I'd take those odds. It's a good deal for betting on PBF.

Excellent decision, the betting line now tighten closer to 7 to 5 still in favor of Pacquiao due to early money on Mayweather.

Huh, I figured it would be Floyd favored but kind of close. Vegas isn't supposed to be basking in the glory of a great performance, maybe they just favor him.

Indeed, if I had a way to get these odds I would grab it right now. Those odds look backwards to me.

Different places (Europe vs. Las Vegas), different odds.

Station Casinos are not the best indicator of Vegas odds as they operate none of the big strip hotels, more the smaller motel like casinos.

The man to watch is Jay Rood, who is in charge of the MGM Grand Sportsbook, & effectively sets the odds for the proper strip casinos. For a human, he's very rarely wrong, he in fact pulled the odds to an even fight after the De La Hoya-Pacquiao weigh-in before making Pac the favourite the following night. These guys examine every little aspect so whoever they make favourite IS the favourite.

Yea, i think he got that.

Well that odds compiler fucked up bigtime.

"All the money came for Floyd." Never!?!... he needs Manny to win to keep his job.

You are misinterpreting the odds that is the payout.

PAC @ +160 (8/5)
PBF @ -160 (5/

means Floyd is the favorite.

Betting odds reflect how much money is going on each fighter, that's it. The odds aren't designed to reflect the actual odds of victory of a person/horse/whatever, they're designed to make the person offering the odds a profit no matter what the result.
