Boxing Points Handicap

Question

I was looking over the Mayweather McGregor prop bets and I noticed a "Points Handicap"? I have kind of gathered through research that its the adding of the difference of all the judges cards. So the prop is Mayweather at -39.5 and McGregor at +39.5. So if the judges scored this fight unanimously for Mayweather with scores of 120-107, 119-109, 120-106 the difference would equal 37 (120-107=13, 119-109=10, 120-106=14 so 13+10+14=37) would mean that McGregor with +39.5 would be the winning bet? Please confirm or deny if this is correct for me.

Also what if the fight is stopped with a TKO how will they decide the points handicap prop?

Many thanks in advance!

Yeah you got it.3 judges.Say he wins every round 10-9.  12 10-9 rounds means 12 points x 3 judges = 36 points.So he will have to have knockdowns or points taken or 10-8 rounds to make up the extra 3.5 to get over 39.5.  Assuming he wins every round.That or a knockout-check the rules on that to make sure.
