Got a alert from youtube about the press conference, turned it on to see Shaub talking about how much bigger Diaz was than Mcgregor, turned it off. I can usually tolerate bad announcers or commentators, but life is too short to hear another word from that guy
Couldn't agree more. I was watching it and my wife was in the room (no pics). She doesn't follow boxing or MMA anymore. When Schaub started talking she said "who is that guy, he sounds dumb". When I told her the name she recognized it from me bitching about the podcast before I stopped listening. Any Schaub is too much Schaub. He went from pretty cool to total tool in a couple years.

In other news, boxing sharp money is starting to hit the offshore books & to move the lines to the Floyd side after long term movement on McG side. Prices are still way lower than reality would've predicted, imo.

Couple of days ago, Floyd got as low as around -450, after months of action (I bought a little Floyd at -470, planning a teeny scalp).

Line is now at -540/+460, moving on the Floyd side. Reports are that the books are all taking positions on Floyd.

MMAjunkie also had Oddessa on (haven't listened yet): Chamatkar Sandhu, Joey Oddessa and Scott Ghertner are on today's show. - Oddessa

Checking out the Oddessa interview. Especially meaty bits begin here:

Line has already moved again at 5d. -560/+475 now. Would not be surprised if there's a run on Floyd, now, with the perception that it's bottomed out & the late money for Floyd has begun to go down. Oddessa predicts around 500 for close in the interview (seems like he meant Floyd side -500 -- already modest at current price).

Odd also says he laid -600, thinking that was as low as the price for Floyd would go. Kinda comforting to know the sharpest industry guy in the world can mis-predict the line movement by that much.

Betting action on this is a freak show.

Gervonta Davis is very good. He's the same weight at Lomachenko & I don't see him beating Loma, but he's probably the 2nd best at the division
just checked the odds for the Davis fight b/c I haven't heard of the guy he's fighting, he's a -5000 & -6000 fav at the sites I use. Been awhile since I remember seeing that big of a favorite on a big fight ppv card
