Pacquiao odds-on favourite in January 19
fight with Broner

LLAMADO!
Manny Pacquiao is the bookmakers’ pick to
win in his January 19 fight with American boxer
Adrien Broner in Las Vegas.
The site bookmaker.eu has reported that
opening boxing lines at Bookmaker Sportsbook
put the seasoned Pacquiao (-250 ) versus
Broner ( +210 ).
“The current boxing line has Manny Pacquiao
as the boxing favorite at -250, meaning you
have to risk $250 to win $100,” according to
bookmaker.eu. “Adrien Broner is this fight’s
underdog, that has value at +210, meaning
that for every $100 bet you will win
$210.”
Meantime, oddsshark.com reported
that Pacquiao is the favourite at -300,
meaning a $300 bet for him will win
$100.
“Pacquiao has a lot to lose in this fight
as I believe if he puts in an impressive
performance in this bout against a guy who
was compared to Floyd Mayweather Jr.,
he may get his rematch with Mayweather,
which comes with a big payday,” Scott
Hastings wrote. “On the other side, when
Broner is focused and ready to battle, he
can be very elusive and accurate with his
punches that could carry him to victory.
I think overall, Pac-Man is going to really
pressure Broner and work the body
hoping to keep his offense at bay in the
later rounds.”
Over at sportsbettingdime.com, Ryan
Bolta also cited the same -300 odds for
Pacquiao against Broner.
“These are two boxers that need
victories to keep them on a necessary
path,” Bolta wrote. “Don’t expect either
fighter to enter the ring unprepared.
Broner is slightly taller and much younger,
but Pacquiao has been the busier and
more successful fighter. Your choice of
who will win will boil down to philosophy
and possibly your gut more than anything
else.”
