The general public doesn't realize that styles make fights! They just bet on whoever has all the momentum of hype going on at the moment! It's very possible for emmanuel to become the betting favorite after his impressive win over marg!
Hopefully Pac is the favourite because my money will be on Floyd. I think the bookies might have Floyd as the slight fav or maybe even.
its that people had their houses on hearns in that fight that he became a last minute favourite, I think at the last moment floyd will be the favourite, if manny becomes the favourite i will put some money down on a mayweather win, that would be good value.
Something like that will happen.... Most of the bets of "momentum", casual fans, and the huge filipino fan base will flood the market with Pacquiao bets....However, the rich bookies/gamblers that know boxing for years in vegas will lay millions on Floyd to even out the odds, making him a slight favorite...
The odds will open up with Mayweather a slight favorite. This may change as the wagers made effect the odds. I think we will see three diffrent kind of betters 1. Smart Money bets on Mayweather he's the better boxer and Pacquiao really has nothing that can match Mayweather. 2. Fan money on Pacquiao and also Mayweather hatters. This can really effect the odds Pacquiao has more fans than Mayweather. Plus add the Mayweather hatters 3. Mayweather fans. There are not many as there as there are of Pacquiao fans. If you are going to bet on Mayweather I would hold off and wait for the last molmet to do so. I think by fight night Pacquiao will be a slight favorite, and you can cash in on the "upset".
i think floyd will be the favorite. i like it when pac is the underdog. i gotta feeling pac will train much harder and will be more focused when he is the underdog.
