Manny Pacquiao Agrees To 50-50 Split For Hatton Bout

[OnePunch]

good boy Pacquiao. I didnt think you would give up this fight just because of the purse bid, but I have to admit I was getting a little worried.

oh man...I cant wait.


and you know what, I didnt think I would do this, but I give a thumbs up to Arum. he fixed this little problem and is actually trying to make his Pavlik and Cotto PPV worthwhile by adding on Clottey vs. Cintron on it. hes not perfect, but hes doing a real good job right now.
keep up the good work, keep making the best fights.

dont pop the champagne just yet. Word is that Cintron is now facing Martinez on the Feb 14 HBO card......

I like, and have equal respect for both fighters. Im torn on this one. If i was a betting man, i would have to put my money on Pac though! Its one of those fights where i dont want either fighter to lose. Its gonna be a great show though!

This was the same song and dance they did with the DLH fight with the split issue. In the end they all worked out. Let's get it on!

yep, just read that.

doesnt matter, Im going to a bar to watch the PPV anyway, I aint spendin 50 bucks on it.
hopefully they do add another meaningful fight on that PPV card though, or itll be pretty weak.

LOL! My feelings too. But this controversy has backfired on Manny, it's just made him look bad, and he's gained nothing. But bring on the fight!

[americanme]

i'm glad he came too his senses...he was bugging and letting the hype get to him. Can't wait for this fight, will get a lot of answers about fighters and their trainers.

you have no idea what was going on.. so please...

[Mayfeather]

Im glad Manny has agreed to this because this is going to be an awesome fight

It was a slight mistake imo on their part to verbally agreed on 50-50 split prior to the 60-40 compromise. It should've been the other way around. Lets get it on.

[Bogler]

Good to know... but did Pacquiao really ever think he was going to get 60% over Hatton? Or was this buying time for some unknown reason? Maybe there were secret Pac-PBF talks going on and Pac needed to buy a few days... ooh... conspiracy.... but not outrageous!

What was outrageous was Pac thinking he deserved the lion's share

if you read the article carefully, then you'd know why they wanted a 60-40, and why they now agreed to a 50-50 split.

But they should have talked to Arum before making those assumptions and making public statements that backfired on them.
