How come all professional oddsmakers list Floyd as a fav. against Pacquiao?

fact is you've gotten plenty of good answers.

I've made alot more money than I've lost against the house, and I favour Pac.

 

Well if someone told you you had to bet every single asset you have on this fight.
Who would you bet on??

The obvious answer is PBF. And i know all the *******s are gonna stay loyal possibly homeless if they did that.

 

I'd bet on Pac, and you'd probably be the homeless one.

 

Dumb bet.

I find it hard to believe that you are currently ahead if you always bet with your heart and not your head.

 

I always bet with my head. unless I'm betting peanuts, like James Toney over Randy Couture in that MMA fight.

and I am well ahead.

 

I love Floyd Mayweather. His style is no doubt the smartest in boxing right now besides Hopkins.

And I don't think his potshotting style troubles Pac. Pac has been more troubled by iron chinned agressors who can make him back up a little and throw sick combinations with a good right hand/uppercut attack.

Floyd has always looked more hittable against South paws, especially quick onces, and more troubled by swarmers. He has never fought a left handed swarmer as fast as him, and this is what Pac kind of is. Floyd looks much more hittable than he ever has, and Pac looks much stronger than he ever has.

I think the style favors Pac in this, but the odds should be pretty close to even. It might prove Pac just can't maintain an offense with Floyd's superior ranged technique, but I don't think that's likely. I would bet on Pac. Its footwork and right hand counters versus left handed power swarming, and I think the left handed power swarming is more of an achilles heel for Floyd.

 

He's the more skilled fighter and the better fighter in their opinion, and Vegas odds makers utilize every source possible prior to setting a line, hence the vast majority of experts must agree. They aren't influenced by emotional surface issues, it's the business/job to know all their is to know, because if they **** up they are losing a lot of someone elses money and in their line of work that can be hazardous to your health.

 

Well i cant wait to see the thread after the fight happens and hear you *******s complain about a robbery.

If you do bet on Pac i doubt it would be the house like i said. No one is that stupid.

 

Lol...do you know anything about "oddsmakers" what the process consists of, how you get to be one, etc? Do they aren't going by "common boxing logic", they are going by where people are going to bet. They know that more money if the fight happened today, is going to be bet on Floyd, because they find that kind of **** out. Why would more money be bet on Floyd, when it's obvious Manny is the far more popular fighter, because those that bet for a living, those that bet serious amounts of cash are going to bet on Floyd. Those who bet this kind of money do their homework and know things about these guys that we will never know. Bottom line, Vegas can be wrong and this doesn't mean a lot in the grand scheme of things, but to act like these guys are just "going through the motions and picking PBF because it's the easier pick" is just grossly off base.

 

He is seen as the better fighter but pac has surprise many doubters in the last couple of years.

 

marquez drew vs pacquaio because of his good counter-punching abilities. floyd is an even better counter-puncher than marquez. floyd wins a decision vs pacquaio.

 

Pac should be favourite IMHO

 

Oddsmakers installed Floyd as the slight favorite due to his reach and size advantage over Pacquiao.

I'm still putting my money on PAC. He defied bigger odds (4 to 1, 2 to 1) in the past and I believe he can do it again.

I'm not worried at all if PAC becomes a slight underdog against Floyd.
