    Calzaghe did it right.

    He waited to fight Roy Jones and BHop when he was free of Frank Warren so he could pocket more money that way.

    It was brilliant.

    It's all about the loot.

        Come on man. My point was that Hatton wants to be considered great. He makes this very clear by constantly talking about "P4P #1" in interviews. I saw one the other day where he mentioned it 4 times in one small paragraph. He needs someone like Mayweather or Pacquiao for that. My first reply in the thread was to disagree with someone who said Hatton doesn't need Pacquiao. I firmly believe he does, otherwise he becomes an average fighter who didn't quite reach the top of the game. Hatton got stopped by an elite, then walked away from a shot at becoming greater because of a petty disagreement about 5% of the pay from one fight.

        A 45% instead of 50% cut of the money would not make that much difference in the long term. It'd be better to take 45% and have a shot at beating the P4P #1 fighter than earn a bit more money. He could fight a pizza delivery boy in Manchester and earn that, but instead he considers throwing an opportunity away? That's not a good idea.

        To become greater, he needs to take a chance and say "**** the money, I'll kick your ass anyway."

            He can get big paydays, fighting on his home court, against all kinds of fighters.
            There is no reason Hatton should give in to a 40-60 split, especially when hes the defending champion who brings in most of the money. I wouldnt do it if I were him, either.
            And this is coming from a guy who loves Pacman.
            ^^^^^^^^^^
            Co-sign, I'm a huge fan of Pac, like Hatton as well BUT heres the thing...

            Hatton can easily sellout a stadium(80k) in the UK fighting some no name, Pac can probably do the same thing in the Filipines, BUT the difference is that UK money is valued more than the U.S. dollar which in turn is way more valued then the peso in the filipines....put that **** together and Hatton would make like triple the amouth Pac would earn fighting a nobody...
            Hatton is bringing a **** load more money that Pac is, when was the last time you saw someone just give away money? Thats basically what they are asking Hatton to do...

                5% of 30 million dollars is 1.5 million dollars. that's a lot of money for a chance. this is business. i am sure they will get it sorted it out.
                just saying- legacy is one thing, leaving over a million on the table is another.

                    **** all this,if anything hatton should be getting 60%! Its laughable that you should think hatton should accept 40%,how is that a good deal? 50% is a fair deal for both fighters,possibly a generous deal for pacman.he should take it,because if this fight doesnt happen because of this rediculous demand,then pacman is going to look like a bender
