Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao is Ready: I Love Being The Underdog!

If Floyd loses then he loses.

Exactly. Floyd losing to Pac is not worse then them not fighting at all. Yeah he would get clowned by the media, detractors, etc for a bit... only natural since he rubs a lot of people the wrong way. But in the end it would be only 1 loss vs 47 wins in a HOF career. Neither guy losing affects their legacies negatively, obviously winning enhances one. But the worst thing possible would've been them retiring with that lingering doubt.

You guys are so witless that you can't even tell when I'm joking and throwing a jab Manny only winning if Floyd is hungover. I have absolutely no doubt that Pacquiao is getting beat by Mayweather. I've never changed my tune.

You have absolutely no doubt? You should put up everything you own, empty your bank account and bet it all on Mayweather then.

Easy money.

Make sure you post the betting slip so we all know how much richer you're gonna be on May 2nd

Scorecards and most likely a controversial decision. But supposedly, the agreement is only for one fight. No rematch clause.

Yet remember all the backlash over bradley's poster for his rematch with Pacquaio. If you are going to have a moment to pull a fast one on the public perhaps advertising a chance for a second fight wouldn't be the best of strategies. Regardless of the outcome of the fight on may 2nd there will be a rematch, too much money to be made. Both men stand to make nearly half a billion dollars if not more from a trilogy.

I'm of the opinion that if Floyd loses to Pacquiao, it could be the best thing for him. There's no shame in losing to that caliber a fighter and Floyd would have the opportunity to have the kind of character redemption Tyson had after losing to Lewis. A little humility helps everyone.

Please spare me the race card. Two smoked hypejobs in 6 happened to be Filipinos that's it. I have a lot of admiration and respect for Filipinos and some Filipinos (and even here in BoxingS) would agree with me about Manny and Nonito so fuck your weak a$$ race card.

You are so full of sht if someone in same room as you coughs, sht will pour out your ears. You're signature is obvious as hell, especially since at least one of those guys is not a hype job. Nice try.

ESPN is reporting that virtually all of the early action on the fight was placed on Manny in one sports book.

The early action has been light, touristy and almost all on the underdog, the books said. Ninety-four percent of the money that had been bet at William Hill was on Pacquiao. A $1,000 bet on Pacquiao was the biggest William Hill had taken as of Friday. The majority of bets, though, were much smaller, and came mostly from recreational bettors who were in town for other events like the Super Bowl.

I know it was small, light bets so far... but 94% seems ridiculously high? Guess it makes sense seeing as how the payout is much higher for a Manny win.

Pacquiao fully stepped up to welter in November 2009, and in 18 months he cleaned up the division and made Floyd take another ducking vacation

Cleaned up the WW divison? Manny never became the Lineal Champion at 147.

Johnmis... was saying that at another book 90% of the money was coming in on Floyd. I was really surprised. He said he expects later money to come in on Manny.

I assumed this would be the case with Floyd at 3-1. I think Vegas is gonna make a killing when Floyd wins.

Right there in your signature loud and clear. Cant hide from that. You don't even qualify as a closet hater, it is too obvious.
