Pacquiao turned down hatton for mayweather

[Spacey1991]

To be fair, I think the demand for 60/40 is just for more money not to fight Mayweather instead. I don't know whether he is going to fight Mayweather or whether Mayweather is coming out of retirement or not... I need proof before I start thinking it will happen. Either way, the better idea for Pacquiao and Hatton would be to fight each other then the winner of that fight possibly fighting Floyd (possibly).

pac is doing this to get more money! Are people seriously suggesting the reason he is not going to take this fight is on the basis that he just MIGHT be able to get a fight with floyd mayweather, give me a break. Mayweather is retired, get over it! And just for the record, open your eyes people, do you really think pacquiao would beat mayweather??? There is a massive difference between beating a 40% de la hoya and the greatest boxer of his generation. Pacs ability to fight at welterweight is still unproven i believe.

lol somebody is bitter! hahaha... Be objective man, the fight with DLH cemented Pacquiao's legacy. We all thought he has no chance to win it and he proved us wrong. That is legacy - David vs Goliath and little David won!

You just said to be objective? You forgot to mention that Goliath was extremely weight drained and not anywhere close to his formal self buddy.

Mayweather will beat Pacquiao worse than he did Hatton. KO before 10.

lol
I like Hatton but he's nowhere near the level of pcaquiao.

[MANGLER]

I hope not.

Only speculation but, if paquiao does get this fight with mayweather then we will know why he priced himself out of the hatton fight...like i said before pacquiao isn,t thinking about the money he,s thinking about immortalizing his career in boxing and he,s probably thinking if he don,t fight floyd now then he probably won,t because floyd will retire again, oh i mean run away from any threat...floyd already fought hatton and won regardless to joe cortez so i think pacman would be the logical choice...right now i think floyd would lose to either guy and we know he k.o. Hatton but i think hatton wouldn,t get out of his game plan and we all know how much of a buzzsaw manny is so either way, because you can best believe that after this fight floyd invincibility will no longer exist...

nah, pac wants money now he already got the accomplishments. its hatton that needs accomplishments, but he has to be willing to pay for it with $$$.

Well let,s see how much of the fight do hatton wants for his legacy because he,s rolling in dough...

[HappyBoxingFan]

Hey folks, i believe that manny turned down hatton for a fight against floyd...manny,s probably thinking that a fight with floyd would seal his legacy in boxing or better yet is like putting the icing on the cake...that would be the only reason pacman is backing out of this deal because like someone said that both guys are going to make millions but, manny is thinking legacy i say again...maybe we will here very soon if floyd is coming back and if so, look out... Any thoughts???

I dn't think so. Arum wouldn't be making the quotes he is now. No one has to look bad in a situation like this, least of all the fighter. The fact that Manny Pacquiao is being left out to dry makes me believe that Arum is genuinely hurt or mad or both.

A fight with Mayweather may very well happen... but, Hatton wasn't turned down for Mayweather.
