How are American bookies seeing Josuha va Martin?

Struggling to find that info from here in the UK, just defaulting to UK sites and results on google.

Honestly it's not really something you can probably even get action on in the Vegas sportsbooks so nothing from the biggest odds makers like Westgate and MGM Grand. Only thing I can find are some of the 'grey market' US facing sites like Bovada (-600 AJ/+400 Martin) and 5dimes (-550/+425). These seems about right.

EDIT: Also apparently Algeri is +850 vs Spence. Maybe I'm really overrating Algeri and/or underrating Spence but that seems like a 2-1 for Spence at best.

How the gently caress do you even read those odds? I'm used to ratios.

The minus bet means that's how much you would have to bet to win $100. So if I'm -400, then you would have to bet 400 dollars on me to win 100 back.

The plus bet means that's how much you win if you bet $100 on it. So if I'm +250 and you put $100 on me, you'll walk away with your $100 plus your winnings of $250.

Good news about Blackwell. Now time for some laughs.

Apparently Manny Pacquiao is no longer beloved the world over as he was attacked yesterday by a man who rushed him outside of a Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles. Reports indicate that a white male quickly approached Pacquiao after a lunch with his entourage and hurled insults at him before supposedly trying to put the beats on Pacquiao, but was held back.

"He was shouting at Manny. F*** you, Pacquiao! F*** you! You homophobe!" said David Sisson [Pacquiao's personal assistant], who described the person as "white and quite big."

Laughing at this Martin vs Joshua press conference going on right now.

Sky Sports interviewer: "How do you feel about coming to the O2 in London? Is it a huge thing? Does it feel geared towards Joshua?"
Martin: "I've fought in the Madison Square Garden so... :jerkbag:" (read: who gives a gently caress about the O2. Which is true)

There is no way on God's earth that was Alex Ariza, and in fact he didn't even say he was, he just claimed to be a "big deal at Wild Card". It wouldn't have been Ariza anyway because he was badmouthing Pac and that was back when Ariza was still working with Pac.

Which is not to say I wouldn't have banned him if he actually was Alex Ariza, because I would have. He was posting like poo poo.

Woah woah woah. The guy got what was coming to him and I thought banning him was hilarious, but dude I'm like 90% that was Alex Ariza and I think it was shortly after roach fired him. Evidence pointing to it being Alex Ariza:

- Said if we knew who he was, we would beg for autographs
- Handle was ShitPoop69 or something like that
- Said steroids are good and old mens stomachs were for kickin'
- He was real fuckin fired up for no reason about how much Pacquiao sucks
