Pacquiao turned down hatton for mayweather

Hey folks, i believe that manny turned down hatton for a fight against floyd...manny,s probably thinking that a fight with floyd would seal his legacy in boxing or better yet is like putting the icing on the cake...that would be the only reason pacman is backing out of this deal because like someone said that both guys are going to make millions but, manny is thinking legacy i say again...maybe we will here very soon if floyd is coming back and if so, look out... Any thoughts??? I dn't think so. Arum wouldn't be making the quotes he is now. No one has to look bad in a situation like this, least of all the fighter. The fact that Manny Pacquiao is being left out to dry makes me believe that Arum is genuinely hurt or mad or both. A fight with Mayweather may very well happen... but, Hatton wasn't turned down for Mayweather.

Well let,s see how much of the fight do hatton wants for his legacy because he,s rolling in dough...

Only speculation but, if paquiao does get this fight with mayweather then we will know why he priced himself out of the hatton fight...like i said before pacquiao isn,t thinking about the money he,s thinking about immortalizing his career in boxing and he,s probably thinking if he don,t fight floyd now then he probably won,t because floyd will retire again, oh i mean run away from any threat...floyd already fought hatton and won regardless to joe cortez so i think pacman would be the logical choice...right now i think floyd would lose to either guy and we know he k.o. Hatton but i think hatton wouldn,t get out of his game plan and we all know how much of a buzzsaw manny is so either way, because you can best believe that after this fight floyd invincibility will no longer exist... nah, pac wants money now he already got the accomplishments. its hatton that needs accomplishments, but he has to be willing to pay for it with $$$.

I hope not.

Mayweather will beat Pacquiao worse than he did Hatton. KO before 10. lol I like Hatton but he's nowhere near the level of pcaquiao.

pac is doing this to get more money! Are people seriously suggesting the reason he is not going to take this fight is on the basis that he just MIGHT be able to get a fight with floyd mayweather, give me a break. Mayweather is retired, get over it! And just for the record, open your eyes people, do you really think pacquiao would beat mayweather??? There is a massive difference between beating a 40% de la hoya and the greatest boxer of his generation. Pacs ability to fight at welterweight is still unproven i believe.

To be fair, I think the demand for 60/40 is just for more money not to fight Mayweather instead. I don't know whether he is going to fight Mayweather or whether Mayweather is coming out of retirement or not... I need proof before I start thinking it will happen. Either way, the better idea for Pacquiao and Hatton would be to fight each other then the winner of that fight possibly fighting Floyd (possibly).

Pacman's team Agreed in principle before the ODLH fight in a conference call to 50/50. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5llfzCWZ54I read somewhere this wasn't the case, someone assumed and sent the message to team hatton.

Mayweather will beat Pacquiao worse than he did Hatton. KO before 10.

Someone said that a paquiao vs mayweather fight wouldn,t generate the same dollars as a paquiao vs hatton fight and i believe that because floyd is a boring fighter and anyone that buys that fight would probably want there money back but, a hatton vs manny fight would be fireworks...i think if manny could get floyd to come out of retirement and he,d agree to a fight for p4p the best ever in our generation, i can see him turning down hatton and anyway paquiao is the most exciting fighter today...and i think he should get 55-45 period but, a fight with floyd would be something like this-(the day the earth stood still) a fight for p4p royalty...i,ve patent this title so no one can use it unless they contact me personally with dollar amount for title...so bob if your reading this give me a call... Really??? LOL Let's see... The 2 #1 P4P fighters of the last 10 years fighting to end a decade to see who the real #1 fighter in the world is. Tough sell huh? LOL. Also, what makes you think Hatton is this all action fighter? He's a brawler, but in no way is an action fighter ala Marquez and Pacquiao... Mark my words that if and when this fight is announced it'll sell out within minutes. PPV buys = through the roof, 24/7, viral marketing,...shit need I go on? The Hatton vs Pacquiao fight will be made, I have no doubt about that. But in now way does it make more than a Floyd return against Pacquiao... I'd put "real" money on that

Any thoughts??? i've said before that if I were manny, I would try and get floyd before fighting hatton just on the basis if Manny were to lose to mayweather, he could still have a huge fight with hatton, but if he were to lose to hatton, then there would certainly not be a fight with mayweather. but as of right now, mayweather hasnt' said anything to the press about coming back. last weekend or so ago, i posted a thread about how a customer of mine ran into floyd and asked about pacquiao and mayweather said that he would was gonna " kill him in the ring ", but mayweather hasn't said anything to fans or the press. so as of right now, mayweather is off the table, and hatton is right here now. pacquiao-hatton is a great match up, i think a fight between these two would be exciting, manny just needs to come back down to planet earth and take his HALF of the pie. half is better than nothing......... and nothing is what manny's going to get if the fight doesn't come through. common sense says and is, hatton brings more money to the table than anyone pacquaio is ever going to fight................

Don't underestimate the hate most people has to Gayweather, I for one is willing to pay hundred even thousand of dollar to see his ass whooped by the little guy.

Respect? I'm sorry, but anyone who's been paying attention to the negotiations has to have lost respect for Pac right now. Breaking your word doesn't earn anybody respect. Who said he broke his word? It is Arum who went ahead of Manny without even consulting him with regards the 50/50 split.

But, to beat little floyd and beat him like he beat dela hoya would put him in the top 10 as greatest fighter...who knows maybe he will agree to the hatton fight and maybe floyd will stay retire...we will know sooner or later...

see how much money he was giving to his fat entourage On top of that, Pacquiao is sponsoring a medical clinic, a foundation and schools for poor people in his country. I've also seen footages of him giving away food - lots of it. Like 10 thousand sacks of rice or something and the line is very long.

Manny isn't thinking legacy, he's thinking Money. He just fought the Golden cash cow remember. Weren't there more meaningful fights then Pacman-DLH? Yes, and he passed them up for the $$. He's doing the same thing here, just out for money. I like Pacman, put if this Hatton fight doesn't happen I hope he gets demolished by whoever he fights next. lol somebody is bitter! hahaha... Be objective man, the fight with DLH cemented Pacquiao's legacy. We all thought he has no chance to win it and he proved us wrong. That is legacy - David vs Goliath and little David won!

Did Pacman agreed or someone assumed he agreed?Pacman's team Agreed in principle before the ODLH fight in a conference call to 50/50. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5llfzCWZ54

Breaking your word doesn't earn anybody respect. Did Pacman agreed or someone assumed he agreed?

I'd rather see Pacquiao Mayweather than see Hatton get his head knocked off by Pacquiao. If he is doing it to face MAy.. then more power to him. May Ko'd HAtton, it's the bigger more meaningful fight.
