strange that the betting would be different in america. you can bet on mayweather vs pacquaio with hills, corals, ladbrokes, 888sport, skybet, bluesq, betfred, boylesport and bet365 in the uk. mayweather is the favourite with every single one of them.

best prices: 8/13 mayweather, 8/5 pacquaio.

Casinos, I guess.

I'd wait and see what weight the fight is made at before I put any money down.

I agree, there are bound to be allsorts of weird and wonderfull stipulations in the contract from both sides in hope of creating an advantage.

Why do things have to be so difficult? 50/50 and 147 sounds fine to me?

Sounds good to me, too.

Seems fair enough doesn't it seeing as both fighters are comfortable at the weight and both milionaires stand to bevome millionaires many times over again. Hard to see a real problem.

I wouldnt say Floyd has a history of creating an advantage through stipulations with regards to winning the fight but he might try and negotiate the most $$$$

Hes bound to after his last performance.

Its the age old thing with Boxing betting. If you want good odds then jump on it before the fights actually made.

Once the fights made and fight night nears you get a lot more even odds. After all this is the sport where one punch can change everything.

Manny might demand the fight at 145. Or he might come up with some other demand, just to rub in his P4P #1 status and show who's boss. Negotiations are about getting what you want and where possible, aggravating your opponent

I still think it should be 60-40 for the winner...

Agree entirely.

50/50 split at 147. Winner is the P4P #1 (Manny is #1 at the moment imo) and guarantees themself a place in the top 10 fighters (top 5 imo) of all time.

The only thing i would want to see is none of this "ill make the weight I promise and if I dont ill bung you a few quid" like last time.

Make the agreed weight or no fight.

Pac made 144 for the Cotto fight so hopefully they agree to 147 as it will likely be for the welterweight title then after the fight they can either rematch (if pac wants beat again ) or just retire.

Theres no one bigger left for them to face after that lol
