Manny Pacquiao huge underdog, Canelo vs Crawford line move

Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao is set to come out of retirement after nearly four years to challenge Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title on July 19 in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao, now 46, last stepped into the ring in August 2021, suffering a unanimous decision loss to Yordenis Ugas. Following the defeat, he announced his retirement in order to focus on his political career.

SportsBetting.ag was the first book to set a line for the Pacquiao vs. Barrios bout, and the 29-year-old out of San Antonio is an enormous favorite. 

Fight Odds

Manny Pacquiao          +340

Mario Barrio                 -500

Additionally, following Canelo Alvarez’s criticized victory over William Scull last weekend, the odds for his highly-anticipated fight against Terence “Bud” Crawford have moved.

The Canelo vs. Crawford line opened back in January and Alvarez was listed as a -150 favorite while Crawford came back as a +120 underdog. 

Within minutes, the odds had moved to Alvarez -185, Crawford +155. However, the latest numbers have moved back to closer to the opening numbers.

Fight Odds

Saul Alvarez                  -145

Terence Crawford         +115
