Comments Thread For: Thurman To Bet On Himself Beating Pacquiao By 1st-Round KO

[byTKO]

Seriously guys. What do you want him to do? Just sit there and bow down? Now the odds is against him. Plus he's feeling that crowd more and more

If it is proven that they bet on behalf of a fighter for that fighter to lose and the fighter loses-they won't collect anything because that is illegal.

That proven part is tricky.

Thurman waiting so he can get paid

By betting against himself and having someone place the bet, he wins' two ways plus he don't have to fight Spence or Crawford after losing to an old man!

This is Thurman's clever way of trying to pump up PPV buys...he ain't betting a dime with KO odds...he should bet the sure thing, fight won't do 200K PPV views!!

Is this was baseball Thurman would not be allowed into the HOF (Pete Rose principle).

Thurman is delusional. I've watched a couple interviews of him mouthing off, and one with both guys face to face. Manny basically just laughs at the guy.

Even at 40 Manny wins this one, even if, ESPECIALLY if, Run Time Thurman gets up on his bicycle for most of the fight.

It is illegal to bet on yourself lose.

Ahhh see I did not know this.

If its not done by a half-wit - sure. I hope Thurman's trainer won't bet $1m to lose to Manny by KO with Thurman then losing to Manny by KO

If cheating were easy, everyone would be doing it

I don't think anything shady is going take place. The better man will win.
