Might be a bit better understanding of the way the odd s have gone in this article Superb.

Pretty much what we've all been saying to be honest.

Rules are the same with gloves buddy, have been for a while. One of the contract stips is who gets to pick gloves first etc etc.

Dig out the Barrera Documentary, read up on the Maidana issue and you might just learn something.

It is clear you don't have a clue

Prove it

Guys I asked for a sensible article here. I want this to be the article on this board where we have sensible debate about this fight.

If you want a mud slinging argument then take it to any of the other articles

Who's mud slingin?

Well these arguments usually descend into that on other articles and it's getting pretty tiring to be honest.

This is my article and I decide what goes and what doesn't.

Sensible and constructive debate only please.

Your wishing aren't you Superb, it'll always go off track at some point. It's an emotive subject for some people.

But back on track with the odds.D4 posted something on the other article that made me think.Don't odds change depending on how much people put on?

I'm the Sheriff in this town

You look more like a chef

I agree it's clearly a very emotive subject, especially on this board.

But there's a line between good debate and people just getting angry and abusive.

If I think that line is getting crossed (and I'm around) then I'll step in.

There really is so much interesting debate and ground to cover on this fight it's a shame to spoil it.

Yes they do. It's possible that a lot of people put a shed load of money on Floyd when this fight was announced which would have shortened the odds.

Again I'm not a betting expert but pretty sure that's how it goes

Fair enough, for my part i'll try and reign it in a bit, but will call out if people are posting crap too.

D4,
I've not bet for a long while and have never been great with odds, that personal piece did make me think about it though.
Floyd might just be a major favourite at the moment due to the flurry of bets on him now, I imagine it will change quite a bit coming up to the fight.

That's exactly what it is

I was looking for a police symbol or something with authority. All I found was the chef

Well it explains the odds being so heavily in Floyd's favour at the moment.

Maybe we'll now get a flurry of bets on Manny which would swing the odds back a bit.

I think the odds are an over reaction to the Marquez KO. Manny made a mistake and walked onto one big punch, that doesn't have much of a baring on this fight.

The smart money seems to be going on Pacquiao.

He has come in from 5/2 to 9/4 new, haven't put my bet on yet. Lost some winnings already though.

Khan is about the same odds to beat Mayweather as Pacquiao is.

Read into that what you will.
