Manny Pacquiao Reportedly Still Wants 60-40 For Hatton

[theggamme209]

Manny should be lucky he's getting 50/50! Hatton and marquez are the only fighters who can make manny big money! In this horrible economy, people shouldn't be getting GREEDY!

Just wondering why PAC is being forced to accept 70/30 against DLH. Being forced to accept less that 50% against JMM in their 2005 rematch negotiation.

Now PAC being labeled greedy, after superb accomplishment in 2008, just asking 60/40 for the match with Hatton.

Just asking, when would be the time PAC stopped being the underdog in the fight and negotiations. I still wonder!!

How can pacman claim more then hatton??? he brings nothing to the pot at all. The philipines show his figths free you know. The uk will double american viewings (im not even including western euorpe) and hatton will have the majority crowd.

Stop claming its his lawyers and advisors too!!! Has pacman suddenly turned spastic and cant make a decision for himself?????

Hatton's neither!! If PAC brings nothing to the pot at all, why are there so many interested in the bout. It's not just the Philippines nor UK wants to see this fight. It's just arrogant for you to think that it is only UK contributes to the pot. Hatton will also be at the loss if this fight did not happen.

30 thousand Brits coming to Las Vegas? Hey, don't forget that there are already millions of Filipinos in and around Las Vegas ready to pack any fight venue and watch the PPV in America. Count in his other countless fans to do the same and you won't need anymore Filipinos from the Philippines to beat the fanatical Brits in their own game.

It's Ricky who is salivating to fight Manny in the hope of making a surge in the P4P rankings and gain the lofty status people don't give him except for his countrymen. Pacquiao is on top of the heap and can decide to be generous with Hatton and give him a shot to stardom---and that comes at a price (60/40).

So wats you argument youve given arguments for hatton and then just said but pcaman should have 60/40. Hes gone against his word and 50/50 is more then reasonable.

You just assumed it is PAC who goes against his word. Remember, until they signed the contract, nothing is agreed upon.

You don't make sense. How can it be good business for Pac to walk away from this fight, which he currently seems to be intent on doing? 60% of nothing is nothing. And Roach and Arum are not "arm chair" experts on the internet, they are Pac's trainer and Pac's promoter. And they're both telling Pac to stop being ******, and to sign.

Hatton has generated more than half a million PPV in every one of his fights in the last 5 years. He wouldn't generate as much in a single fight against anyone else as he would against Pac, but he'd generate far more against a Bradley or Holt than Pac could generate against anyone but Hatton or Mayweather.

Manny is not only fighting for the "Big slice of the Pie", he is also fighting for self-respect and self-preservation. If he accepts the offer of GBP & Ricky Hatton, every average-skilled boxer with a good promoter that will come to challenge and fight him would like to get the "equal share of the pie or much bigger" coz they knew that they can arm-wrestle him to give way. He can demand now coz his on "TOP". Hatton can fight bums in Britain and get a big PPV numbers but what he will never get in a global scale is RESPECT, unless he Fight and Beats PACMAN. Pro Sports is Business, let those who are directly involve run that affair... whether it's a 50-50 or a 60-40, Manny Pacquiao has less to gain in terms of stature if he beats Ricky Hatton but he has alot to lose if Ricky beats him. So to compensate for that scenario the later(60-40) has more weight. Sports business like every business is both tricky and calculated thats why self-preservation is always highest priority.

Then are we to assume that there must be two tallies? One for Official worldwide HBO and one that includes UK PPV.

HBO has 850K buys plus add 1,000K UK PPV buys. Is that it? hmmm.... UK is lot bigger than worldwide. UK sells at 14pounds per ppv compared to 55USD. hmmm.... How are we goin to compare then? What would be the official highest PPV buys?

See here. The HBO figures definitely did not include UK sales. Sky estimates UK PPV sales at between 1.2 million and 1.4 million (exact figures to be announced later this month). You're right that there's no easy way to compare them with US sales though, given the price discrepancy.

That's wrong on two levels. First, no-one other than De La Hoya brings as much money to the table as Hatton does, so claiming it would set some kind of precedent is crazy.

Second, Arum says that Pac did accept 50/50 and then reneged on the deal. At the very least, even if Arum is bull****ting, Pac should have told Arum what his bottom line was before sending him to negotiate on his behalf, not wait until after a deal is agreed and then say no to it.

Manny Pacquiao has less to gain in terms of stature if he beats Ricky Hatton but he has alot to lose if Ricky beats him.

Hatton has more to gain in terms of respect but Pac also has a huge amount to gain. It would given him the Ring and lineal title at another weight class, which would be a huge achievement. And Hatton has a lot to lose, because Pac is the strong favourite.
