FLOYD MAYWEATHER VS MANNY PACQUIAO LATEST ODDS NEARLY DEAD-EVEN

It looks like we're creeping closer to the most widely-anticipated fight in recent boxing history. The Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao bout will pit the two best fighters of their generations against each other in an intriguing duel that pits defensive counter-punching against power and handspeed. It's a battle for the purists and it looks like one that boxing novices will likely enjoy as well. 

I can't really remember a fight that has polarized opinions more than this one and it seems like there are very few boxing fans that haven't taken a distinct viewpoint on this one. 
European bookmakers continue to list odds on this fight even though it hasn't actually been confirmed yet. The latest whispers by those connected to both camps are all positive and it looks like both camps are trying to make this one happen. 
The drug-testing issue is likely to be as divisive as ever, but I think this time it will be written up in the original fight agreement so that we won't see the contest derailed any further. Something's gotta give in that respect as it really appears to be the last roadblock. 
For those looking to get a bet down on this massive fight right now, there are a few sites with odds currently available. Popular UK bookmaker BetFred is declaring Floyd Mayweather to be the favourite to win the fight by any means, but it is not a convincing margin at all- there is really very little between the two fighters. 
Manny Pacquiao's odds to beat Floyd Mayweather are listed at an even-money price by Betfred while Mayweather is listed at an odds-on price of 5/6 to win by any means. You can also back a draw between the two fighters at 28/1 and, though I always advise against taking the draw, it may actually not be a bad bet this time out though I encourage you to keep your wager small. 
The method of victory betting isn't available but I think it will likely have Mayweather at around 3/1 to win by KO or TKO and he will probably be listed at around 11/8 to win by decision. Manny Pacquiao will likely be priced at 5/2 to win by KO or TKO and 7/2 to win on points. These odds are not official, they are merely speculation and should offer up some food for thought. 
I think that it's going to be a real crapshoot about who wins this one, but you can count on the boxing world being deeply divided about who is the better fighter.
