For a start getting 1/2 million on a long shot will tumble the odds in even if you can get the full amount on.... The market hasn't changed therefore i call bullshit on the bet

How much money in total will be bet on a fight like this in general?

There's this place called Las Vegas that has billions of dollars and can handle a bet of any amount.

It's probably already been mentioned but the article doesn't say he's betting all his money....it's just a metaphor.."he's betting everything on himself..."

Bs.

The only thing rosado is betting is his health after the god of war unleashes his wrath...

Yep. He also won a $250,000 bet with Antonio Tarver after Tarver failed to stop him in six rounds.

If he bets 250K of his purse according to this [URL]***********.oddschecker.com/boxing/gennady-golovkin-v-gabriel-rosado/winner[/URL]

he'll get between 3 million to 2,250,000 dollars

Then he should be smarter about it and go for 1mil in winnings for about 100k.

DeGale and Groves were going to put their purses on the line against each other but the BBBoC wouldn't let them and/or Groves just decided to let DeGale off the hook.
