    If so, how much and what line?

    I'm probably going to bet on DLH to win overall as i'm not sure if he'll win via KO or decision. Probably $1,000.

    i've been riding the pac wave for years now. he has paid for half of my vacation expenses everytime i hit vegas for his fights.. normally he's always a 3 to 1 favorite but bottom line is i always won.

    i dont give a fu*k if he's a major underdogg. :cool: i'm still riding with him.

    $500 on pac by decision. :smoke

    Your avatar is a beautiful thing. :good

    Secondly, no. I only bet on fights like Margarito vs Cotto, and Hopkins vs Pavlik. They got the odds horribly wrong in those fights, especially the latter. They just giving money away, Margarito was always a live opponent against Cotto because of styles. However, Oscar will be favourite and for a good reason. Pacquiao isn't big enough to beat Oscar, who still has plenty in the tank.

    Honestly a safe bet would be Oscar but to dump tons of money of "If You Have It" on Pac I wouldn't do. Some of you need to realize that Oscar fought as high as 160lbs and fought with some of the best fighters of the world. Oscar has all the advantages over Pacman except speed. I honestly can't see Manny winning but if he does props to him but make sure some of you people analyze the fight before you bet crazy amount of money.

    I am not sure how much I will bet yet, but I am sure Pacquaio will win.

    How often does De La Hoya fight southpaws? I think Pacquaio's big left will be finding the much older De La Hoya all night. Pacquaio will get out quickly after every left. He is young enough, and De La Hoya is old enough for this to happen. If they were fighting at a weight higher, I might go with De La Hoya then. Certain that Pacquaio will win.

    Del will put 100% of his Net Worth on Pacquaio if he is half the business man he claims to be.

    The more i read this board, the more i'm weary of putting down $1,000 on DLH. I don't know if people are just buying into the hype with the 24/7s and sportswriters saying it will be competitive but there seems to be a good amount of people thinking he will win. The funny thing is, when the fight was first announced, 95% of all people were outraged and thought it was a joke. But now that the fight is less than 2 weeks away, some of these same people think it's going to be competitive.

    What gives?

    in people's minds here, dlh will most probably win. but deep down, they want pac to win instead. they're probably betting that pac can do the unthinkable. time and again, pac has proven he can deliver even under great adversity. pac does fight better when he's the underdog. and it also doesn't hurt that the pay-out for a pac win is much bigger. just don't bet your house or life savings on this fight for EITHER guy.

    You also notice that after the 2 24/7 shows, they never go indepth about the huge difference in size. I wonder why. They really make it sound like it's two guys in the same weight class going at it for the most part.
