    My Take on Hatton Pacman Split $$$$

    In Pacmans Defense...

    He is the #1 p4p fighter, and just beat the hell out of the biggest draw in boxing.... meanwhile Hatton got knocked out by Floyd... Hatton should be after legacy at this point and not care so much about the $$$... at least with this fight... this is his 2nd SHOT, at possibly beating the #1 p4p fighter... He should take the fight with whatever split just to get at a possible upset of the #1 fighter in the sport... again...


    In Hattons Defense...

    Hatton is just as much a draw, if not more, then Pacman... also, there fighting at 140, where Hatton is the actual Champion of that weight class, and that alone should not allow him to take less than 50% on any fight...


    I think I see both sides... the fight should be 50/50...

    But if Manny absolutely refuses... I think Hatton should give in... this is his 2nd chance to upset the #1 fighter in the sport, and not many get that chance...

    IMO Hatton should choose legacy over $$$ in this fight, and it would allow him to redeem his KO loss to Mayweather.


    If the fight takes place I have Pacman over Hatton.

    good post reed...

    manny's legacy is already sealed, hatton's isnt...

    not many fighters get a chance to fight a p4p # 1, let alone get another crack to redeem yourself against another p4p # 1.....

        I agree, i reckon Hatton should give Pacquiao all the U.K PPV revenue for this fight and kiss his ass after he does a renditon of "Para Sa 'Yo Ang Laban Na 'To" at Team Pacquiao's hotel.

          Agreed. The thing with PacMan though is I don't really think he cares about it being 60-40, he just wants the respect of being the best out there now and he would probably accept 55-45 if it was offered by team Hatton. Its not about the money really for Pac just the respect and recognition that they know he is the best right now and he just feels hes being disrespected with a 50-50 offer when Pac is the one building his legacy for trying to give fans the best fights available. Which is why I don't think he will hesitate to look for another fight even if its for less money.

          I would like if Pac accept 50-50 as a fight fan, but I can tell his mind is content of just getting the respect he deserves which to him people still don't respect him for what he has accomplished, which in my OP. is most likely the best in his era

            I think this is also his possible line of thinking... Hes got plenty of money, I dont think its the extra 10% of money he wants... just the respect of knowing he got the favored split because of everything hes doing...

              In Pacmans defense he has to fight a guy who has herpes ***** on his face. He wants the extra 10 percent as a medical liability. Just sayin.
