Even at -263, Manny Pacquiao still seemed worth the price.
Sports Interaction was offering these odds on Pacquiao though it is suggested one should get on this number quick and lock it in since -300 and up is not out of the question as the money really starts rolling in these next couple of days leading up to Saturday's big fight with Miguel Cotto. Some online sportsbooks were already offering a line of -300 in fact.
"-263 may seem steep but this is Manny Pacquiao," said Don Shapiro of Gambling911.com.
The Pacquio vs. Cotto fight is expected to bring in more money than any other fight this year.
Pacquiao said he spends about two months to prepare and condition himself everytime he goes into a fight.
The online sportsbooks continue to lick their chops as a series of major betting events have helped supplement the regular NFL/College Football wagering period.
The New York Yankees facing off against the reigning champion Philadelphia Phillies helped draw even more bettors to this year's MLB World Series than in years past while the Breeders Cup helped boost revenues this weekend, even if a favorite horse (Zenyatta) won. Next weekend will see plenty of additional money flow in on Pacquio vs. Cotto.
