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.
