Respect your boxing opinion valdosta, so I ask why the line is "wrong?"

I think he means the opener. They were wrong making him a +110 dog... and now it's where it should be...

Re: What was Pinnacle thinking on Mayweather-Pacquiao....
Floyd never should have been the underdog that's absurd. Pacquiao has a few traits that could trouble Floyd but no way he should have been fav.

Opener was a joke, still not quite where it should be but it's close.

Re: What was Pinnacle thinking on Mayweather-Pacquiao....
I love talking about this potential blockbuster fight. It'll definitely be a war... but Pacquiao failed to knockdown the older Marquez in their last fight. I can't see Mayweather going down at all with his impeccable defense. And, he's shown he can take a punch when caught off guard. Mosley hit him with a tremendous uppercut (I think it was) in the 2nd round of their fight, but Mayweather weathered the storm, and put on a boxing clinic.
Pacquaio showed he has trouble with counter-punching, and Floyd is one of the best.

Fuck those cockteasers. It's a joke they still won't fight.
I'd lay -175 on May...

Re: What was Pinnacle thinking on Mayweather-Pacquiao....
You're probably right, but that's what I made my line right after the Marquez-Pacquiao fight.
BTW, what do you think about the Cotto-Margarito fight this weekend, Valdy?

Re: What was Pinnacle thinking on Mayweather-Pacquiao....
It's to hard to predict because of Margarito's fucked up looking eye. Not to mention I don't know if the first result happened because he had loaded gloves the first time. Tough fight to call because of uncertainties.

Re: What was Pinnacle thinking on Mayweather-Pacquiao....
Better than if Pacquiao had destroyed Marquez. I think Pac's close call opened everyone's eyes, that's why they are negotiating again.

Yes and no. Margarito was taking some shots, even in the latter rounds of the fight, and he kept on coming. So Cotto didn't really hurt him.
It would've been nice to hit the Over (for this fight) sooner.

Re: What was Pinnacle thinking on Mayweather-Pacquiao....
Yeah and he busted up Cotto really badly. Funny that Margarito doesn't seem to punch as hard since being caught loading his gloves.

I think its accurate to say that for a long time mayweather has been actively dodging a Pacquiao fight.It seems as though mayweather does not have as much confidence in his own ability to beat Manny as Glisan and others do.

Re: What was Pinnacle thinking on Mayweather-Pacquiao....
Margarito is a tough guy and took Cotto's punches I agree with you there. I just question the results that his punches had on Cotto's face considering he got caught loading his gloves the very next fight.

Re: What was Pinnacle thinking on Mayweather-Pacquiao....
Not that surprised. Lots of people thought Pacquiao is an improved fighter after the 2nd JMM fight as he had thrashed everyone since then. The Marquez fight made people rethink that. I have always picked Floyd with a varying degree on how much trouble Pacquiao will give him. Floyd isn't quite as comfortable fighting southpaws as he is with conventional fighters.

Re: What was Pinnacle thinking on Mayweather-Pacquiao....
Some say Pacquiao didn't take the Marquez fight seriously, and that's why he had trouble, but I don't buy it. Pacquiao and Freddie Roach both said Pacman wanted to destroy Marquez to erase any doubt about their prior bouts.
It's a matter of boxing styles. Pacquiao isn't comfortable against counter-punchers. All the bigger guys he fought just stood there like punching bags. Of course Manny would have a field day with his helter-skelter style.

According to Arum, Poochiao isn't fully healed yet, and won't be ready for the May 5th date. Complete nonsense.

Mayweather never wanted any part of PacMan in 2011...take that to the bank....
It's a shame this fight may never take place...

Re: What was Pinnacle thinking on Mayweather-Pacquiao....
IMO %100 Mayweather should NOT have been allowed to reschedule his 90 day stay at Hotel downtown Las Vegas.......but
For a long time Mayweather absolutely ducked fighting Manny.Mayweather used the ongoing excuse that he wanted to rewrite the established drug testing rules for a Manny fight because he thought Manny was on PED's.So the bottom line was Mayweather kept avoiding Pacman.
Now Mayweather wants the fight?
Now Mr.Pacquiao wants it later rather than sooner?
So what.
One difference is that for the last couple of YEARS team Pacquiao really wanted the fight at all times, Team Mayweather did not.Perhaps now Team Mayweather have changed their mind.
So the good news is that hopefully the fight will occur.
It seems hypocritical of mayweather to cry foul when their guy was the one doing the dodging for so long.
One more time I am amazed that the Judge let him delay his jail time.
yes really.
