We're officially in crunch time for Saturday's fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor, and the big dogs have come out to play.

Multiple bets upward of $1 million were placed on Mayweather in Las Vegas on Thursday, according to David Purdum of ESPN.

MGM sportsbook took a bet from a VIP guest at -550 odds, potentially netting the winner just $182,000.

William Hill's Nevada sportsbook received $1.2 million in cash at -500 odds

The aggressive wagers have pushed Mayweather's odds up above -600, after briefly dipping below -500 last week.

Mayweather said earlier in the week he'd be betting 'heavy' on himself. He should hope to have gotten the odds at their least favorable.
