Apparently whilst less, Pac is getting all the Phillipine earnigns pretty much!?! So yes your correct, he's quite within his right to say that.

You can't say, you can't touch my local dough but I'll have some of your thanks. Talk about having your cake and eating it.

why is hatton squabbling over 3%? you guys say hatton makes bank whoever he fights anyways.

Somehow I'm not really excited for this fight, just like Pac DLH.

There are better fights coming up like Mosley-Margarito and Cintron-Martinez.

I hope Calderon lands with Sosa hyped for the Cotto fight but I think Cotto is not going to have any problems with Jennings,

Riiiiiiighttt....

Its the principle of it. He was promised a 50/50 split. I wouldnt budge if i was Hatton.

That was based on earlier speculation in the UK paper The Guardian. Pac himself has never agreed to 52/48.

Hehehehe this fight will not happen, Pacman should throw the contract in the garbage can. LOL

Arum is also a big **** fooling Pacman, his greatest fighter remain....

The 55/45 deal Pac was offered a day or so ago was that Hatton would get 55/45 of UK PPV, Pac would get 55/45 of everything else (apart from the Philippines TV rights, which he's getting 100% of); and it's not clear from the OP whether that's the deal that Pac says he's agreeing to, or whether he's still holding out for 55/45 of everything.

In the meantime, according to the UK's Daily Mail, Arum says he's been forced to pay Pac out of his own pocket to save the deal:

Boxing promoter Bob Arum revealed he has paid Manny Pacquiao extra money out of his own pocket to make sure the Filipino agreed to fight Ricky Hatton.

Both fighters are believed to have been guaranteed £7.8million, but Arum has topped up Pacquiao’s guarantee after the fighter threatened to pull out.

Arum said: ‘If Manny’s people sat like business people instead of playing games we could have saved a lot of time and it could have been done easier.’

I've not been too bothered by all this money talk, just thought they'd get the fight sorted. Pacman is being an idiot. Hatton should take 45% and smash him to bits. I think this is pacmans last big fight for awhile.
