Boxing: Money starting to come in on Gennady Golovkin

Boxing: Money starting to come in on Gennady Golovkin article feature image
For months, sportsbooks have seen a lot of two-way action for the upcoming prizefight between Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs).

With the fight just two days away, bettors are starting to make their move and significant money is starting to show up behind GGG.

Great two action for 2 months on GGG/Canelo but 50k and 100k bets on GG last few days have pushed liability to six figures for first time

The expectation remains that most of the fight night money will be on the more popular Alvarez, so it'll take a lot for the line to move dramatically.

Yes. That is the expectation
