confuse the argument and claim sweepstakes casinos are 'predictive markets.' Come up with some 'international regulatory board that's like TOTALLY legit' to pretend it's legal." (read more from iGaming Advocates here)

- On Friday, U.S. Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., and Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss., reintroduced the Withdrawing Arduous Gaming Excise Rates (WAGER) Act, which would exempt regulated sports betting operators from the current 0.25 percent federal excise tax placed on all legal wagers. The bill’s sponsors say the WAGER Act will “protect legal sportsbooks and gaming businesses” and “help states like Nevada and tribal communities reinvest their gaming revenues into their local economies.” Cortez Masto and Hyde-Smith introduced the WAGER Act in July 2024, but the bill died in the last congressional session. Similar bipartisan federal legislation has been introduced in the lower chamber by U.S. Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev., and Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa. Visitation to Las Vegas and Southern Nevada has declined in 2025, due to a variety of internal and external factors. Cortez Masto said now is an ideal time to provide tax relief.
