Why is Pacman the betting favorite vs. Hatton

he hasn't fought at 140 yet, at the moment it's guesswork.

 

even if he had fought at 140, it would be guesswork.

actually even the winner of a fight is not always the better fighter.

its almost always guesswork

 

true

 

You sound pretty confident that hattong should be the favorite here. If your that sure, maybe its time for you to bet all your earnings on this fight??

 

Pacquiao hasn't lost since the first Morales fight. And he has been taking on top competition. Remember Hatton's comeback fight after he got beat by Mayweather? He looked like he would never be the same. I do think of Hatton comes with the right strategy, he can win this fight. His clinches might actually throw off Pacquiao's rhythm

 

because more people will bet on him
come may 2nd if more people are betting on hatton he will be favourite thats how it works
its not rocket science

 

Actually he looked reasonable, if clearly not at his best, and won comfortably. I'm starting to wonder how many people actually watched that fight.

 

for any of you non bettors out there, the sportsbooks makes the odds based on the money that's being poured in. As of now, early money is on Pacquiao because well, that's where all the money is being bet on. It has nothing to do with who's the better boxer etc.

 

Word,...

Pacquiao makes his bettor and fans not waste money, They have a good time and they get more money.

 

Paulie is whack...I think Pac is the betting favorite cuz IMO hes a better fighter than Hatton...He's also the more logical choice....hatton got rocked by Lazcano...!!!

 

ill be putting some money on this fight, hatton to win at 7/4 and hatton to win in the 8th,9th or 10th at 33/1 per round. pretty good odds

 

One thing everybody learned is that...


Don't ever bet against Pacquiao...

 

Pacquiao has always covered as the underdog. He actually made people lose money during the Pac-Morales I. I believe he was -310 for that fight which was ridiculous given how dangerous Morales was.

Hatton is a very good bet either way.

 

Well for me the ONLY time I lost a bet with my buddies is Pacquiao-Morales II. I bet for Morales at their first encouter, and won 180$....

Since then I only bet for Pacquiao.

 

Anything can happen in boxing but bookies bet on the smart money. Otherwise they wouldn't be bookies for long.

The odds here are influenced by many things including Hatton-Mayweather and Hatton-Lazcano, Oscar-Mayweather, and Oscar-Pac. You figure out what that is telling them. It's not hard.
