This is what's wrong with boxing!! This is ****ing pathetic on Arums/Mannys part, 50-50 is a good deal, Hatton will bring more money then Manny, 15-20 thousand British fans would fly out to Las Vegas for this, millions would buy PPV.
Really would make me angry if we loose this fight over 10% of the ****ing purse, how shitty does that make boxing look? No wonder everyones jumping on the UFC bandwagon, i can't stand the sport but atleast you don't get any of this rubbish.
Manny maybe the better fighter (I reckon Hatton has a good chance tho) but he simply doesn't bring money like Hatton, De La Hoya or Mayweather. How can you want 60% when you're probaly only bringing 30% to the purse?
Just get the fight signed, stop arguing when you're gonna be making millions either way, kinda takes the piss to be arguing over a few percent when most people are struggling to keep a job.
thats the point!! pacquiao is from the philippines but all his fights still goes to PPV here in the US....
what are you on about, only an idiot would think pacman brings more money to this fight then hatton.
1. look where manny is from, not many of them will have the cash to travel over, compared to hattons 15-20k fans, spending money in casinos/drink/cctv/tickets/merchandise/hotels
2. UK PPVs will generate shit loads of cash, america aint the only country with ppvs you know
manny brings 30% maximum to this purse, it's probaly more likely 25%. Hatton fought Lazcano and sold out a 60k seater stadium, do you think Manny could do that?
all those guys have fanbases in the americas except for bradley. that's why they wont travel except bradley.
also bradley defeated witter over there so he's more confident that he will get a good result over there.
i just disagree with you there because i think if the get an offer to fight ricky @ uk.. i think they will say HELL YEAH... but thats ok.. its a matter of oppinions :boxing:
The fight will happen if Ricky Hatton loses this undeserved ego. Dude is delusional. Pac is a PPV mainstay. The Brit gate revenue is nothing compared to the consistent viewer numbers that Pac has brought in with his last 10 fights on PPV. Come on...
all those guys would fight ricky in the u.k. if the money is good enough.
kostya even fought in the u.k. against ricky instead of fighting floyd because ricky was more money than floyd.
exactlyyyy mannnN!!!!!
thats the point!! pacquiao is from the philippines but all his fights still goes to PPV here in the US....
manny can't make money in the philippines.
manny himself only started fighting ppv fights barely in 2005-2006.
ricky can make more money in the u.k.
ricky makes millions of dollars just fighting in the u.k.
remember british ppv buys outnumbered u.s. ppv buys during mayweather-hatton.
Cotto will fight anywhere and Judah would do it for the money. Not sure about JMM. And as you say Bradley would.
cotto wont give up home court advantage. he didnt travel for mosley. judah will travel... within the States thats about it.
Aye but it's alot better when the fights signed and sealed, that way we can egt on with the build up rather then listening to this shit.
TBF to Manny i can't see this really being down to him, more Arum.
It's most likely marketing buzz.
Look what it's doing on NSB.

Don't blame the judges...they fell asleep too.
how can you be sure about that...?

how can u say hatton brings more money than pacman, hatton's last fight wasn't even in PPV!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
all pacquiao's fights is in PPV :oh:
they weren't ppv in the u.s. but they were ppv in the u.k.
everyone knows oscar brought the most money and hatton brought the second most. if manny don't want the fight for even money i dont blame hatton for turning it down. this is exactly whats wrong with boxing. greed on arums part. it probably aint even about the money on hattons part but just the pride.
how can you be sure about that...?

none of those guys will fight hatton in the uk, except maybe bradley

**** Hatton v Pacquiao, HBO just want to use Hatton as a stepping stone to Pacquiao/Mayweather
Hatton v JMM
Hatton v Judah
Hatton v Bradley
Hatton v Cotto
in the UK are muich better fights.
Hatton loses at least 2/4 of those fights though. I'd be scared to see wat Cotto would do to Hatton.

pac does deserve 60-40 tho.
only if ricky gets exclusive british tv rights.
british tv rights are a lot more money than philippine tv rights.
so it'd be fair if manny gets the slight edge on u.s. money.
if ricky has british tv rights then no matter what percentage pac gets ricky will make more money anyway.
if they're splitting everything then 50-50 is fair.
relax.
they have 4 months to go , bud. lol
come onnnn.... left....
he barely post!!!! he have the right!!!!!!
LET HIM YELL THAT SHITTTT!! HES RIGHT!!!!
heheheh im with you!!
make this fight!! dont care how just make it!

it's his handlers. manny listens to them. if they tell them it's good , he's good.
arum is just using negotiation tactics.
just look at it as the 1st part of the hype. right now it's promoter vs. promoter.
once the deal is signed then 2nd part is trainer vs. trainer.
then current and former mexican boxers rallying around hatton , the manchester mexican , against the mexican assassin.
