FLOYD MAYWEATHER VS MANNY PACQUIAO LATEST ODDS RELEASED AS SPECULATION MOUNTS

 

It looks like the Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight is either going to be announced shortly or it may not happen at all, as Pacquiao has declared a return to the ring on November 13th- it's just a matter of who he's facing. In a recent interview, world-class trainer Freddy Roach declared that the possibility of facing Miguel Cotto for the second time in eight months was also on the table- this time at 154 pounds. 

American boxer Paulie Malignaggi has also attracted headlines by declaring that there is no way Pacquiao could get through Mayweather if strict drug-testing was enforced. It could be sour grapes from the New York-based pugilist but the mere fact that people are out there talking about the fight gives some credence to the idea that it may actually take place, despite Floyd Mayweather declaring a temporary "retirement" to focus on his non-profit organization and his boxing gym. 
If the fight is to happen on the 13th of November it would need to be agreed shortly as events of this magnitude require months or training and organization.
A number of popular bookmakers have released odds on the fight already with many promising to refund bets if the proposed superfight doesn't actually happen this year. 
Floyd Mayweather is at an odds-on price to win the fight with Centrebet Sports pricing him at 1.72 for a victory by any method. Manny Pacquiao's odds to win are just higher than evens with a 2.05 listing. 
Mayweather is favoured to win by decision, which pays out at 2.75, with Pacquiao nearly dead-even in the method of victory betting with a 3.5 price for a decision and a 3.75 listing for a KO or TKO victory. Mayweather to knockout Manny Pacquiao is listed at 4.0. 
The fight is definitely favoured to go the distance, giving the slight edge to Mayweather, with the over/under on rounds set at 11.5. The under is priced at 2.2 while the over trades at 1.63. 
Should a KO or TKO actually happen, you can lock in some stupendous odds on the round betting with Pacquiao favoured for the KO or TKO. He's at 26.0 to win rounds 4-10 with a 34.0 price in rounds 2, 3, 11 and 12. He is 41.0 for a dramatic first round KO or TKO victory. Could you imagine the reaction to that?
Mayweather is 51.0 to KO or TKO Pacquiao in the first round and I actually think the internet would implode on itself if that actually happened as the trolling would get so out of hand. He's 41.0 for rounds 2, 3 and 12 with a 34.0 price on rounds 3, 4 and 11. He's 29.0 for rounds 6-10. 
The draw pays out at 21.0 and you sort of get the feeling this is one of the few fights where that's actually plausible. If it did go ahead the judges might even score the thing right down the middle to set up a rematch. Stranger things have happened...
I think we'd all rather see Mayweather vs Pacquiao than Pacquiao vs Cotto, regardless of what your thoughts are on either of these divisive fighters. If you had $100 to wager on this one- where's the best value?
