Ricky Hatton vs.
Paul Malignaggi fight odds
Boxing fans rejoice, the Ricky Hatton vs. Paul Malignaggi
fight is couple of days away and we are here with the opening
betting odds on this major Light Welterweight bout in Las Vegas
on Saturday night. And while speculation are afloat that this
will be the last fight for Ricky Hatton, such an outcome looks
grim, considering the recent trainer change. The 30-year-old
British boxer made a sharp turn in his career by severing his
ties with long-time trainer Billy Graham to hire another legend
- Floyd Mayweather Sr., father of Floyd Mayweather Jr., who in
turn delivered first blow onto Hatton's spotless record at the
same venue where on Saturday the Brit will face Paul Malignaggi
to defend his Ring Magazine light-welterweight championship
belt.
And drama outside of the ring equals
great revenues for the sportsbooks all over the world. And as we
always do with the major fights, we will look at the betting
odds offered by three different online bookmakers. Let's begin
with the Hatton vs. Malignaggi fight odds at the
international online sportsbook

full fight, posting -370 odds on the Ricky Hatton vs. Paul
Malignaggi fight to go all the way to 12 rounds. And if you like
betting the underdog in this bout, the offshore sportsbook
Bodog, which does not allow
Canadian bettors, has listed Paul Malignaggi with odds to win
the fight at +200, while Ricky Hatton is even bigger favorite -
all the way to -260.

not look at the UK-facing bookmakers to see how they perceive
Hatton's chances to come out victorious out of the MGM Grand
fight. For this we turn to
