Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz Fight Action Has 73 Percent of Early Bets on the Dog
Today is the big day - August 5, 2023. Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz is expected to be the biggest fight of the year so far, even bigger than last week's Errol Spence vs. Terence Cawford. That one resulted the highest trafficked day for Gambling911 since August 2017 and, while the traffic entering this weekend's fight the days leading up was much lower compared to last week, an hourly uptick was noticed this Saturday morning.
73% of early bets are on Diaz to win tonight. Diaz is making his professional boxing debut and has 5 wins by KO/TKO throughout his 19-year MMA career.
On the other hand, Jake Paul is the-400 favorite and is 6-1 in boxing and is coming off a decision loss to Tommy Fury. The Total is set at 8.5 rounds. Diaz pays out $300 for every $100 with a win. The odds equate to an 80% implied probability that Paul will defeat Diaz.
A press conference on Thursday got completely out of hand, which will add to the excitement coming into this one perhaps.
Currently, the sportsbook is reporting that 77.4% of the moneyline handle is on Paul. Under 8.5 rounds is being backed at 56.1%.
