That's true, Money is the biggest motivator in this Sport. A PRO boxer's job is to fight, and he doesn't expect to do it pro bono. But to be really frank about it, it's not all about the Money especially at this level where legacy comes into the picture. Yeah it takes a big slice of concern in any boxer's mind, but I feel that anyone saying that's all it is about -- the CASH -- and nothing much else is being ignorant and delusional, sorry to say, especially when the two people negotiating for the fight are already set up for life. Sometimes, there are more important things than getting 5% less, and Ricky between the two of them must realize this.Comment

That's nothing to what he's gonna get even if he takes a pride pill with 45%. Pacman already has loads of legacy, that's his bait he's trying to get Ricky to bite. He is asking the Hit Man if he's willing to sacrifice just 10% of his take for a legacy defining opportunity, not just a business opportunity, but like everything else in boxing, it comes with the price.

But I am arguing for your boy but in a different way. Mayweather made double the ppvs than Pac did fighting the same guy.
Mayweather doesn't bring in more livegate fans than Pac, but Hatton does.
Add Hatton's live fans plus all those uk fans and that's serious money. Pac can't accomplish the same financially even though he has a whole country backing him...
Mayweather's deal would always be better than Pac's. And since there is no way in hell Pac-Hatton does better than Mayweather-Hatton, Hatton has a better position to bargain.
In a perfect world Pac should possibly get more, but in this world, 60-40 would be a terrible deal for Hatton based on what he's made through his career.
Mayweather is a American Mainstream Star.
He brings in causal Fans becuase he exposure on Mainstream shows.
and He is a lighting Rod.
So his fanbase is very diverse and will buy his P.P.V on tv.
But my point is that Manny Pacquaio has earned the distinction of being the top dog in boxing at the moment and he deserves to be treated as such.
FAIR is FAIR..!
Ricky brings the fans. But he doesnt Bring in the P.P.V TV audience.
The last thing The American Pay Per View Audience Remember about Ricky Hatton is him getting Knock into a ring post by Mayweather.
Ricky Hatton went down from 1.25 million in U.K. pay per view sales against Mayweather to 200,000 against Malignagi.
Manny generated 250,000 against Diaz. So clearly, Hatton needs a big name more than Manny.
Manny Pacquaio has every right to take the lionshare of this fight.

Ricky should call Pac's bluff. Agree to the 55-45 split. It would make the fight more intense since that's ass whoopin' incentive for Hatton right there. Ricky needs this fight more than Manny does anyway.Comment

Neither opponent never had much mainstream appeal.
Manny - Diaz ****** ass too really a paltry 50k more buys. and they did a big city press tour. hell they came to chicago, la, all kinda places, and got that ****ty number.
But this isn't the same thing when you are dealing with a mega fight.
I understand your concept of fairness and appreciate it, but it doesn't work like that in this fight.
The question now is, does Pac bring the mainstream american ppv fans?
That hasn't been proven yet.
We know what Hatton brings, and financially it's a lot.Last edited by Guest; 01-21-2009, 10:13 PM.Comment

yes i do. maybe floyd thought the u.k. revenues wouldn't be that much. hatton never sold 1.4 million ppv in the u.k. before. maybe he thought the higher percentage of the u.s. money would be more. who knows?
mayweather's promoter is not very smart after all.
he's self promoted isn't he?Comment
