I mean Pacman is the star, the NUMBER 1 PFP fighter in the world, he has EARNED the 60-40 split. Look at the guys resume. Hatton with his recent showings should be happy with that split. Floyd already made him big bucks.
Firstly, the simple fact is that whoever the 'star' may or may not be Hatton brings as much cash, if not more, to the table than Pacquiao. He is also the linear champ and Ring belt holder at 140. To me that rates 50-50 whatever sort of fr*gging resume the challenger may have... and I tend to agree with a couple of previous posters that Pac's resume isn't quite as impressive as you seem to think it is. Linear champ is a matter of fact. #1 PFP is a matter of opinion.
Secondly, a lot depends on the circumstances. You might have a point (although I don't agree with it, as I said) had that been the Pacquiao camp's position from the word go, but it seems everyone thought 50-50 had been agreed. If that was the case, you have to draw the line somewhere and it's not hard to see why Hatton might be a tad pissed.
Thirdly, it depends on what else is being lined up. We simply have no idea of who might be willing to get it on with who at the moment, with PBF being the really big unknown.
OK guys, sorry about the Malignaggi decent effort thing. I didn't realy remember the fight so good couse it was pretty boring, my bad. But he did look SHIT against Lazcano. All he brings is the British TV audience and a one dimensional attack. I mean Pacman is the star, the NUMBER 1 PFP fighter in the world, he has EARNED the 60-40 split. Look at the guys resume.

Floyd never made anyone big bucks, Oscar was his one great payday, he always needed the money man and Hatton is a money man.

If I could beat a top 10 in my weight fighter 120-108 / 120-110 / 118-110 and be called shit, i'd be more than happy.
Lazcano had two spells of sucsess in the entire fight both lasted less than 30 seconds.
how many warnings prior to that... ?How many times had either fighter pushed the others head to the floor?
That like me saying "It wasn't a touchdown because the lineman jumped offside"
and you replying "How many time where linemen called offside before the touchdown?"
"Errr, none, but thats because none had jumped offside before that, whats your point?"
Hatton was only slightly hurt. I have just watched the fight again, and Hatton was not anywhere near being knocked down. His legs went for a couple of seconds, thats all. And the ref was warning Lazcano about holding Hatton down, when you can see Hatton look down and realise his shoes were undone.
The break benefited Lascano more than Hatton.
What does it matter, the bottom line is Manny is a greedy little twat and not a man of his word. The whole boxing world should hammer him just for that.
Does he honestly think he's bigger than the game, I suppose that's why the Philippines is a third world country.
nope.. he was wobbled and the ref saved him....

Go and watch the fight again, the fight was stopped for a warning to lazcano.
No ifs, no buts, no maybes thats a FACT
Not an opinion, not a nuthugging reply, not a fantasy but a clear undisputable FACT.

Any ref would have done the same, Lazacano was pushing Hattons head down and punching, so the ref warned him. Hatton showed the ref his shoe lace was untied, so the ref let his corner tie it. Should he have made Hatton continue fighting with his lace untied?
nope.. he was wobbled and the ref saved him....
I kinda agree. I mean Hatton got knocked the **** out by Floyd, then had a bad showing against Lazcano and then beat the feather fisted Malignaggi who managed to put up a decent fight against him, wasn't a cake walk. At the same time Manny has beat guys like Oscar, MAB, Morales, Marquez ( Legends ) and others. Hatton should just be quiet and accept what his drunk ass is being offered.
Sorry how wasn't the Malignaggi fight a cake walk? What did he do to hurt Hatton. He won one round. It was a horrible display. He was pulled out not because he couldn't last but because he wasn't doing anything. And Hatton has beaten Castillo, Kostya Tszyu (easily his best victory- a true great) and faced the P4P Mayweather who outclassed him. Fair enough. And accept what he's being offered? Do you realise what he brings from British PPV? And what does being drunk have to do with this?
All I'm saying is, it was pretty convenient huh that his shoe is untied as he takes some of the best punches of the fight which hurt him.You mean the stoppage for the warning to Lazcano for pushing the opposing fighters head down?
Someone needs to watch the fight again.

Because Hatton untied his shoes with boxing gloves on? And then I suppose he went and painted a portrait of fine art.
Good point...the ref saved him in the Lazcano fight anyhow, IMO.

As long as he wins his next fight, he should be able to get a big one after that. I been thinkin he should just pick on Zab and make use of what lil name power he has left right now before someone else does.
Hatton handidly Paulie who was the number 2 JWW if I remember correctly, so it's you who needs to STFU.
number 2 JWW just because talent in that division is paper thin, when you have a joke like Hatton as you number one fighter, that's a clean indication that the rest won't even get in the top 200 P4P :D
Pac got gifts in the second Marquez fight and the Barrera fight but that doesn't matter we're talking about Hatton here jabroni.
yeah but it's in the context of pac-hatton so pac can be brought up.
ricky isn't as bad as people make him out to be. he's terribly underrated.
He hasn't done nothing of note since losing to PBF. He needs to fight a dangerous contender if he wants a superfight. Bradley or Holt first.
The usual revisionist crap. Malignaggi WAS that man - until Hatton beat him.
