Pacquiao vs. Mayweather current odds: Manny remains underdog two days out

The money doesn’t appear to be moving around much this week, as Floyd Mayweather remains a solid favorite on the sports books for his Saturday fight against Manny Pacquiao. Major sports books have Mayweather listed between -200 and -225 for the fight, consistent with the rest of this week, while Pacquiao also holds steady, between a +175 and +200 underdog.

The odds for the fight opened with Mayweather around a -285 favorite, so that did change a fair amount, as did Pacquiao’s initial line of around +225.

The Mayweather-Pacquiao undercard fights are not seen as particularly competitive on paper, drawing a fair amount of criticism for the matchmakers, who had a chance to put on some good matchups in front of a huge audience, and instead opted for showcase fights.

Top Rank’s offering will see Vasyl Lomachenko (-2500 to -5000) take on Gamalier Rodriguez (+1000 to +2250) for Lomachenko’s WBO featherweight title. Lomachenko is definitely a fighter to behold, as he’s just four fights into his pro career and is one of the best pure boxers in the sport today. The Ukrainian is a former two-time Olympic champion who truly dominated at the amateur level.

Mayweather Promotions is putting forth Leo Santa Cruz (-10000 to -11000) against Jose Cayetano (+1600 to +3000) in what is seen as an extreme mismatch, which is unfortunately nothing new for Santa Cruz, who has been heavily criticized for recent fights like this one, despite being a likable fighter with an exciting style.
