Golovkin is a 1 to 100 betting favorite against Andy Lee

[Hougigo]

Gotcha. Regardless, the last 2 opponents got way outsized purses, and an incredible split vs the champ. How about you, can you think of another featured champ giving a 3/4 split or better to the B side challengers?

Got it wrong man. I found out that what we thought he was getting paid was only 1/6 of what he's actually getting paid, and what he's paying his opponents....1/4 of what they could've made
Truth really opens your eyes

No way would a guy like this make the same amount of money against his opposition. I mean, Macklin and Stevens could've made more money than the lowball he offered them and the high purse he made off with

There's no point putting any money on Lee.

Even at 1000/1 there's no point.

It's the equivalent to burning your money.

The favorite doesn't always win my friend. An upset could win you or lose you a lot of money. Ask Floyd

Right, I do understand.

But in this case, the favourite is going to win and it's not worth putting any money on it despite the very wide odds.

wonder what the people who laughed at broner/rees have to say about this

Nothing. We're still laughing.

The real question is what's stopping anyone from casually throwing a tenner on Lee?

I'm actually considering it - Ok, in the real world Lee ain't winning, but this is boxing and anything can happen. Fights are just too random - GGG could sprain his ankle in the ring, tear a muscle or break his hand. No fight betwen guys of equal size should be 100-1.

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.

[M Bison]

Right I'm confused about this infact ima ask Floyd for advice...


Floyd can I get some betting advice please?



Oooh I see, bet alot on the favourite get possibly a few mill on the return, excellent idea!!

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.
