You are misinterpreting the odds that is the payout.

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

means Floyd is the favorite.
Is that so? The USA Today article clearly mentioned Pacquiao as an 8-5 favorite over Mayweather.

"Pacquiao, coming off his dominating win over Miguel Cotto, opened as an 8-5 favorite at sports books operated by Station Casinos"
