Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: Heavy Betting on Manny in Vegas

Bastards. Screwing up my payout when Manny KO's Floyd.

[SergioMartinez]

Damn, I might ACTUALLY make some money betting on Floyd now.

I'm all for it.

They should consider Floyd's home advantage.

Al Haymon, the ref, judges, and 99% of boxing journalists will be on Floyd's side.

Besides, Floyd is a much bigger man with a long reach advantage.

Manny Pacquiao is the better fighter, but he's up against it here.

Too bad they're not taking food stamps, floyd would be a 40 to 1 favorite

Al Haymon??? Bob Arum is way more powerful than Al Haymon, atlest in my opinion.

if anything I think Floyd is the one in trouble.

He looks more past prime than Pacquiao, legs are not what they use to be.
Pac has the better punching power, with explosive combinations.

Plus I think the Judges actually might feel required to give Pac the benefit of the doubt due that so many hate Floyd Mayweather.

I got angry after I got 18-1 on a draw when just 5 days earlier it was 22-1.

I really think I'm right. This fight is a cross between Leonard-Duran I and Duran-Benitez.

Pacquiao equals Duran in both occasions. Duran beat Leonard and Benitez beat Duran. They cancel each other out. Draw.

Pac is the value bet at 3-1 and 7-1 for a decision, when u consider its going to be a close fight that's worth a bet. Once the odds even up a bit people will start to back Floyd.

The draw at 23-1 is worth a go too imo.

[SlySlickSmooth]

doesnt shock me one bit.

Flomos like to talk but cant put that money up but cant really blame them they aint got a penny to their name.

how would they not have money? if they were so confident just placing $50 on Floyd you would of had winnings earned. Floyd hasn't lost, so if any ***** bet on him they made money being a ***** so far.

This is good news for people that have alway wanted to bet on Mayweather but can't because he is alway an overwhelming favourite.

Anyone with half a brain is going to wait till the very last second to bet Mayweather for this exact reason. The publics perception (the casuals) are throwing this line all out of wack if the people who are looking to drop big money on Floyd do so now they are selling themselves short they will continue to get better odds as the fight date nears...

Trust me people will bet Floyd and when they do they will bet big...
People would've gladly put up big money on Floyd @-300 or -200 because that still sounded like value. Getting even money on Floyd or god forbid Floyd is the dog? Lol A GIFT FROM GOD coming from a gamblers perspective...

This is absolutely correct. Its called letting the ****** money in. I am not implying that pac doesn't have a chance but the big sports betters will by and large be going with Floyd and want the best odds.

In stocks at times, the short sellers (people who bet against a stock) and option traders) who often short stocks, are more than happy to let the herd buy shares of a stock on the ropes...so they can short the stock and make a killing.
