Because the opening was 25:1. In layman's terms, that means you'd bet $100 and win $4.
90% of the (number of) bets were on McGregor. 80% of the money was on Mayweather.
That means many guys laid down the $10-$100 bets, just looking for a little action, and likely MMA fans. The big money (on Mayweather) was from the guys who knew what they were doing, and (likely) do it professionally.
Finally, Mayweather admitted he tried to lay a bet on himself, and the casino he entered (undisclosed at the time) refused to take his bet.
