JMM was universally regarded as the # 2 P4P fighter at the time he fought Floyd. And Floyd was coming off an almost 2 year layoff. So that could explain why he had better odds than Mosley. But as always after Floyd beat JMM, it was quickly discredited for various reasons by the haters.
Mayweather-Marquez Odds => 3:1...Mayweather-Mosley Odds => 4:1. WTF?!

The online polls have Floyd at 57/43 and some are as close as 52/48.
They should play up how alot of people think that Mosley can not only win but knock Floyd out and do the same to Pac. They can find atleast one expert to say that and that would not only change the odds but make the fight bigger because then mainstream fans & media would ask that question to other people and they would be like "well Shane is definitely capable of beating both Floyd & Pac, He is on that elite level and truly is the #1 WW"
But when it comes to putting money down, it is all going Mayweather's way.Comment

They will get closer once the fight gets closer. Give it a week we shall see. I would be shocked if they stayed this wide.Comment

The gamblers dont set the odds by what they think. They set it by what the public thinks and they know that in big fights, there will be alot of mainstream people betting and all they know right now is Floyd & PacComment

I don't know about this Forum but in most other forums before PBF vs JMM, Mayweather had about 85-90% of people who thought he would win it. Alot of people even thought he would be able to get a KO which turned out wrong.JMM was universally regarded as the # 2 P4P fighter at the time he fought Floyd.

I think if the odds on Marquez were relatively close it was because he was the only elite Mexican fighter at the time which surely brought out alot of Dineros on their boy. Hatton also had that kind of backing with the brits who are generally huge gamblers.
Mosley doesn't have that kind of demographic backing.Last edited by PH|L; 04-19-2010, 06:40 PM.Comment
