Pacquiao believes that because he beat De La Hoya he has the bargaining power, when in reality, the exact opposite is true. Ricky Hatton has the trump card and is the winner here. He hasn't fought De La Hoya yet. De La Hoya even in his decrepit state is still the big pay day. Bigger than Hatton... bigger than Manny... bigger than Marg. Now, Hatton gets to fight DeLa Hoya, probably in London, for a shitload of money and, of course, boxing fans get squadoosh.
Hopefully Pacquiao gets a fight with Mayweather and maybe Hatton/Pac eventually meet up down the road... But, make no mistake... Pac got caught bluffing against Aces.
No one "wins"
Hatton loses less but I don't think that will be much comfort to him.
Pacman has a choise: Lose the ego or retire, because if he keep this level of greed up nobody will fight him.
My take is if they offer 60/40 mayweather. Pac should take it. It makes sense for pac to fight mayweather first then hatton. If pac wins 60/40 pac-hatton.
Hatton will always be there he has to deal with it.
^^^^
I think thats very fair.....GLO

i feel you but Pac wants money, thats been stated, what happens then when Floyd wants more than him? A Hatton fight could generate so much money that Pac could swim in it like Uncle Scrooge from Duck Tails..........
i mean 12 mill guaranteed?????? Pacs out his damn mind for turning that down....And if it was a ploy by Pac asking for a bigger purse because he'd rather fight Gayweather, then he should have flat out asked for 70/30, got turned down and negotiated with Gayweather right away, now he's going to sit out for awhile when realistically, he should be fighting in April/May

Take it.. Gayweather is undefeated former #1 p4p fighter. Hatton is an ordinary fighter. I see nothing special about him. Real talk.

Hopefully Pac and Gayweather fight, BUT when Floyd demands a bigger purse than Pac, whats Pac gonna do??

We will get Oscar ifeminately telling us how he will properly handle his weight this time
Billy Grahm is in a pub somewhere cursing about a greedy slanty eyed no good delivery man.
The only real winner in this? Jinky. She doesn't have to awkwardly maneuver around cameras for 2 hours on HBO..

yeah but hatton beating dlh means nothing because pac destroyed dlh. hatton cant buy legacy with his money. hatton cant erase his KTFO by pbf with his money.

You're right. But Hatton has plenty of time to do that... 15 million dollar pay days don't come along that often.
Hatton makes more money in a fight against DeLaHoya than in a fight with Pacquiao.

Oscar... the guy he's going to fight will get him more money. I know that's not the answer to your question, but it's the only answer that's relevant.
The real losers? The MGM in Vegas. We were gonna fly back over there to drop off our cash.
Do you think Floyd is comin out of "retirement" for a %0-50 split with Pac?? I highly doubt it.
See a fight with Floyd though, I could see Pac taking the lesser cut. I mean I don't see it being a 70-30 or 60-40, but anywhere in the 50-40s and considering it's Floyd Mayweather, I highly doubt they'd turn that down.
But obviously it's all hypothetical, but IMO Hatton should've taken the fight even if it were 55-45. He wont make that money with anyone else...not even Oscar now (how would they sell that fight anyway???).
Pacquiao has a chance now at fighting Floyd for an even bigger payday
Hatton shot himself in the foot. He won't be able to get that big a payday than with a fight with Pacquiao. He won't even make what he would've made with Pacquiao if he got the 45 split.
Name one fighter besides Oscar or Floyd who can get him that money?
Go ahead...Ill wait...

No one wins in this situation. It was the biggest fight out there for both guys. pac is playing a game hoping for a wild card(PBF), when no one really knows when or if that card is gonna be dealt. He had his shot to make great money with Hatton and blew it. His next fight will be for signifigantly less. Even if PBF comes back to fight him it wont be a 50-50 split. PBF is gonna want a DLH-esque split. Pacman loses but most of all the fans who wanted this fight lose.
hatton loses the chance to nail his legacy and redeem himself from being ktfo by the former p4p. both lost huge money, but ricky i bet is the one most affected by this.
