I don't think they are scalpers. My guess is that most poeple don't know how good Kessler really is b/c they haven't seen him fight. Beyer has been more visible and has fought more name opponents, he also holds one of the major belts. I imagine some poeple are taking a shot at the big + money, not knowing that Beyer is average and Kessler is the real deal. They are also missing the fact that Kessler is much taller, longer, stronger, younger, fresher, faster, more technically sound, and is fighting in his back yard. Most of Beyer's wins were contraversial decisions in Germany...not this time.
I already have dozens of parlays riding on Kessler at -200 average odds, and I'm still considering laying the -535 here
