Pacquiao turned down hatton for mayweather

[Chups]

I don't know, assuming Margarito beats Mosley, Pacquiao says he wants a fight at 143. But Margarito says he doesn't think he could make it that far down, and I don't think Mosley could either.

If they are going to fight, it's gonna be at Margarito's weight of 147.

[apsrising]

see how much money he was giving to his fat entourage

On top of that, Pacquiao is sponsoring a medical clinic, a foundation and schools for poor people in his country. I've also seen footages of him giving away food - lots of it. Like 10 thousand sacks of rice or something and the line is very long.

But, to beat little floyd and beat him like he beat dela hoya would put him in the top 10 as greatest fighter...who knows maybe he will agree to the hatton fight and maybe floyd will stay retire...we will know sooner or later...

Respect? I'm sorry, but anyone who's been paying attention to the negotiations has to have lost respect for Pac right now.

Breaking your word doesn't earn anybody respect.

Who said he broke his word? It is Arum who went ahead of Manny without even consulting him with regards the 50/50 split.

Someone said that a paquiao vs mayweather fight wouldn,t generate the same dollars as a paquiao vs hatton fight and i believe that because floyd is a boring fighter and anyone that buys that fight would probably want there money back but, a hatton vs manny fight would be fireworks...i think if manny could get floyd to come out of retirement and he,d agree to a fight for p4p the best ever in our generation, i can see him turning down hatton and anyway paquiao is the most exciting fighter today...and i think he should get 55-45 period but, a fight with floyd would be something like this-(the day the earth stood still) a fight for p4p royalty...i,ve patent this title so no one can use it unless they contact me personally with dollar amount for title...so bob if your reading this give me a call...

Don't underestimate the hate most people has to Gayweather, I for one is willing to pay hundred even thousand of dollar to see his ass whooped by the little guy.

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've said before that if I were manny, I would try and get floyd before fighting hatton just on the basis if Manny were to lose to mayweather, he could still have a huge fight with hatton, but if he were to lose to hatton, then there would certainly not be a fight with mayweather.

but as of right now, mayweather hasnt' said anything to the press about coming back. last weekend or so ago, i posted a thread about how a customer of mine ran into floyd and asked about pacquiao and mayweather said that he would was gonna " kill him in the ring ", but mayweather hasn't said anything to fans or the press. so as of right now, mayweather is off the table, and hatton is right here now.

pacquiao-hatton is a great match up, i think a fight between these two would be exciting, manny just needs to come back down to planet earth and take his HALF of the pie. half is better than nothing......... and nothing is what manny's going to get if the fight doesn't come through. common sense says and is, hatton brings more money to the table than anyone pacquaio is ever going to fight................

[Bhopreign]

I've said all along the fight for Pacquaio is to fight Floyd first because the Hatton fight will always be there. But if he lost to Hatton first then the Floyd fight wont be there, Freddie Roach is a smart guy.

Really??? LOL

Let's see...

The 2 #1 P4P fighters of the last 10 years fighting to end a decade to see who the real #1 fighter in the world is. Tough sell huh? LOL. Also, what makes you think Hatton is this all action fighter? He's a brawler, but in no way is an action fighter ala Marquez and Pacquiao...

Mark my words that if and when this fight is announced it'll sell out within minutes. PPV buys = through the roof, 24/7, viral marketing,...**** need I go on?

The Hatton vs Pacquiao fight will be made, I have no doubt about that. But in now way does it make more than a Floyd return against Pacquiao...

I'd put "real" money on that

[BetterCallSaul]

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

Pacman's team Agreed in principle before the ODLH fight in a conference call to 50/50.

I read somewhere this wasn't the case, someone assumed and sent the message to team hatton.
