The fight between “Sugar” Shane Mosley and Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao will take place on May 7, 2011 at Las Vegas, United States. On the other hand, it is still a couple of months to go yet the betting industry in the said city is already running excitedly and feverishly. Odd makers are seeing Pacquiao as 7-1 favorite greater than Sugar Shane Mosley who is a previous world champion that won more than a few welterweight titles. Because of the 7-1 bet, it means that every bet of $700 placed on Pacquiao is going to yield $100 and a bet of $350 on Mosley will get $500. Actually, action celebrity Steven Seagal is putting his bet in favor of Pacquiao. Seagal who is a black belter in Aikido said, “He will beat Shane Mosley on the third round. I will bet for him always. He’s my brother.” On the other hand, Mosley remains unperturbed despite the immense popularity of Pacquiao. He said that he presently savors the underdog tag and claims that people that bet on him will earn large amount of money.
This 39 year old boxer said, “I do possess the punching power which will knock out guys. I would absolutely bet on me when they wish to earn some money.” Bob Arum, chief of the Top Rank Promotions said Las Vegas as one of the cities that is hit hardest by the fiscal crisis in US foresees the Filipino boxing celebrity as a godsend to the struggling economy. He said, “When Manny Paquiao comes to fight in Las Vegas, the city’s whole economy profits.” In fact, some companies even wish to ride on the commercial appeal of this Filipino boxer. According to Pacquiao, one of these companies has reported wanting him to support and endorse their product for shaving.
