LAS VEGAS, USA ? Manny Pacquiao never looks down on an opponent. Especially if he’s a former phenomenon and four-division world champion like Adrien Broner.
Fact is, Pacquiao gave his World Boxing Association welterweight crown challenger a rating of 7 to 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 as far as ring capability is concerned.
?Broner is fast, a good fighter, a former champion,? said Pacquiao in an interview after his grand arrival at MGM Grand lobby Tuesday afternoon, January 15, (Wednesday, January 16, Manila time) here. ?I don’t underestimate him.?
Boxing pundits, however, think Broner, despite being 11 years younger at 29 and being a four-division world champion, has little chance of besting Pacquiao, the sport?s only eight-division world titlist.
As of Tuesday evening, oddsmakers installed Pacquiao a -300 favorite and Broner a +240 underdog.
Meaning a $300 wager on Pacquiao would earn just $100 while a $100 bet on Broner nets $240.
