How to read boxing odds
Most sportsbooks have only opened the one betting market on who will win the fight. With Alvarez being the clear favorite, his odds have the minus sign (-) in front of them at -300. This means that bettors would need to wager $300 in order to win $100. A Golovkin win would pay out much more, as he's the underdog at +250. This means that a $100 wager would profit $250.
