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

[sportsplato]

Hatton is a champ, but in the US he is more known for running into the turn-buckle head first when Floyd KO'd him. You question Pac's fanbases' money. But Pac fights always sell-out. No matter who he is fighting. He sold out fighting DAVID DIAZ and it was on PPV.

Find it odd there'd say Pac is the bigger draw, when that's exactly what Hatton probably is really. Shows a little delusion on their part. If your just gona say because he's p4p #1 then that's one thing, but Hatton is undoubtedly the biggest draw in the entire sport. That's just how it is, and both sides should be appreciative for this scenario. I think a near 50-50 split is fair, perhaps 60-40 to the winner if Pac's so confident.

Silly to risk not making this fight though, it's a great fight for them and the sport.

It is just negotiations and it will probably work in his favour.Ricky does bring the most money wise but without Pacman Ricky doesnt have much else to look for. I highly doubt that Mayweather will come out of retirement to fight someone he already knocked out. I think his pride might get in the way and he would not bypass the new pound for pound king in order to do so. I think Pac has alot more options at this stage.

I believe it should be a 50-50 split. They both have a massive following. In my opinion, the fight will edge out more money because of hatton. Brits and americans simply have more more money. Pac has been in more high profile fights but before the dream match his highest PPV was 400k while hattons was 800k. I dunno i think theyll work it out tho because his agent mentioned mayweather as another opponent but mayweather will sure as hell not take anything lower than pac so who else would he fight?

[hotspurs57]

Pacquiao has always had great marquee ooponents and brings nothing to the table from his own country, as all fights are shown for free.
It really is as simple as that.
50/50 is more than fair.

What planet are you on? Because here on earth Hatton filled 55,000 seater football stadium for his comeback fight and sold 75% of the tickets in las Vagas which was sold out.

Ricky has sold out the M.E.N 15 times, thats 4000 seats bigger than the MGM Grand.

Pacman is killing the fight.. You can blame money-pacman for doing so

I took the liberty of fixing that for you.

[ferocity]

People were saying Delahoya was greedy with Pac, now its Pac who is greedy with Hatton. And Hatton is the bigger draw. In boxing money comes first. And in that order Hatton is the bigger draw, Hatton don't need Pacquiao.

[Chase8400]

Manny needs to be realistic. Hatton puts the asses in the seats. Not him. The split should not be ranked solely on the P4P status. Take Oscar as a prime example.

I'll never forgive Pacman if he messes this up.
