Hatton -
Mayweather fight: Ricky Hatton odds still underdog
The odds on Ricky Hatton
continue to make him underdog despite heavy betting in the U.K.
Although
the betting odds on the British fighter Ricky Hatton were
changed, following a flood of bets from the U.K., Hatton remains
underdog to win the fight with Floyd Mayweather. But depending
on the bookmaker you chose, the odds on Hatton and Mayweather
are moving in different directions. At the North American online
sportsbook
Bodog Sports, the odds on Ricky
Hatton to win the Sunday fight were downgraded from +185 to +190
and Mayweather went from -225 to -240 at the bookie.
Meanwhile at the U.K. online bookmaker
Bet365 the odds have moved in
the opposite direction. Bet365 cut the odds on Ricky Hatton from
13/8 down to 6/4, following a heavy betting action by the
British punters. According to some reports, over 90% of the bets
at the U.K. bookmakers are favoring Hatton to win so far, but
Floyd Mayweather remains the favorite by betting odds, despite
getting cut a little. At Bet365 Floyd Mayweather is listed with
odds 4/7, up from 8/15 two days ago. The bookies are expecting
to cut the odds some more before the Hatton - Mayweather fight
on Sunday in Las Vegas, but Hatton as favorite remains unlikely,
unless rumors, such as injury, prompts a change.
