Pacquiao, Ugás Offers +3000 Boost From FanDuel
Before we get too far into this, there is a major caveat when placing a bet: Pacquiao is nowhere near the fighter he was compared to his prime. Truthfully, it is hard to believe that he is as good as he was in July 2019 when he beat Keith Thurman to become WBA welterweight champ. But his name is a draw, and he is an all-timer, so it is likely this fight is worth the price of admission.
Ugás' lack of star power could play a pivotal role in this fight as the trend - or at least perception - exists that an underdog has to truly dominate for judges to concede a round versus a favorite like Pacquiao.
Pac is now 42. He is six years removed from his fight with Floyd Mayweather, which most everyone accepts was about five years too late from when it should have happened. Added together, that is more than a decade from his dominance. It is a window that simply cannot be ignored.
