Terence Crawford and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez square off on Saturday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas in one of the biggest fights of the year.

Several bettors will have a very large rooting interest.

A bettor at BetMGM wagered $2 million on Crawford to win the fight at +140 odds on Friday night. The wager would win $2.8 million and is the largest reported wager on the fight.

One bettor at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas also wagered $715,000 on Crawford to win the fight at +140 odds, which would win just over $1 million ($1.001 million to be exact). Other sportsbooks have taken six-figure wagers on Crawford as well.

“We just took a very large bet on Crawford to win and by KO,” Andrew Babakitis, risk manager at the Westgate Las Vegas Super Book, told Yahoo Sports via text message on Friday afternoon. “Price moved from -180 to -160 on Canelo. We have three times as many bets on Crawford. Book loses on both fighters by KO, we are likely going to need a decision if we want to win on the fight.”

Alvarez opened as a -200 favorite at BetMGM, but is down to -150 on the three-way line, while Crawford opened as a +175 underdog and is currently +150. While only 23% of wagers are on Alvarez to win, nearly half the total dollars wagered (42%) at BetMGM are on Canelo, while the betting public is backing the underdog, with 33% of wagers on Crawford to win.

Nearly half the bets (44%) and total dollars wagered (44%) were on a tie, as of Friday morning.

Who is Owen Cooper, the 15-year-old Brit who just made Emmys history?published at 05:56 BST

Moment Owen Cooper becomes youngest ever male Emmy winner

With his performance in Netflix’s hard-hitting drama Adolescence, Owen Cooper, 15, has become the youngest ever male Emmy winner.

The Warrington-born actor was only 14 when the four-part British series was filmed.

Adolescence shows the aftermath of the stabbing of a teenage girl, with a 13-year-old boy from her school arrested for her murder. But what won it sweeping critical acclaim was its exploration of social media-fuelled misogyny among teenage boys.

And Cooper, who plays the young suspect Jamie, delivers what critics described as an “astonishing” and “truly remarkable performance”.

In a Netflix interview, casting director Shaheen Baig recalled seeing Owen’s improvised tape and thinking: “He looks great on camera, but also his improv was really smart. It felt very natural.”

Cooper first became interested in acting at around the age of 10. He attended weekly acting classes for two years in Didsbury, Manchester – though until Adolescence he did not have any TV or film credits to his name.

“I asked my mum and dad if I could start going to drama classes, and I think they were a bit shocked by it because I’ve always wanted to become a footballer,” he said in a Netflix interview.

Cooper broke the record previously held by Scott Jacoby, who was 16 years old when he won an Emmy in 1973 for That Certain Summer.

Key moment: It wasn’t until the 3:25 mark in the fourth quarter that a goal line was successfully crossed – and it was the Falcons who did it. Running back Tyler Allgeier scored on a 5-yard run to secure Atlanta’s victory in Minnesota. The touchdown capped off a 12-play, 83-yard drive that milked six minutes and 17 seconds off the game clock. It essentially made it impossible for the Vikings to pull off a comeback, which wasn’t the case when that drive began.

Where to watch 2025 WNBA playoffs: TV channel, live stream, bracket, schedule, scores after four games Sunday

The first day of the WNBA playoffs didn’t see any real upsets, but it was certainly not uneventful. The Minnesota Lynx and Atlanta Dream took 1-0 leads in their respective series with decisive victories at the start of Sunday’s quadruple-header. Then we got our first overtime of this postseason as the New York Liberty pulled off a win over the Phoenix Mercury, and later in the evening the Las Vegas Aces put on a defensive clinic against the Seattle Storm.

The action will resume on Tuesday with the first batch of Game 2s.

The Minnesota Lynx entered the playoffs as the No. 1 seed after being the WNBA’s most dominant team throughout the 44-game regular season. The Lynx, looking for the fifth championship in team history and their first since 2017, will have home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.

The New York Liberty, the reigning champs, will have no such luxury as injuries and inconsistency led them to the No. 5 seed in the bracket. They are facing the Phoenix Mercury in the first round, who won’t be an easy opponent as Alyssa Thomas fights to extend her outstanding season.

Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Aces were not playing like a championship contender early on, but A’ja Wilson made a strong push for her fourth MVP award by leading her team to a 16-game winning streak to close out the regular season with the No. 2 seed. Becky Hammon’s group is chasing its third championship in four years.

The Atlanta Dream have also exceeded expectations with successful offseason moves that included the addition of star veteran players Brionna Jones and Brittney Griner. As for the Indiana Fever, they reached the playoffs last year for the first time since 2016 and are back again despite multiple injuries to key players — including 2024 Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark, who only appeared in 13 games in 2025 before announcing her season was over earlier this month.

Below is a look at the first-round matchups and the full schedule for the 2025 playoffs.

The full playoff bracket was set after the action on Thursday. Here are the four first-round matchups:

No. 1 Lynx vs. No. 8 Valkyries
No. 2 Aces vs. No. 7 Storm
No. 3 Dream vs. No. 6 Fever
No. 4 Mercury vs. No. 5 Liberty

Teams will play a best-of-three series in the first round, a best-of-five series in the semifinals, and — in a new change this year — a best-of-seven affair in the Finals.

In 2024, the first round had a 2-1 format, which meant the higher seed got the first two games at home, while the lower seed only got to host if they made it to Game 3. This year it will be a 1-1-1 format, with Games 1 and 3 hosted by the higher seed while the opponent hosts Game 2.
