Hatton Won't Budge From 50-50 Deal For Pacquiao Fight

[S A M U R A I]

I'm just saying that right now there are three fighters in their early 30s who fans want to see fight. It'd be a shame if they didn't all fight each other. It's not a knock on the Pacman, but boxing needs him to fight Hatton and Mayweather. And 50% of the pot with Hatton is a whole lot of money. Maybe more than he made to fight Oscar.

Totally agree man.

45/45 winner gets the 10% Don't worry about this fight not getting made. Either the networks or promoters will compensate and release some more of the cash that these guys will generate.

Don't believe all these bull****.
The fight is still going to happen. It's purpose is just to hype up the fight.
This was the same bull**** that occured before the pacquiao vs oscar fight .

I honestly don't think he'll negotiate his way out. This is just business tactics. The fight will be made, it's a huge event. They should go 50/50 though. Most definitely. As Roy would say.

I don't know if Pac's team's pride would let them back down after they've said they won't accept 50/50. To them it seems to be about getting the respect DLH used to get, now that Pac has beaten DLH, but that's not how business works.

And it looks like Hatton's team's pride may not let them back down from 50/50 either. To them it seems to be about the fact that an agreement had already been made, and now as they see it, Pac is reneging on what he had already agreed to. They think Hatton's being messed around.

The thing is, on both sides, it's not really about money, IMO, it's about respect.

I hope you're right, but I'm not convinced. So many fighters have negotiated their way out of the fights everyone wanted to see in the past, and it looks to me as if both sides may be painting themselves into a corner now. If so, it would be crazy, in neither of their interests, and terrible for boxing.

I think 55/45 with PacMan getting a little higher share is reasonable!
If the fight will not push through, I think Hatton will be the BIG losser~

Aside from Pacquiao & Mayweather, I don't think Hatton can get $6M.
Where as PacMan can get this number easily with anyone he decides fights!

I'm confident this fight will be made on May 2 though~~~
It's like POKER~ Bluffs here, bluffs there... in the end someone will give-in!!!

You ain't going to treat Hatton like a chump and belive he'll jump for you. **** no, Hatton is the man at 140, and Pac would be lucky if Hatton fights him cause Hatton can stay in Manchester fight any opponet and make millions. Pacquiao needs Hatton, but Hatton don't need Pacquiao.

Ricky Hatton is no fool!

what!!! no way. pac does not need hatton. hatton needs pac. when was hattons last quality win against a guy in his prime. and dont even say paulie. hatton needs pac to solidify his legacy. which i believe doesnt have much of a legacy. beating guys past there prime. hand picking opponents. not even fighting the best JWW in my opinion in junior witter

If Ricky Hatton can earn so much fighting in England then why doesn't he do it? I am sick of hearing about this chump what has he accomplished? His only quality fighter was Koysta Tsyzu and he fought him when Kosta was over the hill and that fight was more of a hug match than anything, Hatton who hit run and hug I mean WTF? Now if he wants to fight the number 1 pound for pound fighter in the world he needs to earn it, as far as I am concerend maybe they can do winner takes 60% and loser takes 40% which I gurantee you it will be Hatton.

Lets see... one guy has 1 PPV on his resume that was carried by Mayweather

The other guy have 10 back to back PPV fights....

Who does Hatton think he is?

The deal is 60/40...
