Why PACQUIAO is the betting favorite against Hatton?

[Howlin Mad Missy]

Greig is right. The betting would be reversed without the Oscar fight.

So.. anyone that believes the Oscar fight flatters Pac - then 2/1 about a Hatton win is a decent bet

Come on the fat pisshead!!!

I think the win flatters him massively no matter how good he looked doing it and before everyone starts yes I know you can only beat the man in front of you. Prime ODH beats Pac easily. ODH must have been nuts to agree to the drop in weight.

Saying that Pac vs Hatton is now a very interesting fight. Hatton has the potential to maul him but Pac does have the speed and often punches from angles. No doubt it'll be a cracking fight.

The odds are based on how bets are placed so that the house will always makes money.

Pacquiao is favored based comparing his last two fights, first by totally dominating Diaz and then total destructing of De la hoya against that of Hatton's loss to Mayweather Jr. his lack of confidence in is outing against Lazcano and win against Malignaggi. And then you compare P4P Ratings Pacquiao is on top of the list. I think another important factor that people consider who to bet on, is Roach vs Mayweather Sr.

Nothing about this fight is going to be easy for eather fighter.... that you can bet on! If eather fighter takes it easy, they are going to get the sh*t knocked out of them.

Hatton had better train hard if he expects to have a chance to use his skill against Pacquiao. And Pacquiao has to train hard to make sure he can survive Hatton's body attacks. There isn't any weight advantage either fight can use in this bout. Both fighters have proven punching power. Pacquiao has a speed and outside boxing advantage while Hatton has the inside boxing advantage. This fight is either a seesaw battle or is one sided one. If Hatton can slow Pacquiao down with good body shots then he can take the fight by OK. If Pacquiao can keep Hatton from getting too close he should be able to out box Hatton and OK by the 10th.

I would expect the odds, as the fight draws near, to get closer than 2:1 due to the camp watch and boxing experts analysis.

I can undertsand why Pac would be the betting favourite by the public but the money may start to shift when people look into it a bit deeper.

I make Ricky favourite and his win will surprise afew people, especially the Yanks. However a win here doesnt make Hatton p4p number 1 just as if John Ruiz beat Jones he wouldnt be p4p number 1

Cheeky twat...I have NEVER had a paper round job and never will.

Pacquiao will school Hatton. Im just not impressed with Hatton. Im not sure why Malinaggi's corner threw in the towl, it wasnt like he was on his way down or anything. If you look at both fighters wins, Pacquiao's wins against Barrera, Morales, JMM, Oscar are much better than i can say for Hatton. Paquiao is faster, has better movement, a better chin, throws combinations, ect... I know people are saying im just basing all of this on the Pacquiao's fight with Oscar but im not. I've watched Pacquiao for a long time and he's superior in skills and heart when you compare him to Hatton. I'm gonna go against the grain and say this will be total annialation!

[deadlypete]

because the way manny glided around the ring against oscar seems to indicate that ricky will have big problems grabbing and holding him and manny just seems to have more arsenal in his pack(footwork lefts rights jab etc)then wat hatton has(grab hold then kiss them to death)

[:::PSL:::]

Those odds will change come fight night

Yep, it always does.

It will drop to 2 to 1.

i agree,pound 4 pound mannys defo got the better skills. so therefore manny should beat him. right. me, im not so sure. i got a little wager on hatton. because he will be the strongest dude manny has ever faced. dont get me wrong ricky will need to be at his best to beat manny. i agree manny should be the betting favourite after his fight with oscar at 147,but u no and i no thats not a good measuring stick to make a judgement on this fight. hatton is a strong mother fukker at 140,plus he never lost at 140, and i hope 4 pacs sake he dont come in this fight under estimating the hitman or he could find himself losin that p4p crown. yeah i said it

Just checked the betting odds today at Ladbrokes and PACQUIAO is installed at -275 odds while Hatton at +200 ...

..... .....

Can you give the reasons why PACQUIAO is the betting favorite? Here's mine...

- PAC has a better resume

- PAC is the no. 1 P4P boxer

- PAC is the no. 1 boxer at 140 lbs. division (according to BoxRec )

Any more?

Bookies also need to protect their asses in the event of either fighter winning.. They may be having a HUGGGE rush of bets on Pac and need to even up the money in the even that Pac wins.. So they are trying to entice people to put money on Hatton... So that could be something to do with it..

[bleuken]

for me he is the favorite because he was "packaged" very well by his promoter and he's been performing well lately on the ring making every fight of Pacman, a real crowd drawer! Aside from that the previous people who lost on their previous bets on Pacman's opponents already realized that they will not earn by pride alone... joke!

Maybe you can slip me a tip on the sly ...

I think i'm going to have a bet on this fight also.. The odds are usually pretty good on predicting a stoppage in a certain round.. I'm not sure which round or actually even which fighter i'll put the money on.. If there is a knockout I don't think it will be early unless one of these fighters just really lets the other hammer the shit out of them... I think both are going to come in with a lot of respect for the other and will be wanting to keep punishment to a minimum, at least during the early rounds..

Those are fantastic odds on a Hatton win. Gambling is illegal out here so I rarely bet on anything, but Im definitely going to send a little bit home and ask good old Mum to place a little bet for me. I think Hatton has a real shot at pulling this one off, those odds are a little bit silly. Its one of those special fights IMO, definitely worth a bet, win or lose.
