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

[The Gunner]

If the fight dont happen then only one man is to blame, Manny.

Hattons needs this fight in order to reestablish his career. Pac has options and can sit on the backburner until he gets the offer he wants. At the end of the day the outcome of a Hatton vs. Pac is going to be the same.

Pac by a brutal TKO over Hatton.

Rubbish, Hatton can fight whoever he wants. He could fight a bum then the JMM vs Diaz winner and still have the Floyd rematch when Floyd returns. He also has options at 147 too.

Pacquiao needs Hatton, Hatton dont need Pacquiao. Pacman should remember that.

pac is the better boxer

P4p yes, but since Pacman hasn't beaten anyone decent above 130 and Hatton has been the king of 140 since he beat Tzsyu you cannot say that Pacman will beat Hatton with ease.

I remind you Pacman beat Diaz on accumilation. Holt, a lesser fighter at 140 than Hatton KTFO Diaz quicker than Pacman did, a green untried Holt.

i think Pacman can and will win but until Pacman takes the first power shot who the **** knows how he will take it, Malinaggi has a A class chin an A class 140lb chin at that and he was in ***** street in round two when hatton popped him.

There is an awful lot of people counting chicken from eggs that haven't even been laid yet reference this fight, anyone who think Hatton won't be a force against anyone a 140 is ignoring an awful lot of evidence saying he will and making an awful lot of leaps of faith based on a mediocre Diaz and a shot to hell ODLH.

How come undefeated Dimitriy Salita, IBF Light Welterweight Champion is ranked 70th in the world and he hasn't had any big names thrown at him? What about a unification fight, or a top 10 ranked fighter. Salita needs some tougher challenges to see if he can be placed amongst Hatton, Pacqiaou and Holt, but no you've got Giuseppe Lauri ranked 18th in the world and he has 6 losses, something is wrong in the light welterweight division.

This thread is ridiculous.

Is Pacman regarded as a better fighter than hatton? Yes, undoubtedly.

Does that mean he is a bigger draw and entitled to more money? No!

Hatton is the biggest draw in boxing today. He sold out 55,000 tickets against a nobody and regularly sold out the 20,000 M.E.N. Arena against bums handpicked by Frank Warren.

Hatton/Floyd did more PPV sales in the UK alone versus Pacman/DLH.

Who gets the bigger purse isn't about their ability or their likelyhood to win the fight - it is all about who is the bigger draw.

Hatton will generate more money for this fight than Pac - therefore Hatton is the bigger draw.

Ricky Hatton is still a relative unknown to boxing fans outside of the UK.


Pacquiao is easily the more universally popular and more globally recognized fighter, so he WILL get the lion's share of the fight purse.

Besides, like I've said, I don't see any other blockbuster PPV fight for Ricky, besides this one, so I would argue he needs this more than Manny does.

Got a crystal ball? That remains to be seen.

David Diaz = Ground Beef
Oscar De La Hoya = Chump quit on his stool
Ricky Hatton = Bloody Masscre, Hatton left on the canvas.

Dont be blind of Pac's capabilities.

I know you didn't just compare Haatton to a garbage Diaz and a weight drained DLH, did you?

Pacquiao needs Hatton, Hatton dont need Pacquiao. Pacman should remember that.

Who else at 140 if he's the top man in that division. He aint going back up to 147 cause we all know what happened there. (Check Hook). This is the only big fight for Hatton and he might as well take the offer on the table, but the outcome again is going to be the same. Pac by Brutal TKO over Hatton.

It is not about how well known Ricky/Pac is throughout the world, it's how much money they bring to the table.

Ricky guarantees approx 1m PPV sales in the UK and an estimated 20,000 people in Vegas.

Pac simply does not bring that to the table.

Hey, if the worst comes to the worst - Ricky'll fight DLH at Wembley in front of 100,000 fans and probably get around 1m US/UK PPV buys.

He'd make as much from that fight as a Pac fight.

Your just like the rest of them that give excuses for Pacs victory. Ill say it now and quote me

Pac by Brutal KO over Hatton.

Hatton is not on Pacs level. TRUST ME.. Save yourself the excuses...
