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

[Left Hook Tua]

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.

You still would want him as the underdog to get the odds up even in his favor come fight night.

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

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.

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're right they arent as big as names as those guys BUT pac is fighting these young top welters in his 40's!

Underdog maybe among writers, fight experts

Not betting wise though, he was slight favorite betting wise

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.
