The odds in glitzy Las Vegas are so out of whack that you’d think Manny Pacquiao will answer the bell toting a pistol against Joshua Clottey this weekend in Dallas.
Latest odds from Sin City has Pacquiao -800 and Clottey +550, meaning an $800 wager on the Filipino will only win a paltry $100, while a $100 bet on the Ghanaian will win $550, according to Texas-based physician Allan Recto, who informed Manila-based scribes about the latest propositions.
When this fight was announced a little over two months ago, Pacquiao was immediately installed a 4-1 favorite to stave off Clottey’s challenge owing to his sensational wins over Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto. — Nick Giongco
