I hate it, but from where I'm standing...Pac ducked
Seriously, you can't accept 55-45? Pac was/is afraid of a 140lb Hatton...
That's ok though...Holt/Bradley winner vs Hatton
Pac can fight anybody and it'll be a good one...maybe Valero/Guzman
Wait he got offered 55-45? Link please.:thanks:
the idea that pac is ducking hatton is hilarious.
only idiots think that.
Yeah, I mean I didn't think 60/40 was fair (just my opinion), I was thinking 50/50 fairly down the middle. But it was all down to money not ducking each other.
No one ducked anyone, Pac-man is just being greedy.
What he said. I still think this will happen if a brief interlude with both of them trying to tempt PBF out of retirement comes to nothing. 50-50 against Hatton is as least twice as much as Pacquiao would receive getting 70-30 for fighting anybody else, PBF excepted.
Nobody ducked nobody... they just couldn't agree on a purse split. Pacquiao wanted more after verbally agreeing to 50/50 and asked for 60/40 all of a sudden and Hatton wouldn't have any of it through principle. He offered 52/48 but then Pacquiao said he wanted more... Arum said he would take a shorter pay cut so Pacquiao can get more cash and he said no.
Pacquiao wanted a 60/40 split simply for more money, and Hatton rejected that through principle and had enough so pulled out because they were wasting there time. Seriously nobody ducked anybody in this case, well in my opinion anyway.

All you have to do is read the reports and press releases, EVERYONE; Ray hatton, Bob Arum, Richard schaefer, even ROACH, ALL said that the fight was agreed at 50-50 by word agreement...
... then people close to Manny started whispering in his ears telling him to demand more money (most probably that fat guy we saw on Pacquiao/ De la hoya 24/7, who ate all that food for 2gs LOL)
seriously ducking or not, that was a dumbass move by Manny. 50/50 of a HUGE PURSE, or now go elsewhere for 60/40 of a purse half the size
