If Pacquaio can't accept 50/50 it shows he doesnt care about legacy.

It is Ricky Hatton's fault if the fight does not happen. He is the one desperate to fight Pacquiao for his legacy. Also, he is using the old "rich country, poor country" recruiting routine, in which rich nations pay foriegn empolyees significantly less than the citizens. However, Manny is already a rich man and doesn't have to "jump for the OPPORTUNITY" to fight Hatton. If Manny was British he would have gotten 60-40 easily.

Nah, ricky is a good guy. this is business, not nationalistic chauvinism.

they are both good blokes.

don't read more into it than it is. negotiating the best way you can.

LoL, fighting Hatton does NOTHING for him. Who is Hatton now? Is he even on a P4P ranking? He was already TKOed by Floyd which makes any win by Manny less appealing unless he dominates him even moreso. Manny just wants the biggest paychecks he can get now before leaving. It's no secret he wants out soon and wants to make the most money possible. I don't blame him. It's sad that only now people will notice him, but he's been doing a lot since 2003. His legacy has been cemented already. Anything else is really the tip of the iceberg. I say get the most money now and bounce.

When PAC gave OLDH a beatdown last december, he already carved his "Boxing Legacy" in granite stones. The fight with Hatton is more of "financial stability" rather than legacy. Hatton has more to gain in this fight than Manny, so he should also giveway more financially.

Hatton is young and fresh

hatton's older than morales , barrera and marquez the first time pacquiao kicked their asses.

He's no different than Mayweather. All you *******s that knocked Mayweather need to knock Pac. Both men are on the same level as popularity in boxing and both should paid evenly. If Pac cares that much about a few million dollars he obviously doesn't care about his legacy or the sport of boxing. Hatton not accepting less than 50% is the right move simply on pride and whats fair when it comes to drawing power. Get bent Money Pac. Have fun fighting Valero infront of 9000 people.

DUMBASS.

pac and pbfs legacy are already solid.

DUMBASS.

'Icing on the cake' sounds better.

Are you comparing there level of opposition in the past few years? Pac is a LOT smaller than Floyd.

The dude is the new face of boxing.. 60-40 sounds very good for Hatton... Speaking of legacy Pac resume is ATG.. Hatton NVM....

Manny is ruining his legacy. I mean damn... his legacy was already is doubt before this fight with Hatton. All he did was four world titles in four different weight divisions in addition to being the p4p best in the world. I mean he has ducked everyone...

you are full of crap when you say he just did this. lets get it straight he is an all time great. name me another fighter to fight from fly to welter. only pac and henry armstrong have fought in three differnt weight divisions in one year. only 9 fighters in history have managed to win 4 world titles in different divisions. plus he is a 5 weight champ, he has fought more hof's than most and involved in classics. you need to leave the hate out the door.
