Manny Pacquiao Reportedly Still Wants 60-40 For Hatton

[GTL]

Pacman dont give a **** about the money..
His promoters and Lawyers do..

50/50 split is fair. Hatton still has a bit more drawing power..

[glenmores]

manny has the right

Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao is standing firm by his decision demanding a 60-40 revenue split in his megabuck showdown with IBO light welterweight champion Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton planned for Las Vegas on May 2. [details]

Manny has the right to get the bigger purse. No 60/40, no fight. That's right. Fight someone even less money as long as you have a higher share. Money can't buy pride. Who is the Pound for pound No. 1? Hatton is not even there. The question as to who brings more money is irrelevant as to who get the bigger share. Fair is fair the ring is square.

oh i thought it is be resolved.

Give it up Pac, you are embarassing yourself a bit. If you lose to Hatton you will feel you were unworthy of extra cash. DOnt put pressure on yourself when you dont need it.

[aether]

this is about pride i think. more than the money itself. 60-40 or 50-50, its still a butt load of $$$$$. pac thinks he has the right to demand the biggest share cause he's #1 p4p.

i don't really give jack **** what the fighters get. just make this happen.

[glenmores]

if Manny agrees with what Hatton wants, he's knocked out already even before the fight.

[lcheezy]

stand firm manny and don't give in. Bob Arum is trying to **** you over like he did to mayweather,cotto,clottey,and margarito. bob arum really got margarito real good from 2005 up to the cotto fight. he ****ed margie good now he's trying to **** over manny. arum and de la hoya are buddies behind closed doors.

Argh......!!!!! Its like a game of Tag your it..... I would agree this is a way to hype up the fight, get peoples attention that the fight might not happen and then it does.

Oh well, I know its still going to go down. Watch them work it out.

[Dave Rado]

its not manny talking but his greedy a.hole advicer gacal...

I'm afraid you're wrong - it was Manny himself who sent the text message saying no, whereas his lawyer was in favour of the deal.

[Dave Rado]

I'm not sure if Pacquiao is to blame for it though because word is that he's getting influenced by his advisers to not take 50-50, I'm kind of disappointed that he's listening to them.

No, his advisers are now saying to accept 50/50, and it's Manny himself who is saying no (in a text message to them), according to the report.
