Pacquiao Deserved More Than Hatton, Says Sulaiman

[dadd]

50-50???

Fact is hatton brings more fans and more PPV buys..... he got 10k fans to fly here from the uk. in a stadium that only seats 18k when he faught mayweather!!!! plus hatton has the title in the 140 pound division!!!! Hatton should get the bigger half.... yea sure manny is ranked pound for pound but that is by ring magazine!!!! hayyon is the champion at 140 pounds so that would make manny pac the challenger!!!!!
Hatton has more fans!!!
Hatton is the champion!!!
PPV buys will be big by the britts

who needs who?

After reading all these posts by you sly bastards I was begining to get confused on who's fault it was that this fight is considered off.
I can see how folks would want to say that Pac now has more pull, after beating Oscar, and assuming that Mayweather is a serious option. However, if this Mayweather talk is just fantasy where does that leave Manny? I posted before that Floyd is a major player in all of these negotiations and I still believe it. No one knows the inside game that is being played right now, and I personally believe to think that Floyd and Manny aren't talking is bit naive. Maybe this is far reaching and I can't believe I'm typing this **** but **** it I was looking foward to going to this fight and to say I'm dissapointed is a gross understatement. I just think that when you have Floyd who beat Oscar, as well as Manny who beat Oscar, combined with the fact that both Manny and Floyd have had issues in regards to Golden Boy Promotions in recent years, not to mention that Hatton is part of GBP there is going to be some crooked stuff going on. Hatton is fine regardless of what happens, I'm sure he wants the big pay day but how the hell can you blame the guy for walking away after offering up a 12 mill guarantee and half the cut afterwards, when everyone knows he's the cash cow in the sport now. Don't get it twisted folks, Manny may be the p4p right now but let's put this **** in perspective. If Mayweather is not an option, Pac can go back to the drawing board and fight guys like Valero, and if he's lucky Marquez and make a couple mill for fighting some solid opposition, and Hatton can fight Mickey Rourke or whoever in Britain and make double of what Pac makes. If you want to argue that then so be it. Pac and Mayweather are flirting, if they were not this fight would have been signed already. I can't see it any other way.

Who cares what this corrupt fat bastard thinks. Pac screwed up. Nobody was trying to job him. Hatton even conceded to 52-48, so he cant complain about getting the short end.
Good for Hatton for standing firm. He brings all the fans and all the money. I dont see any flips flying in and chanting all weekend long the way Hatton's fans do. So up yours Sulaiman you greezy bastard.

I personally think that Team Pacquiao (Pacman, Lawyer(s),associates) looked over the contract very carefully, crunched some numbers and figured out that the money split may be more in favor of Hatton even though the percentage split looks like 52/48. Hatton could in effect make more through the PPV or viewing sales in his area. I could be wrong but it's just a thought.

When Sulaiman speaks, you all should listen and take notes.

The split was for everything UK PPVs included

those who say that hatton brings more fans and ppv buys than pacquiao is an idiot! he should go over the records rather than writing his thoughts bereft of facts.

Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao has received support from World Boxing Council president Don Jose Sulaiman on his decision not to go ahead with the planned May 2 showdown against Britain’s Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton. [details]

I concur with Don Jose1
