Betting on who Philippines fighting sensation, Manny Pacquiao, is going to fight next may prove to be just as riveting as betting on who might win.
With that said, oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com are said to be contemplating offering odds on who will face Manny Pacquiao next.
"There's enough speculation going around to keep the oddsmakers on their toes," suggests Tyrone Darnell Black of Gambling911.com. "Last week it may have been Floyd Mayweather, Jr. A few weeks ago it was Miguel Cotto."
This week, the favorite would likely be Shane Mosley. He declared his willingness to face Manny Pacquiao even at a catch weight.
"You can have [Floyd] Mayweather-Pacquiao or even [Juan Manuel] Marquez-Pacquiao III. I'll take Mosley-Pacquiao, which might be the most-thrilling matchup in years," The Ring's Michael Rosenthal wrote in the magazine's official website (http://www.ringtv.com).
"I'll meet him halfway so we can make the fight," said Mosley in an exclusive interview aired by NBN-4 sports program Teledyaryo yesterday. "I can possibly make the weight and feel comfortable. I want to explore that."
Black says he would list Mosley at even odds for the time being.
"This one is too early and too close to call right now and Mosley is simply the flavor of the day right now. But this is probably the most enticing matchup mentioned thus far."
