Pacquiao Vs Hatton...Class Warfare

[FatNJerseykid]

Pacquiao Vs Hatton has special meaning to the oppressed, poor, and hard working people in the world. In one corner, Hatton represents the "white man" not in terms of race but in terms of class. Hatton's group has historically ****d, pilage, and plundered around the world. They control most of the world's wealth and employ the lower classes.

On the other corner, we have Manny Pacquiao, a man who through hard work has transcended poverty in his native country. He brings inspiration and hope to anyone who dares to dream.

On May 2, Pacquiao will bear all the frustrations of working class on Ricky Hatton. Domestic Helpers, Nannies, Butlers, Janitors, Caregivers, Nurses, Drivers, and Migrant Workers, etc., will have their night. This is the opportunity of the working to finally "flip off" their bosses and masters.

A victory for Pacquiao will be a small but satisfying relief to the working even for just one night.

A 50/50 split of the prize money is fair but a 60/40 split for Pacquiao would have been JUST. Hatton will bring in the rich to pay for the luxury and front row seats. However, Pacquiao will bring the common man who can't be there, but can watch it on PPV. 60/40 is a dream of every hardworking person in the world. Imagine for 1 night you will be making more than the "white man."

No other fight and no other fighters can bring this emotion to the people.
It is no longer about "national pride" but about the dignity of every hardworking individual. Let the battle begin.

Ricky Hatton grew up on a council estate in Britain. He was extremely poor. I'm not suggesting for a second that he had problems that amount to anything like the problems Manny Pacquiao had growing up, but it's ignorant to suggest that Ricky Hatton represents 'the white man wealth'. Hatton is rich because he has earned it in the ring and out of the ring by being a talisman for the working class in Britain.

[Left Hook Tua]

who cares?

pacquiao is fighting for money.

he's just a boxer.

he ain't representing ****.

i hate when people try to make meaningless athletes seem more important than they are.

is pac a feel good story? a cinderella story? yes.

does he do a lot to help poor people? i'm sure he does.

but that's about it. he's a great fighter with a lot of money who a lot of people look up to and wish they could be like.

that's it.

I'm not saying that Ricky Hatton is Rich, but in this fight he represents the rich. It's just symbolism.

Hatton comes from a council estate in Stockport, he's about as much a rich man as Oliver ****ing Twist.

Mayweather could have sold it like Hopkins did with the "white boy" comment with Calzaghe. Maybe he could have gotten more PPV buys.

Why does he represent this? Why does Manny Pacquiao represent the working class? You're not making a lot of sense.
