British Bookies Will Cheer for Hatton As Pacquiao Money Floods In Special

British Bookmakers like William Hill have been taking regular £5000 ( $7,454) bets for Manny Pacquiao. The highest bet that Hatton have is a £1000 ( $1,490) wager.

William Hill is anticipating a lot of money for Hatton to come in but it has not materialized yet. Fans of Ricky, the Hitman, has not supported their hero by putting their money on the Manchester slugger. "We are currently looking at making a hefty profit should Hatton upset the odds and beat Pacquaio" said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. The Filipino boxing superstar is a UK betting favourite ( 2-1) to win his fight against British Brawler Ricky Hatton. A £2( nearly $3) bet for a Pacquiao win will earn only £1($1.50). Round by round betting on who will win by knockout is more popular among British boxing fans. Danny Alcantara, who works for William Hill, told DigitalJournal that most Filipino boxing fans in the UK has placed a bet on Pacman to win by knockout between rounds three and six.
