Manny Pacquiao Reportedly Still Wants 60-40 For Hatton

[Dave Rado]

I think Manny and Roach have seen something they don't like in Hatton. Rejecting a 50-50 makes no sense. Manny will be making more than Floyd did against Hatton.

Roach wants Manny to accept the 50/50.

This is just about Manny's win over DLH going to his head, IMO.

There's an article on this very site recently quoting Roach as saying 50/50 is fair and he'll try to make his man realise that.

I agree Manny deserves some criticism here, but careful not to get to predictable and broad by essentially saying, oh he and his trainer must be frightened of him.

So, Pacman stop listening to those idiots around you and take the 50/50 split.

The "idiots around him" are now advising him to accept 50/50 and he said no to them in a text message, according to the report.

Like you said "according to a report", it's all hear say. He has too many people around him getting free rides.

Bring it on Pac fans, Pac is not a draw, he's big in the Phillipines. Outside from that he is an exciting fighter, that the casual fan doesn't know who he is. The people that come to see his fights and have good seats are people that Pac gave the tickets to. In the Phillipines they get to watch his fights for free. I like watching him fight, but I would never order his PPV fights. He got exposure from fighting Barrera, Morales, Marquez and DLH, with all this exposure he still isn't the draw. So, Pacman stop listening to those idiots around you and take the 50/50 split. No true boxing fan can deny that you are an exciting fighter, but you are not the draw. Like I said in the beginning, bring it on Pac fans........

domestically both have followers but worldwide manny is more well-known, he has a lot more exposure than hatton in the US etc etc.. if hatton is such a big draw, how much did he made again in the malignaggi fight? **** it aint even PPV. how can you say or quantify that hatton brings more if has less exposure worldwide? he brings only british followers idiot.

Hatton sold just shot of 1,000,000 PPV against Malinaggi. that's just over 200k short of what Pacman drew fighting Oscar who accounted for about 1,000,000 himself.

Pacman is nothing like the draw Hatton is, Pacmans biggest PPV, 1.4 million worldwide, hatton's biggest PPV, 2.3 million worldwide.

YOU do the Maths.

The UK PPV for Mayweather-Hatton was greater than the total worldwide PPV for DLH-Pacquiao.

Manny!

Just take the 50-50 and give people the fight you greedy squinty eyed ****!

[blazingeo]

I'm not going to call u names b/c i don't roll like that and it's childish. That's my whole point, with all that exposure you would think he's a household name but he isn't. Hatton didn't need to be on PPV to make money, just b/c you're not on PPV doesn't mean he doesn't have exposure.

Honestly, if this fight doesn't happen because of money I'm gonna be so ****ing disgusted. Both guys are still going to make a **** load of loot either way. Both dudes are set financially so I refuse to be one of those fans that say "well they deserve to get paid well". They're getting paid well regardless of a 10% difference. It's one thing when a fighter gets his big break but when people start turning into diva's like this, I makes me sour. I love boxing, but this type of **** is a perfect example of boxing's self-inflicted wounds. Gentleman, make the ****ing fight already, your fans want to see it.
