Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao betting odds favor Floyd
It didn’t take sportsbooks long to start taking bets on the fight once the May 2 bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao was officially announced Friday. And the early odds have the undefeated champion favored over the Filipino.
Pregame.com’s R.J. Bell had Mayweather as a -250 favorite and Pacquiao as a +200 underdog, meaning you would get 2:1 odds on him.
Sportsbook.com has Mayweather as nearly a 1:3 favorite at -290, with Pacquiao at +230.

I always said that if the two fought I would favor Floyd and figure him to win, but I really think Pac-Man has a great shot to win. He has been dynamite in his last two bouts.
