Binding verbal contracts? Only in Great Britain.

A verbal contract can be just as binding as a written one.

According to Ricky Hatton's legal counsel, Gareth Williams, they have a binding verbal contract to fight Manny Pacquiao on May 2 with an agreed upon 50-50 split. Two days ago, Pacquiao's lawyer, Franklin Gacal, told reporters that Manny will not accept an equal split of the money. He said Pacquiao is looking for a 60-40 split. Hatton refuses to fight Pacquiao for anything less than a 50-50 split. [details]

"Ricky brings as much to the table as Manny".

That is BS. Manny Pacquiao has sold decently-to-solidly on PPV. Ricky Hatton has never sold a PPV. The only PPV fight Hatton has ever appreared on was with Mayweather. All of Hatton's other fights were on WCB. In fact, just within the past year, Hatton was fighting on Versus. Hatton sells a live gate. Not PPV.


Manny deserves the bigger share. Hatton should win this fight...but Manny deserves the bigger share.

You are dumb. Hatton has sold millions in UK PPV. Now get back to school.

Seldom.

You need objective witnesses (or an admission of truth) for a binding verbal. Do you think Arum will say "Yeah, I agreed to pay 50/50"? Would Arum ever admit that?

Thsi is a US domestic fight with HBO Boxing broadcast rights. The fight is in Vegas. Not Wembley.

It's funny when people who don't understand the business try to comment and throw insults.
