Boxing News: Is Mayweather A Great Bet With Drug Testing On Pacquiao? The Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather fight is on hold for now as Mayweather missed a Friday deadline to sign a contract issued by Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum. Arum stated that he plans on finding a new opponent for Pacquiao within 10 days but until then the fight could still happen. Some of the opponents Arum is considering for Pacquaio are Antonio Margarito, Paul Williams and Miguel Cotto. Arum has stated that Mayweather’s reluctance to sign the contract could be due to his trainer Roger Mayweather Jr. facing possible imprisonment on August 3rd. Floyd would be facing the toughest opponent of his career without his trainer but he still does have his father Floyd Mayweather Sr. who is an excellent trainer. Pacquiao agreed to all of the Olympic style drug testing that Mayweather demanded so we asked our top fight picks handicapper Brad Marchetti to weigh-in on how the drug testing and the possible absence of Roger Mayweather would affect this bout.

Fight Picks Analysis: Brad Marchetti had this to say about how the drug testing and possible absence ofRoger Mayweather‘s will affect the boxing betting line. “ I really don’t think not having Roger in Floyd’s corner will bee too much of a factor. Mayweather has his dad and at this point in his career he is basically on autopilot with his training. With the Olympic style testing is in play until the day of the fight and that gives Mayweather’s number great value at it’s current -160. Pacquiao has never failed a drug test but our boxing picks staff believes that he takes some sort of enhancement for his cardiovascular strength. What really makes Pacquiao great is his ability to throw hard and fast punches for every minute of every round. If Pacquiao is only 80% of the offensive machine that he usually is he will probably get beaten handily.” The Floyd Maywether vs. Manny Pacquiao Odds have Pacquiao at +130.

“From a skills standpoint I think that Mayweather showed against Mosley that he can overcome adversity which he had never had to do before. Before the Mosley bout when the books had Mayweather at -120 our boxing picks staff thought it was off. Then after the Mosley bout the number went up to a more accurate -175. The reason we had originally sent out a Mayweather -175 fight betting line is because of his versatility and far superior defense. With drug testing in play the number should be more like Mayweather -230. Mayweather is one of the best defensive fighters of his generation and Pacquiao is a sucker for uppercuts. I also think that Floyd’s hand speed is a touch faster and that he will be about 10 Lbs heavier on fight night.” The Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Odds give Mayweather Jr. a 63% chance of winning.
