How does this odds thing work?
Does 100-1 mean I can put say 1 million on lee and if he wins ill get 100 million?
Is there a maximum limit?
Whats stopping a person from teaming up with these guys and paying them 10 million to throw the fight after they put 1 million on the underdog?
They would have still made 90 million.
They'll be a limit and a very small one at that with 100-1 odds.
There will be ways of getting around it but bookmakers don't want you to bet high on 100-1 odds.

Sergio Mora is a versatile, tricky boxer who can move and be hard to hit. So he would provide Golovkin with a stylistic challenge that he hasn't seen yet.
He also beat Proksa.
Oh I know, and don't get me wrong, Mora's a skillful, tricky b@stard (in the most complimentary sense).
The styles clash does potentially make it interesting in the sense of seeing how GGG copes with a different style, but the result is no more in doubt than Golovkin fighting Lee.
As for how the fight would look, Vera vs Mora I and II should provide some kinda insight.
Actually, on that note, I can think of worse fights than Lee vs Mora - Lee's Kryptonite is power and aggression which Mora doesn't bring, so you end up with a pretty good skill vs skill, defense vs offense matchup.

They should consider him for a Monaco fight too, but he probably wouldn't take the money whereas Lara would.
HBO don't like Mora, I think Sanchez said they wouldn't approve him when he gave an interview last year and obviously they can't work with GBP Lara.
What puzzles me is the number of people bringing up Mora as a more respectable opponent - stylistically he may be trickier, but H2H Lee is the better fighter for my money.

It's only likely to happen if Lara jumps ship or they make it off HBO (say like Monte Carlo 2015).
K2 just don't seem to have much interest in it tho, and I can kinda see why, but it's a pity 'cos I think it'd be a great fight and a good test for Golovkin.
K2 should make that Lara fight in Monaco if they can get it done. Golovkin drops and stops him imo.
Andy Lee was half decent when he had the tutelage of Manny Steward but now pffft whatever he had is gone.
He did look a half decent fighter few years back but he's simply slumped in form maybe due to lack of ambition on his behalf.
The Irish aren't ******* though so I'll give Andy Lee that over the likes of Quillin and Martinez.
Lee would probably give Quillin all he could handle.
That can't happen next though, since Golovkin's going to be on HBO. I hope they can find some way to make it happen afterwards.

**** this fight. I know it's vs a legit middleweight and ppl complain bout the lack of natural 160 pounders GGG fights. I though wann see GGG vs Lara. Very interesting scrap IMO. Canelo ducked Lara and everyone's ducking GGG at middleweight. Sounds like a good fight.

Yo, what you talking about man? Only person ducking is Golovkin.
Refuses to fight Quillin
Always picks a date Geale can't fight. Couldn't even move his fight up or down a week to make it happen.
Won't give a reasonable compromise to Murray for his Visa problems because he knows he can blame him for it.
Face it man....Golovkin has been ducking the entire MW division the whole time, that was the endgame.
You forgot to mention that Golovkin discarded Ward's $300,000 offer for a fight in Oakland, and Froch's 15-85% split for a fight at the Wembley stadium.
Kovalev was basically unknown at the start of the last year, didn't have a title and has fought a far higher level of opposition than GGG - Campillo. White. Cleverly. Sillakh.
.
That isn't even close to being "far higher", "slightly higher" i could probably understand. As for Cleverly, have you actually seen him fight? He sucks and was one of the worst world champions in recent memory.
It's weird. Kovalev fights mostly bums as well, but seems to be universally loved on here whilst Golovkin is mostly hated.
Kovalev actually received better chances, coming from nowhere last year, than anyone has been willing to give Golovkin. And he's probably getting Stevenson later this year.

If you think those are bums (a term that shouldn't be used about any pro fighter unless you are one) you DKSAB.
I ain't really blaming GGG for his less than stellar opposition, but Kovalevs 2012 was better than GGGs.
If only the Golovkin haters blamed the people who duck him, rather than strangely blame Golovkin for people ducking him. The middleweight division's endgame seems to be to force Golovkin up, and usually they would be ridiculed for their obvious intentions. Not sure what it is about Golovkin that makes people treat this situation differently.

Andy Lee can box, he just ain't got the best resilience. He was was beating Vera (first fight) and outboxing Jr until he got caught (in the 16' ring) and looked far more convincing beating Vera than Jr (if you even think JCC won).
It just seems like his career's just gone down the tubes since JCC and losing Stewards backing - though he was unlucky in missing out on the Spada fight last year.
Basically the kid got mauled in a tiny ring by a much bigger guy, and for some reason he's getting slated. I understand that what people are really getting at is that he ain't gonna be much of a challenge for GGG, but really, H2H Andy Lee is competetive with the likes of Macklin, Murray and Barker.
What puzzles me is the number of people bringing up Mora as a more respectable opponent - stylistically he may be trickier, but H2H Lee is the better fighter for my money.
Looking down the MW rankings, and taking out the guys who are unavailable or have already turned it down, Lee is actually near the top of the list.
