can't lose respect over anyone that looks out for his country...knowing all his earnings in any fight, he gives back... as boxing fan he's depriving us to great fights...but as a person that he is I'll never lose any respect for Manny... no... never.. and u shouldn't either!
I don't care what fighter it is, when money is the reason a fight falls apart, especially between two super star fighters who are millionaires over, it's a slap in the face to all boxing fans. Both fighters stand to make an ass load of money and the fact that Hatton was willing to budge and Pacquiao still didn't like the deal is a disgrace. For the people claiming that it isn't Manny being greedy but his handlers, I say if Pacquiao really wanted the fight and money wasn't an issue he'd have told his handlers that he's fighting, end of story. Both guys have enough leverage to warrant the 50/50 split. Much respect to Hatton for trying to make it work by taking a cut and shame on you Pacquiao for letting your greed ruin a great match up.
He deserves every penny,Hatton doesnt deserve 50-50.He's not the same class of fighter
yea, i don't know why some people didn't realized that. He fought his very ass off pretty hard going up and should likewise deserves a better deal at least if not 60-40.
:boxing:
I have.
If this fight with Hatton doesn't happen, it's his fault the greedy little bastard!
Not me i have not met the guy so i don't know if he is genuinely greedy.
For those that think Pac "deserves" more than Hatton because he beat DLH need to wake up. Ricky just might fight DLH in front of 80,000 fans live in the UK plus PPV and probably make more then he would fighting Pac.
If Pac doesn't wise up soon he's going to LOSE his biggest payday that he'll ever get. Getting paid has nothing to do with talent! If it did the Pac would've made more then DLH when they fought. Boxing paydays are about who can DRAW the money and in this case it's clearly Hatton. Ricky is the Champion, willing to fight out of his country, the bigger financial draw and he's still willing to split the pot evenly. Manny is being so greedy and stupid right now that it will be the biggest financial blunder a fighter ever made. WTF is he thinking?
no, he is just trying to get his proper due man. 50-50 sounds fair to most but Freddy Roach's point of view is that Manny just beat the shit out of a guy whom Floyd barely beat and Floyd knocked out Hatton, Oscar was Manny's big test and Floyd was Ricky's and 1 won while the other lost, add that to the fact that Manny is number 1 pound for pound and a champion in his own right and Freddy may just have a point.. on the flip side Ricky Hatton feels like hey I'm defending my title at my weight, I bring fans too, I'm also a top rated fighter so why should I take less? I feel him on that too.. honestly it boils down to who has looked better to me, I think Manny has looked better in his last few fights than Ricky and he has continuously stepped up, he's in a place where he needs to set standards, he is trying to become the money man and I can't say I blame him. Hatton's only stance is he is a champion defending his belt whom also brings fans, correct? Manny just defeated Oscar De La Hoya via submission, a MUCH bigger name than Juan Lazcano and Paulie Malignaggi fused together and he made it look effortless, truth is he is #1 pound for pound and he is a champion too, he's tried and true because he has faced all of his challenges and continues to seek more unlike the #1 pound for pound fighter prior to him did and overall he just has more to his credit in terms of opposition, stature and place in Boxing. in other words he's ranked higher, has had the better recent fights, brings A LOT of fans and is also a champion. I'm not saying I agree with neither side but Pacquiao has the stronger argument IMO, I personally thought they should just do 50-50 but after hearing the arguments I think Manny's is stonger because it's about WHO you beat and Manny beat the best, he left no questions and is the best fighter in the world, he may get the edge in money especially if it's 55-45, that's fair because Manny is ranked well ahead of Ricky, his buzz is big right now..
I guess you never heard of something called paragraphs?
The brit ppvs will double the american ppvs (philipines show it free). Plus have majority crowd.
Hes gone back on his agreement hes a lieing f**k who cant be trusted. Im not sure if even pbf went back on an agreement???
the tv network pays for it so its not considered free, just so you know. And in return they get huge tv ratings. so if your saying the Philippines isn't bringing any money to the table then you're terribly wrong.

yeah pac is a ****ing idiot. he would get more money fighting hatton for 50-50 than any other fight right now. plus it would be a great challenge for him. yep seems like a lil bit of mayweather is gettin into him.
Mayweather ducked Margarito and Cotto altogether, Pacquiao accepted Hatton's challenge but simply wants a bigger piece of the pie. Mayweather's a pussy, Pacman's a bit greedy, there's a BIG DIFFERENCE. :D
He doesnt have to worry about food!
He would have got so much money out of this fight even if he only got 50%.
What other fight will generate that much money for him? A win over Hatton would garentee even bigger paydays in the future and even tempt Floyd into a super match.
I have lost a little respect, because he would of got paid enough and i thought he was a fighters fighter.
Great fighters legacys have suffered for not agreeing on money issues.
Shame on you Pac.
well everyone tried to maximize there profit.
If you are a doctor or even any other profession you wanna get paid alot for it.
He already cemeted his legacy by beating the 3 greatest mexican of his generation Barrera. Morales and the Marquez.
and he beaten the bigger person Oscar even though he was drained but it still got him some money so way should he be the lower or equal part of the bargin?
Leon Spinks beatin Ali even though he was out of his prime that time but it was great win for him now he is just mopping floors in YMCA and that is coming from a person his nephew is fighting and getting paid good.
lol at all this idiots saying its all about getting more cash if he fight hatton. Pac is not looking for more cash. he only would like a bit of respect and be recognized of what he has acheived in the sport...
yeah pac is a ****ing idiot. he would get more money fighting hatton for 50-50 than any other fight right now. plus it would be a great challenge for him. yep seems like a lil bit of mayweather is gettin into him.
He has absolutely NO justification to demand 60/40 with Hatton. He is out of his ****ing mind being that damn greedy. It should be 50/50 to be fair, but if anything, if it had to b e 60/40 then it should be Hatton getting the 60%, he is the one who brings the real money to the fight by a long shot. That little asian shit is in way over his head.
So if you say Pac has no justifiable right to demand a 60/40. What right does Hatton have in demanding 50/50? Just because he brings in the crowd? Hatton didnt bring in as much money to the table when he fought Malinaggi compared to his KO from Mayweather. Which means one thing, Hatton needs big name fighters to help bring in his own british supporters. Pac made more money facing Diaz than Hatton did fighting Mali who? Pac's fights in the US has been PPV fights after his first fight with Barrera. Hatton needs Pac, Pac doesn't need Hatton. I guess in your world, the fighter who stays in one weight division to become champion gets the 60%. And how can he be greedy when he accepted a 68/32 purse split in favor of DLH? Don't even post if you don't have any real examples to bring to this thread.
