"I can't see where Pacquiao's coming from because without Ricky Hatton, what's he going to do?" said Williams.
"He's not going to be involved in a fight that will generate the same income as fighting Ricky Hatton.
"A fight with Mayweather won't generate the same money because Hatton brings all his fans and UK TV money.
"There's only so much you get out of a fight in America in terms of gate, and you're not going to get any more out of a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight than for a Pacquiao-Hatton fight.
"And when Hatton fought Mayweather, the crowd was predominately Hatton fans, and when Pacquiao fought Oscar de la Hoya, the crowd were mainly De la Hoya fans.
"Manny is massive in the Philippines, but thousands of Filipinos aren't going to travel to Las Vegas or pay £15 a head to watch it on pay-per-view.
"Do they honestly believe Pacquiao-Mayweather is going to do significantly more pay-per-view figures than a Pacquiao-Hatton fight? I don't think it will.
"But the ball's in their court. We think we're being reasonable and we're not going to be messed about."
If negotiations for Hatton-Pacquiao do collapse, Williams said Hatton would most likely fight in the UK in the summer instead.

yeah but no casual fans remembers or cares about those losses because he is the mexicutioner, but hatton's KTFO is the last big memory of hatton in the casual fans mind.
You can speak on behalf of everyone can you?
Piss off!
I'd rather be KO'd by the P4P#1 then some of the bums who Pacquiao has lost to.

That funny turnbuckle KO's pretty hard to erase in my mind, I think Hatton really needs to get this fight for whatever cost if he wants that funny shit erased. :lol1:

no way he's erasing that turn buckle KO and no way he beats Manny.
i dont even think he wants to fight Manny. he is the only fighter that wasnt calling out Manny, and during the interviews i swear i can see fear in his eyes.
They both need each other! End of!
Pacquiao ain't gonna make 'that' type of money fighting anyone else.
Hatton knows beating Pacquiao could wipe out that loss to Mayweather.

Hatton would likely pussy out if he isn't paid handsomely for the beatdown he's gonna get. :lol1:
hatton has a massive uk fan base that would encourage fights in the uk. he will make up his losses fighting in the uk.
yeah hatton will make money, but his legacy will still be getting KTFO by floyd mayweather.
60-40 is justifiable. pac is the face of boxing and p4p #1. If hatton wants the fight he has to be willing to pay for it. if hatton doesnt fight pac his fall back plan is to fight other 140 lbers with no name recognition. pac on the other hand can fight any of the best 147 lbers out there who are the elite of the sport not just their division. hatton must concede to make this fight happen.

if paquiao is unhappy with a 50-50 split he will not make that up with anyone of those opponents, hatton has far to much money to bring to this fight and that is why he should be entitled to exactly half of it!!!!
i respect paquiao and would love to see the fight but come on 60-40 is just unfair!!! and unjustifiable!

Exactly.
Big name fighters like Magarito,Cotto,Berto and others are all calling out Pacquiao.
Pac can get more credit and make as much money with these guys .

Ricky Hatton should just stay and fight in England filling out Wembley for the remainder of his career and retire a very rich and happy man. He has a big enough fan base overthere to stuff his bank account. He should just forget all about that whole BOXING LEGACY B.S. if that's not what he's really about... so yeah he can go tell Manny to f*** off.

Hatton should stick to his guns and stuff Pac-Man if he does not accept 50-50 | BoxingScene Community
