帕奎奥-160
瑟曼+140
平局10-1
瑟曼在第一回合获胜是80-1，第二回合是60-1，第七回合是50-1。
另外，文中说瑟曼“One Time”（一次性）的绰号是源于他拥有一击必杀的能力，这个真没发现。
今年6月，瑟曼告诉TMZ，他计划在第一回合或第二回合击倒对手，并在自己身上下注1万美元。周三，这位30岁的瑟曼向记者重申，他计划在第一回合、第二回合或第七回合比赛中将帕奎奥KO出局。

WBA welterweight champion Keith Thurman said he plans to bet on himself to knock out Manny Pacquiao in Saturday’s title fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. But the vast majority of bettors at Las Vegas sportsbooks are backing Pacquiao.
Thurman (26-0, 22 knockouts) opened as a minus 140 favorite over Pacquiao (61-7-2, 39 KOs), who opened as an underdog for the first time since his 2015 megafight with Floyd Mayweather. But heavy action on Pacquiao made the 40-year-old as high as a minus 170 favorite Friday.
“It’s just been nothing but Pacquiao money,” Westgate sportsbook director John Murray said. “No matter what we make the price, Pacquiao is the only side anyone wants to bet. We had a guy come in (Friday) morning who bet Pacquiao for $5,000 at (minus) 165, so we went up to minus 170.”
The Westgate later dropped Pacquiao’s price to minus 155. The largest wager at the Westgate on Thurman was for $10,000 at plus 110, while the biggest bet on Pacquiao was for $23,000 at minus 105 on June 23.
“We’ve taken some money on Keith, but it’s been a pretty one-sided fight so far,” Murray said.
Caesars Entertainment sportsbook bettors also are all over Pacquiao.
“We’re going to need Thurman for a ton,” Caesars risk manager Jeff Davis said. “We’ve taken a slew of Pacquiao money, and all the money the night of the fight will be on Pacquiao.”
A Westgate bettor placed a $5,000 wager on a draw at 16-1 odds, driving the price to 10-1. The draw also has been a popular prop at Caesars, where it’s at 12-1 after opening at 14-1.
“The draw is taking a ton of money. It always does. We always need to fade the draw,” Davis said. “On the five-way (method of victory) prop, the most tickets are on the draw, twice as many as the rest of the pool combined.”
Davis said Caesars took a sharp bet on under 11½ rounds at plus 330.
Murray expects the fight to go the distance.
“It’s going to be a very close decision,” he said. “It’s probably going to be one of those things where the fight is super close, and no matter who it goes to, everyone will say it’s a robbery and there will be a meltdown on Twitter.”
Murray said the line move on the fight is an overreaction to each boxer’s most recent performance, with Pacquiao coming off a convincing win over Adrien Broner and Thurman coming off an unimpressive decision over Josesito Lopez.
“I think there’s value on Thurman at plus 150 if that price is out there,” Murray said. “I would not be that surprised if Pacquiao won, but I think it will be a really close fight.”
Thurman, who earned the nickname “One Time” for his one-punch knockout power, told TMZ in June that he planned to bet $10,000 each on himself to win by knockout in the first or second round. On Wednesday, the 30-year-old reiterated to reporters that he planned to bet on himself to knock out Pacquiao in the first, second or seventh round.
The odds at the Westgate on Thurman to win the fight in the first round are 80-1, second round 60-1 and seventh round 50-1.
