Manny Pacquiao and Keith Thurman in Advanced Talks For A July Showdown

Hope Pacquaio gets set as the betting favourite because then that's massive money to be made on Thurman. Thurman got this in the bag

SOURCES: Manny Pacquiao and Keith Thurman are in advanced talks for a pay-per-view welterweight title showdown that’s being targeted for July 13. No deal yet but it’s expected to be completed #boxing— Mike Coppinger (@MikeCoppinger) April 1, 2019 No surprise, and I'm sure we will get Spence/Porter unification bout a little after that. Winners face off late 2019 or early 2020? If not, then hopefully Crawford vs Spence/Porter winner in early 2020. That came out on April fools......I'm not taking that info at face value.

The writing is clearly on the wall. Spence just fought in front of almost 50k people vs garcia. The money fight for pac right now is spence aside from floyd which isnt happening. So why fight thurman for way less money? Ill tell u why, Team pac understands he has no shot to win vs spence and since thurman is under al, its the smart move by team pac because he actually has a chance to win the fight vs thurman and again no shot vs spence. This doesnt surprise me at all. Smart business decision by team pac And you came with this all by yourself. Fyi...Spence is no more of a money fight than Thurman or Broner is. Pacquaio is the one that brings the money and if Al Haymon see that fight as the one to make and he makes it, Pac will simply oblige. All this nonsense about people ducking Spence is more of a myth. The guy just fought freaking Mikey Garcia. Pac will do way much better than Garcia and am not one to believe it is this massacre that you all want to make it out to be. Even at 40, Pac holds his own and will have a lot of moments.

was manny an underdog vs cotto? Underdog maybe among writers, fight experts Maybe Not betting wise though, he was slight favorite betting wise

We need hardcore gambler in here. Wheres jerck? When was the last fight aside from Mayweather where pac was underdog? Delahoya? was manny an underdog vs cotto?

Wouldn't add much tbh Porter, Thurman, Spence None of them has the name recognition of cotto, delahoya, Barrera, Morales, etc. Maybe Spence is the only one of the 3 with hof chance. And that's assuming a lot more work and staying on top a lot longer. Which is not certain. You're right they arent as big as names as those guys BUT pac is fighting these young top welters in his 40's!

Huh I think itd be opposite Have pac favored and get Thurman some money on him Pac will get bets no matter what Pac's supporters are going to bet big on him. You make him as the slight underdog and even more people back him to the point he is the favorite come fight night. All the money will be thrown at him. And casinos make out well if that happens and then Thurman wins the actual fight.

You still would want him as the underdog to get the odds up even in his favor come fight night. Huh I think itd be opposite Have pac favored and get Thurman some money on him Pac will get bets no matter what

Damn man...Pacs resume is DEEEEPPP. Imagine if he fights porter and spence after thurman goddd damn!

Even if Vegas thinks pacman will lose.... pac will still be betting favorite. Too much money gets put on pacman. Especially casuals. You still would want him as the underdog to get the odds up even in his favor come fight night.

I think they will set the odds with Thurman as the slight favorite. But they set the odds usually closer than what they really are because they know Pacquiao's backers are going to bet crazy for him. That is the explanation they used to have him only a +350 against Spence. Even if Vegas thinks pacman will lose.... pac will still be betting favorite. Too much money gets put on pacman. Especially casuals.

Damn man...Pacs resume is DEEEEPPP. Imagine if he fights porter and spence after thurman goddd damn!

Thurman has been hurt at least 2-3 times to the body...and in each of those situations he was hurt to the point of nearly being KO'd Pac has underrated body punches too He hurt a lot of ppl to the body He just doesnt do it enough

This doesnt surprise me at all. Smart business decision by team pac so why fight thurman then? if that's the case, shouldnt pac be asking for a b-c level guy?

I love Pacman, it was around his peak I turned from a casual into a hardcore fan and he played his part, but it's Thurman's time now mang. #1 baby Lockey baby Thurman's time? Thurman's ass will retire before pacman

Thurman has been hurt at least 2-3 times to the body...and in each of those situations he was hurt to the point of nearly being KO'd Agreed, i know they say "Boxers" don't like it to the body. But damn! Thurman literally can't take a body shot. If Pac gets to his body then i can see him stopping keif..

Smart business decision by team pac Wind the clock back and Manny was all over Thurman as soon as Keith looked like crap in his return fight, smart business is an after thought, picking the easiest title fight was priority, the money fight is Spence but they know they lose that and have a chance to beat Thurman, but they also can get the back fire effect as Keith gets motivated and gives him boxing lesson. I bet Keith studies Floyds blue print like a surgeon watching another show how, just keep turning him and control range with a long reachy jab. I feel Thurman will out box Manny and that the higher class and bigger fighter will show Mannys has been fighting B+ level guys to get here.

I'll gladly post a picture of my betting stub if it's close to even money. Pacquiao is ALL WRONG for Thurman. Thurman likes to pitter patter punch and move. He did it against Lopez, Collazo, Danny, and Porter. And Lopez and Collazo both severely hurt Thurman to the point of flat-out running away...and that was BEFORE he went on sebatical. Pacquiao, even at his advanced age, will get to Thurman and will hurt him. Pac has the veteran craftsmanship to finish an injured fighter. Also, Keith doesn't have much of a chin. He's been on queer street a handful of times in his career and was only able to finish because of how bad/limited his opponents were. I'll gladly collect money from people like you though :smashfrea :smashfrea :smashfrea Would be happy if ur right, i love pacman. Good luck with ur bets buddy
