    Greed - boxing's biggest black eye

    I wish the fighters today would just be fighters and not greedy business men. I don't understand it. Pacman is asking for 60-40 against a fighter who draws more fans and holds the title. Hey Pacman, just because you beat Oscar in your last fight doesn't mean you're the new golden boy. If anyone deserves more money for this fight it's Hatton.

    It just angers me that Manny would try and ruin a potentially great and profitable fight by being greedy. He's already going to make millions for the fight, so what's the point of trying to get the lion's share?

    This whole thing has turned me away from Pacman as a fighter. A guy who I once saw as a fearless, fight anyone, type of guy has into someone no better then De La Hoya or Floyd. I just hope he won't hunt the biggest payday and avoid the real challenges for the rest of his career, because it would really be a shame.

    As for Ricky Hatton, well...

    I usually can't stand this kinda ****, but I feel where Pac's comin from. He had to take like a 70-30 split wit DLH when he was at a huge disadvantage, and won it big. He's got a right to want more $, but if it comes down to 50-50 or no fight, ****in ******ed for him to blow this fight.

      I don't think he deserves any more then Hatton. I don't see thousands of Pinoys flying to Vegas like Hatton's fans. I would like someone to ask Manny "why do you deserve more money?" Because he's #1 P$P? Nope, Floyd and Manny got less against Oscar. Because he's the champion? Nope, he's not, Ricky is. Because he's a bigger draw? Haha, maybe in Manila.

      I just don't get it.
