For those who believe 60-40 split is good for Manny i think you all are ****** bias nutthug.....
It should be 59-41 for Manny....Comment

its fair now since Manny is getting a cut from PPV buys in UK too.Comment

50-50 is fair. Both are very popular fighters but Hatton has the added edge of actually having a belt at 140.Comment

IDK i have been watching and listening about Ricky Hatton for a while now and I still think that the guy suffers major mental issues from his loss to Floyd. All these posts that I read about Ricky and not one mentions the fact that he had problems with two of his last fights. two WINS yes, but he had to work for them, harder then he should have. Records aside, I think Ricky is on the downslide of his career and most would probably agree, and so he needs a big WIN over someone like Floyd or Pac. ONLY then.. I think he should be able to call his shots for a 60-\40 match and thats only if he wins. truthfully, I think he would need a Floyd and a Pac under his belt to get his own show, cause you don't come for the thrown with TWO average performances. I didn't see anyone raving over his win of Paulie Maglinaggi nor did anyone say he was back to his old self after he won the decision against Lazcano. Realistically who doesn't think that he should have been able to belt Paulie into the second row if he was truly The Hit-man and a force to be reckoned with. As for fan support they both probably have an equally sized following. Pacman is the rising star so of course people are going to say he deserves more money, not to mention he devastates his opponent and has way more classic fights then The Fat-man so he probably has a slight advantage (knocking of a great like DLH probably does him some good as well.) but I can't help but have a lingering feeling that he hasn't beat that one guy who everyone will have to respect him for. I am eating my words as Im' writing this because I am thinking of his fights with EM and the legendary matches against JMM. For myself though I think he needs to prove that he is without a shadow of a doubt The Alpha and Omega. when they say Pacman people shouldn't say, well he should fight this guy or that guy. they should be saying "Man, Pac is going to ruin that guy he doesn't stand a chance. Look at all the credit people gave Kelly Pavlik and OVERNIGHT B-Hop put him back in his place. so I guess after all that, I would agree that the 50/50 split is fair until one of them proves that he IS "The Man", and at least in this case neither has done more or is more deserving then the other. But..Pac's recent win against DLH probably gives him just a little bit of a edge for knocking off a great but not enough to ask for more money. Not to mention Pacman isn't even about money so this is probably coming from The Suits. Pac probably just wants to kick some ass and hand out more free turkeys to his people
and give them a grand a week for losing weight..hahaha
And please don't be a smart ass and ask me if I know about his finances because i said his lawyers and managers are pushing for the money, I am only giving an opinion based on the character that Pac has shown on and off the screenComment

ummm what exactly was his problem in the malinaggi fight?not one mentions the fact that he had problems with two of his last fights. two WINS yes
he only lost 1 round, in fact come to think of it he only lost one round to Lazcano aswell.
malinaggi had never been stopped, not even by Cotto, do you just make **** up or are you trying to be ****** deliberately?Realistically who doesn't think that he should have been able to belt Paulie into the second row if he was truly The Hit-man and a force to be reckoned with.Comment

I guess my point was that they were average wins. he didn't dominate these guys. he should have knocked Paulie's head off, and Lazcano most people (myself included) felt that it was a very lackluster performance. Im' not trying to take his wins away but come on, if you put those two fighters in the ring with Pac do you think they would have went the distance? Paulie would have fell probably 3 rounds earlier and the Lazcano match if anything would have just been a good boxing fight to watch and a chance for Pac to show off his skills. When I watch Hatton during that fight he looked like his basic movement was unsure, and like he was scared to punch. sometimes punching off balance. I didn't say he lost on the cards because come on, you can't always go off what the judges are scoring. Who knows what they are thinking sometimes.Comment

and if I am making stuff up please tell me what it is? I don't think I said he lost to paulie or juan, or he is unskilled or that he is a bum? nope, just gave my opinion. so what are you talking about my friend?Comment

well forgive me for being realistic here, but nobody expected hatton to how did you put it...
Knock malinaggi into the second row?
The guy went 8 round with a broken face against Cotto from christ sake, the only people who had Hatton for a Ko win where the hardcore nuthuggers and a smattering of people who thought he might be vulnerable to bodyshots.
he lost 2 rounds in two fights, one to the guy 80% of people said was the No2 in the division and 35% said would win, and yet he has problems? Jesus it's hard to please some folk...Comment
