It appears that the sports books are in agreement with many boxing critics as Juan Manuel Marquez has opened up as a huge underdog to Manny Pacquiao.
Pacquiao is currently an 8-to-1 favorite over Marquez.
Even Pacquiao was aghast when told about the odds,
“Grabe naman ‘yan.” (“That’s too much.”)
Pacquiao has been listed as -800, while Marquez is +500, according to sportsbook. Based on this line, an $800 bet on Pacquiao would only win $100, while a measly $100 wager on Marquez would win $500.
Pacquiao vs Marquez III will be fought at a catchweight of 144 pounds on November 12 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Marquez will have to come up in weight to fight Pacquiao this time.
The previous two fights were fought at 125 pounds in 2004 and 130 pounds in 2008. Marquez’s heaviest weight for a fight was 142 pounds when he fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in September 2009.
