Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is Blowing up the Sportsbook!!!

The fight may still be a dream, but the sharps are already laying down real money on who would win at the BetUS Sportsbook.

In an unprecedented maneuver, the still-pending super bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao has already opened up on BetUS for fans of online boxing betting to wager on. And of course, the opening lines have already created plenty of buzz within the sports community.

Mayweather opens as the early favorite on BetUS boxing odds at -165, while Pacquiao is a slight underdog at +125.

After the two future hall of famers posted dominant victories in their last outings, the only logical matchup remaining for either one of them seems to be against one another. Upon destroying Juan Manuel Marquez, Mayweather was called out by Shane Mosley, however the public interest simply wasn't there.

The boxing betting community simply could not see a reason why “Money May” would take on anyone other than the best after dismantling the No. 5 pound for pound fighter in the world according to Ring Magazine.

So after Pacquiao brutalized Miguel Cotto in a 12th round knockout, fans had a similar issue. Is it plausible for the Pac Man to take a step back and face Edwin Valero? Or a rematch with Juan Manuel Marquez?

The resounding answer amongst sports betting sharps was of course, no.

Just two years ago, due to weight differential and a feud between Top Rank promoter Bob Arum (who handles Pacquiao) and Floyd Mayweather, this match was an absolute impossibility. But as of earlier in the week, both Mayweather, Arum, and HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg had all agreed to bury the hatchet and negotiate this bout, due to immense public demand.

Now that fans have been pacified, they can debate who would win this contest. Will it be the undefeated Mayweather, who has defeated everyone with style, grace and relative ease, or Pacquiao who has destroyed his opponents in seven different weight classes, and who has orchestrated a run never seen in boxing history?

The oddsmakers favor the larger, untouched Mayweather, who seemingly has less wear on his tires, and is also likely to have the majority of the leverage in the negotiations. Being as he will largely negotiate on his own (with his pal Leonard Ellerbe in his corner), he will naturally make the right demands to favor him in the proposed bout.

While the fans may have to wait a little while before the two greatest fighters of this generation get in the squared circle, the drama unfolding on the boxing lines, and in the boardrooms is satisfactory entertainment for the time being!
