This is a fight that you cannot bet with a huge degree of certainty. Mayweather has a 4 pound advantage (can't believe he is not being penalized more for this) but has been out of the ring for 2 years. 4 pounds is a huge advantage at this level and if Mayweather is as good as he was, this could easily lead to a Mayweather knockout between rounds 7-9.
BUT...Marquez is a true warrior and I am not sure Mayweather has the fire power to bang him out early or even mid fight. Marquez needs a big performance to continue to get the big pay per view fights and I think he gives a brave effort but eventually loses on points or a late KO. With so many intangibles I cannot recommend anybody to bet big on this fight.
If there is going to be a KO. I think it will be very late so I will have a small saver on the KO between rounds 10-12 but my main bet (which is the safest I can think of) is the fight to go the distance at 8/13 (think thats - 150 ish)..Won't mention figures, especially for Rich so will just use my star system :-). Bets placed on Paddypower.com for the doubters.
Plays: 3 star, Fight to go distance @ -150 (8/13)
1 star, Mayweather KO between 10-12 @ +800, (8/1)
Good Luck all with your plays
