Who's to blame for the Pac/Hatton fight falling apart?

Easy.... PACQUIAO is to blame. When your promoter and father-like trainer can't even get in touch with you to talk some sense into you, you're just being difficult and throwing the matchup.

Apparently these fighters think the whole P4P rankings actually mean something.

Thats what I think.... you know, p4p the best isn't the same as $4$ the biggest draw. Tyson-Bowe would be a bigger draw right now.... and look at where those guys are.

At the end of the day, its all about who puts more asses in seats, and who generates more ppv buys. Worldwide, Hatton generates more money than Pac. A 50/50 split, with a percentage of UK ppv revenue going to Pac is more than fair. Pac is an ass for letting this fight fall to ****. Although i respect what he's accomplished, he just lost a HUGE fan!

Someone or somebody agreed a 50-50 spilt before contracts were signed?

Someone or somebody then went away, changed their mind and demanded 60%?

That someone or somebody wasn't Hatton?!?

Carry on.

I'm sure pac is going to have countless sleepless nights because he lost YOU as a fan.

Hatton is at fault here. The fat Brit Leprachaun thinks he's worth more than he really is. Pac is P4P#1. HE calls the shots, not Fat Boy Rickie.

I seem to recall a situation sometime ago when the world p4p of the time,Floyd Mayweather, turned $8m down to fight Margarito and fought some argie for half the money.Floyd got slated for that then,and still gets **** for that now.Now that Pacman finds himself in the same situation,what does he do?Exactly the same.Will he cop the same amount of ****?Not a chance,because you just watch all the pacman brown nosers come out and blame Hatton for this,just watch cos you know its gonna happen.what a *****.

Im sure im not the only fan he's lost with this latest stunt.

Pacquaio, obviously. Cos he agreed to the 50/50, then made demands for more.
