8countNews sat down with Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach and got his thoughts on the negotiation troubles plaguing the proposed Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton fight. Roach still feels like this fight can be made, however, both sides should move. When asked by 8CN if the fight will go on Roach replied, “I think the fight can happen, maybe at 55/45? But 60/40 in my opinion is fair. My guy (Pacquiao) beat De La Hoya, and Mayweather Knocked out Hatton.”
8CN brought up the point that the English fans would generate large PPV buys, thus making Hatton's 50/50 share just, and Roach replied, “That's true, the English fans would generate big PPV buys, with that said, my guy (Pacquiao) still just took apart Oscar De La Hoya, and Ricky Hatton lost to Floyd Mayweather Jr by knockout. I think both sides can move on this, and get this fight done, maybe at 55/45?”
8CN brought up the question, what if? What if Hatton's camp doesn't want to move and insist on a 50/50 split, Roach responded, “Then we will move on and fight Floyd Mayweather. The thing is, where are they (Hatton) going to go? Who else brings the kind of money to Hatton than Manny Pacquiao would?”
