But in exhibition matches it's all about numbers. Numbers of people who watch, numbers of people who buy ticket and other things etc. Revenue.

This is the purpose of exhibition matches and it is geared towards a purpose maybe for giving the realized money for some social responsibilities or to less privileged, so it is not taking seriously for both parties. Betting on such matches even if the promoters decide to put out for bet or the casino bet on it, it is not a serious bet and I can avoid putting money on it but it does specify a winner at the end just for spectators delight.

None of these fights are sanctioned, there's no official scoring or winner. So my question is: How is it even possible to place bets on such fights if no official winner is announced?

I would bet on Floyd winning every single one of these but then again, how does this even work if no scoring is done?

Exhibition fight in boxing and some other sport are not real fight. It is a non-profit fight, participants normally fight in less rounds, like up to three, the kind of gloves the boxers wear are not delivering much punches like the ones worn during real boxing fight. Let us see it just like friendly matches in football. There are some sportbooks that do not include such matches, they prefer real boxing matches, but some sportbooks include it. This is never a match I can go for though.

I would place bets but I don't want to end up scammed given the grey area of this whole exhibiton fights thing.

don't bet. that's the simplest solution to a problem you wouldn't have to see it as problem. you just have to watch the fight as it is meant for watching for us to be entertained. its a way for the production to make money from people who still have money.

I think its far better to avoid betting that kind of matches. I also think they don't show up in gambling sites that much but yeah, especially boxing matches are mainly "show" more than they are "sports match". I mean in regular, betting for one guy means you think he will beat/win. But in exhibition matches it's all about numbers. Numbers of people who watch, numbers of people who buy ticket and other things etc. Revenue.

If you can ever bet on it, pick DRAW. But usually, it's not on the crypto sports bookies. Many of them are not even with Floyd vs Paul was not even added afaik. I don't see any reason for it on a betting platform when we all know it's going to be a draw.

People like exhibition fights of celebrity boxers though, Tyson vs Jones was a hit. We'd probably not see them fight anymore.

Eloncoin.org - Mars, here we come!

the game must have winner , and that is enough to answer your question meaning either being rigged or manipulated ? who must care aside from the bettors like us?
because the administration and the boxers team does not.
in all chances they will all win in this , so I believe that as a concern gamblers like us? better not to bet or partake in exhibition games like what I did after Mike Tyson exhibition fight recently .

I'm not sure since I haven't bet on it.

But I will assume that perhaps it was just the ML that sportbookies are going to offer in this kind of exhibitions fight. And so if Mayweather is like 1.0x-1.1 favorite, then there is no value in that kind of bet.

So it's better to stir away and smart boxer fans know that this is just for pure entertainment, nothing more and money making for boxers like Floyd Mayweather or the Paul brothers.

Most sportsbooks don't accept exhibition matches afaik? Since as you said, there's a rather vague area in it that most won't risk taking. I'd honestly avoid it if you can, especially if you're seeing the gray areas yourself. If ever I'd think sportsbooks would only put out odds on the match results itself, who won and who lost, and even then I'd doubt they'd actually add it since, well, most exhibition matches have very big skill gaps between the competitors.

There must be a winner in whatever form it may take. Certainly, there must be a winner declared in the end. It might just be a winner without having to prove his points per round or why he came out as one, but I suppose it's enough for the gambling odds to be settled.

Anyway, if you are seeing a whole lot of gray areas in this whole exhibition saga in boxing, then you can avoid it altogether. To be honest, this kind of matches aren't only exhibition fights. The Pauls are into professional bouts. This exhibition virus has already crept into the professional scene for quite a while.

Definitely, there is no judges in Floyd's recent fight with a Japanese fighter, and so bookies open up whether he will win or lose that fight simply as that. And so far he has knock out his opponent if he is fighting in Japan but maybe holding up when facing others.

That's why I usually don't bet on this kind of exhibitions fight because it's either rigged or setup. Floyd will not allow himself to get beaten in exhibition, so for sure, he will continue to win unless Pacquiao is next and the fight could ended in a draw.

Floyd is fighting again some huge UK Youtuber "Deji" in a couple of weeks, I would place bets but I don't want to end up scammed given the grey area of this whole exhibiton fights thing.

If there's no scoring involved in the match then the sportsbook shouldn't put up the odds but based on Wikipedia that exhibition match was counted as a win for Floyd since it was a TKO. Plus if the odds maker gets carried away the bets would most likely just get voided or canceled since there's no determined winner.

Then again I don't think it's worth betting on an exhibition match knowing the odds would be one-sided compared to an official boxing match where they compete at a much tighter level.

Exhibition bouts are becoming increasingly successful in selling PPVs. Basically what it means is that there's your regular card setup with 4 fights (I mostly see this in boxing) and at least one has some big name that attracts a ton of public. For instance, Mayweather's last exhibiton fight has over 4 million views in japan:
