Manny Pacquiao Will Not Accept 50-50 Split For Hatton Fight

[C.Y.]

Pacquiao is!!!!!!!!

idk about that one.. besides the oscar fight, his ppv numbers haven't been too high

Ricky has never sold 1 Million PPV's here in the US. His mega fight with Floyd did 850K, here in the US, where it counts.

No it's the total PPV sales that count. A dollar is a dollar regardless of where it came from. The UK PPV sales for Mayweather-Hatton were greater than the total PPV sales for DLH-Pacquiao.

Do you honestly think Pacman has the strength to push Hatton backwards?

do YOU honestly think that coming straight at pacquiao with no other backup plan is going to work?

Hatton knows that won't work. That's why he hired Mayweather Snr.

Im sure floyd sr has done a fine job but ricky isnt a green prospect that’s ready to be molded….i highly doubt that we’re gonna see a brit version of marquez come may 2nd…..


As ive stated before, I’ve noticed hatton having problems with southpaws and fighters with handspeed….that’s not a good Achilles heel when you’re going in there against pacquiao

Ding Ding Ding we have a winner!

Finally they spot Hatton's Real achilles heel.

Only the real boxing fans bring that up.

Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao’s lawyer says he won’t accept a 50-50 revenue sharing for the planned May 2 showdown with Britain ’s Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton and may look for another opponent. [details]

He's the pound for pound best fighter in the world, he deserves a bigger cut, 55/45 in more then fair and he might take that when offered.

[Dave Rado]

he can fight going backwards and lay perfect counter traps...two traits that ive yet to see from hatton....two traits that would be critical if he is to have a chance

I don't agree that they'll be critical - Hatton will never be a counter-puncher, but IMO he would have a chance if he showed a lot more lateral movement than in recent fights, moved his head a lot more, and jabbed his way in instead of rushing in like he did against Mayweather.

pbf-hatton did better than oscar-pac right?

oscar is more of a draw than pbf right?

Regarding the southpaw problem, Mayweather Snr. should be able to come up with a game plan to cope with that, plus he needs lots of good sparring to work on implementing it. Re. the problem with handspeed, I think if he can improve the lateral movement, angles, head movement and jabbing, he could negate or at least partially negate the handspeed problem. Floyd isn't going to try to turn Hatton into another Marquez, that would be silly - he's going to try to keep his basic style the same but work on the above things.
