So now that Manny Pacquiao has toppled the no-longer Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya, two things come to mind to online sports betting fans: will Oscar finally retire and will we get our real dream match and see Manny Pacquiao fight Floyd Mayweather?

At this point, nobody cares about De La Hoya anymore so let’s focus on the potential matchup between two of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.

Mayweather had been the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world but Pacquiao has been making an impressive case of late. Pacquiao jumped up two weight classes and didn’t lose much speed in his fight against the bigger, stronger De La Hoya. Furthermore, sportsbook bettors observed as Pacquiao destroyed De La Hoya, beat him to the punch and eventually earned a technical knockout when De La Hoya couldn’t make it back out for round nine. De La Hoya was a -250 favorite on the fight and Pacquiao paid out 9-to-1 for the knockout.

Money May presents a very intriguing matchup the many online sports betting handicappers are already clamoring about. Both of these fighters are the best in our generation and while Pacquiao has been impressive, nobody has been better than Pretty Boy Floyd’s 39-0.

Mayweather retired after clobbering De La Hoya because he was bored with the sport. He has more money than he knows what do to with and there were no real challengers for him out there. But Pacquiao gives him a double-shot that he might not be able to resist. Pacquiao is a real challenge and a real threat to Mayweather’s perfect record, and Pacquiao now has enough popularity to make this contest a $10 to $15 million prize, which will entice Money May.

Sportsbook bettors know that Pacquiao has uncanny speed, even at his new weight, and his punches still have some pop. Mayweather will have his typical speed and should have the power edge because of his size. But one key thing to remember is that Mayweather has a huge ego. He’s probably watched Pacquiao all this time and has been itching for someone to expose him as a fraud. Pacquiao clearly is not a fraud, but Mayweather, as he does with all of his opponents, won’t hold any weight in his resume.

This fight will eventually happen. There’s too much pressure on Money May, who is the bully, not to come out of retirement for the challenge. He’s got too much pride, too much ego and too much talent to be living off of his money for the rest of his life. Like many of the rest of us who bet online and enjoy using our sportsbook when these fights come to fruition, I can’t wait for this fight to be announced.
