    "Smart Money" Favored Pacquiao Hours Before Bout



    LAS VEGAS - Oscar De La Hoya-Manny Pacquiao Fight Diary:

    6:15 p.m. - Walk into the MGM Race and Sports Book Saturday night, and I'm stunned to find out the money is pouring in on Pacquiao, as De La Hoya is now down to being a 7 1/2 to 5 favorite.

    He opened 2 to 1, and I would have made it at least 4 to 1. Does everyone know something I don't know? Is De La Hoya so far past his prime that he can't beat a guy half his size? Has he really lost it, as Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, has been claiming?
    I wonder what tipped them off? Who could've seen the beatdown that was coming, experts and casual observers alike? I sure as hell didn't see it coming.
