Pacquiao Opens As 8-1 Favorite Over Marquez

[ThePrince]

Kind of shocked, I was expecting more so in the neighborhood of 3-1 or 4-1...

MANILA, Philippines — Manny Pacquiao was aghast when told about the odds for his Nov. 12 rubber match with his Mexican nemesis Juan Manuel Marquez.

“Grabe naman ‘yan, (That’s too much),” Pacquao, sounding a bit embarrassed, told the Bulletin on Saturday afternoon from the paradise island of Boracay, where he has been holed up the last week for some much-needed R&R with his family.

Pacquiao has been listed as -800, while Marquez is +500, according to sportsbook. Based on this line, an $800 bet on Pacquiao would only win $100, while a measly $100 wager on Marquez would win $500.

The Pacquiao-Marquez fight will be contested at a catchweight of 145 lbs with the Filipino’s World Boxing Organization welterweight also on the line when they lock horns at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

8-1 is hard to pass up...might have to secretly drop a c-note on the piss drinker in case he pulls it off

Those are not bad odds. Can bet on JMM because despite the weight, its still about styles.

4-1 with most books and it stayed consistent all the way up to the fight, as did the Pacquiao-Mosley odds (8-1).
