HATTON VS PACQUIAO BETTING TIPS

4 AM GMT on May 3rd is easily shaping up to be one of the most anticipated hours of the English calendar year with Manchester's Ricky Hatton set to take on the pound for pound best fighter in the world Manny Pacquiao. With the fight getting closer every single day, we're starting to see more money pouring into the online betting markets and this is ensuring that there's fluctuations in the odds nearly every week. As we get closer to the bell, I can see things looking dramatically different than they are at the current point in time. As it stands right now, Pacquiao is listed at the odds-on favourite listed at 2/5. Hatton for the outright victory sits at 7/4 which represents solid value. The bookmakers are obviously favouring Pacquiao on this one, which could prove to be disastrous if Ricky pulls off another exceptional victory. According to the bookmakers, Pacquiao is nearly dead even to win it either on points or via TKO or KO. Both pay out at 7/4. Hatton is favoured to win the fight on points by a very slim margin, listed at 9/2 for the TKO or KO. 4/1 on points. In terms of the round by round betting, Ladbrokes has Manny Pacquiao as long as 50/1 for a first round victory all the way down to 14/1 in the 8th round. Things slim down for Manny considerably in the 7-11 rounds and if he is going to secure a victory it will likely be in those rounds. Hatton drifts down to 33/1 in the 5th round, from a high of 66/1 in the first and last rounds. You can back the fight not to go the distance at 10/11 or you can back the points decision at 4/5.
