    What do you mean paying huge numbers?

    In my home country of New Zealand, a draw is paying $15. I have $75 on a draw, paying a return of $1125...

    Leaning towards Pacquiao, but 5/1 on Thurman to win inside the distance is very generous considering he’s the first elite counterpuncher with good power Pacs fought since JMM, and that was nearly 7 years ago. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Pacs chin getting cracked here.

    I wouldn't take that bet based on pacman's and Thurman's ko record of as late. It could happen but Im almost certain it reaches the scorecards. Plus its risky because you have 1/5 chance of winning that bet compared to picking one of them straight up to win and it's basically a 50/50 coin flip.

    I might put a little play money on the draw myself. I don't see Pacman vs Thurman fighting again but can't rule out the draw. If it reaches the scorecards, I'd be surprised if the winner wins by UD

    Not exactly. But when you think (it doesn't really matter what the odds are) it's a pick 'em fight, always bet on the underdog, yes.

    I agree it's 50-50 it's just a toss up

    It could still change.
    Didn't the Mayweather-Pacquiao odds still changed on the day of the event?
