Shocker: Hatton is Set To Walk Away From Pacquiao

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Lol.. The nuthugging word comes out.

Let me stay shut mate.

Who doesn't want to see this fight? Who is the bigger name? Who deserves the higher share? If I was Pacman I would demand the same.

You dont because you care more about Pacman getting paid. So yeh the nuthugger word does come out.

Pacman should take the 50 and be a man. Hes being well paid. VERY well paid.

The real culprit on the issue are the promoters who hastily agreed verbally without consulting the boxers. some boxing pundits claim that Hattons brings a lot of money on the table from UK PPV. look at the 200,000 buys with malinaggi.. is that the money were talking here? c'mon folks hatton only brings money if he fights P4P king and it is not him that is to be credited but the P4P king, right?

Y does everyone act as though it's not the promoters job to pick opponents & sell the fight to networks & negotiate prses on behalf of the fighter. Pacman himself says the same thing at the end of every fight when asked who he waould like to face next "I am "just" a fighter...My jo is to prepare for the fight, I will let my promoter tell me who I shoulld face next" So stop w/ this whle deal of Bob consulting w/ manny & get authoriation to agree to tis or say that.....That is his job. & he has authority to negotiate on the fighters behlf. And as bob quoted. He discussed the matter over dinner w/ manny entire team. So knock it off. This is something that came up afterwards...

This is great news! I'm glad that Pac's so ignorant an arrogant that he's going to let his biggest payday slip away. It's poetic justice or he just chickened out...

FTR, beating DLH doesn't make you DLH. I cant wait to see how much Pac gets in his next fight. I guarantee Ricky makes more.

Beckhan is more on a commercial model than an athlete.

Hatton is no David Beckham
Hatton has no looks of David Beckham
Hatton's wife is not a celeb

So there is no point if you compare Hatton to Bechham since they are not even close.


Lets go back to my analogy.. would you allow someone below your level in your office to have the same salary as you have? After having a bachelor's degree diploma I don't think you will allow that to happen.

Actually ur anology sucks or it works in reverse b/c commercially pacman hasn't proven to be superior to Ricky.

& Rado's example does make sense b/c he wasn'tt comparing Ricky's looks to beck's looks...He was comparing celebrity. Ricky is a celeb b/c like Pacman he's viewed aas a folk hero.. a people's champ so to speak. That's where his economic strength derives.

good ex. rado.

#1 Jr. welterweight for 5 years? c'mon folk I almost never heard such boxing body coz I used to check only the WBC, WBO & WBA champs only.

You've never heard of the lineal championship??? You think alphabet belts mean more than lineal championships?

And if you really think The Ring P4P ratings are a fraud, you're entitled to your opinion, but they're the most respected ratings in boxing, so you're just showing yourself up as ignorant.

The real culprit on the issue are the promoters who hastily agreed verbally without consulting the boxers

That's what Pac's followers want us to believe but I honestly don't find that credible. You are asking us to believe that one of the two most experienced living boxing promoters negotiated a legally binding agreement without his client's approval, and that he then told the press that his client had agreed to the deal when he hadn't. Arum is far too shrewd and far too experienced a businessman to make such an ass of himself as that, IMO.

Pacquaio's ill-advised advisers

Those people that surrounds Pacman has been detrimental for this mega-fight to be sealed off. He should sit down and negotiate personally with the Hatton and Goldenboy group and not just listened to his bunch of ill-advised advisers. He should take note that this same people are the ones who are advising him to run for a congressional seat, which for me is ridiculous. Also, Arum should stop acting like he's the promoter of Hatton. I hate the way he handles the situation.

[hammerhiem]

Hatton has only been Ring and Linear Champ for 3 1/2 years not 5, I know it's seems like he beat Tzsyu ages ago but it's only been three and a half.

[KJB]

Hatton should just accept. WTF.

Pacman came from a huge fight and dominated, and is a star as of now.

Hatton fought Paulie.... and?

****ing Fatton... He's pricing himself out.

EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT PACMAN! NOT HATTON!

Pacquioa is pricing himself out of the fight.
And frankly, I am starting to worry about where Pac is with his head right now. According to Boxingscene Freddie Roach has called Pac several times without getting a callback. If he is listening to some shady lawyer and wont even call back his trainer, thats a telltale sign that hes starting to lose his grounding.

[Addition]

Pac has been brainwashed by his lawyers, bunch of ****s.

Oh well, let him take his chances @ WW, I wish him luck because he's going to need it.
