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.
