Get your Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto fight odds now at Bookmaker.com.
During this week's visit to the Bookmaker.com offices Gambling911.com was advised that a line had been posted on the much anticipated fight, though Pacquiao is hardly the big favorite many had anticipated.
Manny Pacquiao was currently listed with odds of -250 at Bookmaker.com.
"There is value in that line," claims Don Shapiro of Gambling911.com. "We expect heavy action to cause that number to inflate even further as the fight date nears."
Cotto would pay out $200 for every $100 bet.
Odds have been posted despite word that this fight is not necessarily a "done deal".
P.H. Burbridge of East Side Boxing:
"We were led to believe by Bob Arum that this showdown was a done deal and that November 14th was all systems "go". I think most of us just assumed it would be for Cotto's WBO title so to find out that the title wasn't even part of the initial discussion is a bit puzzling. My question is why would Manny Pacquiao fight Miguel Cotto if the title wasn't on the line? I thought the whole point of him moving up in weight was to make history so I'm a little surprised that this is even being discussed at this juncture. It should have been ironed out right when these talks began. Bob Arum is acting puzzled about all this in the press but he must have known that the lack of a title belt had the potential to upset Pacquiao. AND, from Team Pacquiao's perspective why wasn't this addressed earlier? Arum and Pacquiao's advisors were going back and forth for weeks on the terms of this deal before Manny accepted it on principal so how could this have been overlooked? Isn't that why you guys came to the table in the first place?"
While there is plenty of time to bet on the Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto fight, odds should be locked in immediately just in case the line fluctuates heavily over the next few months, which we think it probably will. If the fight does not go off, all bets are scratched and money placed on the fight is refunded of course.
