Pacquiao Opens as an 8-5 Favorite Over Mayweather

[pugil1st]

I'll take some of that action.

I remember when Tyson opened as an 25-1 favorite over Holyfield. I didn't place a bet but I thought that was crazy numbers. I think it then dropped to 11-1 or something.

Vegas just insulted Floyd for installing Pac as the betting favorite. DAMN!

Something seems shady here. i'm trying to verify with online houses, and everybody else seems to have FM as the favorite. Does anyone understand why Station has such different odds from everyone else?

Please see:

It doesn't seem that FM will remain the underdog. Here is the bodog perspective:

Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Odds: All of the fighting sports world now wants to see Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather after Pacquiao’s dismantling of Miguel Cotto Saturday night and we are releasing what we anticipate will be the boxing betting line for that event if it is made. Pound-4-Pound king Floyd Mayweather, 40-0, 25 KO’s, looked untouchable in his last fight against Pacquiao victim Juan Manuel Marquez two months ago.

-160 boxing betting favorite at Bodog.com.

Our boxing betting line for Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao is based on both boxer’s skill sets that are broken down below. For this fight we did not have to add in any artificial “public perception” juice to the boxing betting line due to both fighters immense popularity. While our fight picks crew was impressed with Manny Pacquiao’s performance against Miguel Cotto we still did not see anything that would suggest that he should be instilled as a favorite over a boxer of Mayweather’s caliber. Miguel Cotto is a solid B-level fighter but he had been on the decline since his brutal KO loss to Antonio Margarito. We think that Mayweather will hold the advantage over Pacquiao in various areas as they are listed below.

****!!!! JUST MAKE Mayweather the underdog so we can make some money..!!!

[Talisayen]

As expected Floyd a Class B fighter surely will be the underdog against a Class A fighter like Pacquiao.

I won't be surprise if the odds goes up to 1:10 in favor of Pacquiao.

[Undefeated]

If Mayweather is ****y about beating Manny.. He should bet on himself also. Therefore.. If he doesn't get the split he wants, he will get it from the money he bet on himself lol.

[Bobby Shaw]

Don't believe the hype this is a lie,I've been trying to bet there's nothing like that.

[Horus]

Don't believe the hype this is a lie,I've been trying to bet there's nothing like that.

I have been looking for the past hour to put at least $500 down and can not find one betting site that has Mayweather as the underdog...

****ING BULL**** if you asked me...

misinformation

The odds here are posted incorrectly. It's Mayweather who is the favorite, not Pac.
