Last time I checked a Floyd win was -200. Not great but not as huge of a favorite as I thought it would be.

floyd opened up at -300 at some spots but then again it depends on where you getting the odds from. imo, if you putting money on pac, do it NOW! if you putting bread on floyd, wait until fight night. it wouldn't surprise me to see floyd come down to -150.

in terms of betting on boxing; betting on the favorite overall is the safest bet. However will get you the least in terms of betting wins. if youre going to bet on the favorite then you better do it as a prop bet or as a parlay on other bet(s).

Draws in boxing yield the most in terms of any bets possible typically; a small bet can yield a lot of money if you hit it

How can we realistically talk about payoffs without discussing official betting lines?

http://www.predictem.com/boxing/pacquiao-mayweather-preview-and-pick.php
Mayweather: -240
Pacquiao: +210

http://www.vegasinsider.com/boxing/odds/futures/
Mayweather: -210
Pacquiao: +170

http://www.oddsshark.com/boxing/mayweather-vs-pacquiao-betting-odds
Mayweather: -210
Pacquiao: +170

http://sports.bovada.lv/sports-betting/boxing-lines.jsp
Mayweather: -210
Pacquiao: +170

You can check each site for other available betting lines such as win by ko, win by ko in round X etc.

I personally don't think Manny has a chance, so I think the payoff for a Floyd win is pretty good. Considering (using the numbers from above) that for every 210 dollars wagered on Floyd, one wins $100, a 38% increase in money. If you bet $1000 then you stand to win 476.19 - (whatever the transaction fees are). I think that's a good look.

If you think Manny will win then pretty much any bet is a good bet. Wagering 100 gets you 210, about a 70% increase.

Who do you think will win?

Always bet on Pacman, you ain't getting paid if Floyd wins.
Go for it and bet on a Pacman KO.

Why are you telling that man to waste his money? When have you seen Floyd close to being stopped, he take take a punch and has great recovery. If you're going to bet be smart like the breh @patscorpio and throw money down on the draw. :whew:
