Golden Boy Defends Hatton, Responds To Pacquiao

[BetterCallSaul]

Pacman's last 3 fights:

Decision over JMM (Jr Lightweight title)
KO over David Diaz (Lightweight title)
KO over Oscar De La Hoya (1st ever fight at Welterweight)


Hatton's last 3 fights:

KO loss to Floyd Mayweather (at the the time P4P #1)
Decision over Juan Lazcano (Lazcano hadn't fought in nearly 2 years??)
KO over Pauli Malignaggi (LOL)

...and Hatton was worth a 60-40 over Pacquiao? :wank:

This is why I made a thread previously about PPV rates, etc being looked over the actual fights. People are bitching that Hatton deserves the bigger pie since he has a huge following and would generate great PPV and gate numbers...but competitively IMO it was just one last stepping stone to an inevitable fight with Floyd (which really is the fight the majority of us would like to see).

Just my 2 cents

The Lazcano that fought Hatton would have beat the Oscar, Manny fought,

Mallignaggi is just as good a win as Diaz, if not better.

Mayweather woul destroy Pacquaio in much the same fashion he did Hatton

I agree. And GBP is saying that the money coming in from England is way more than the Phillipines or Pinoys in the states? There are like a billion Phillipinos in LA alone, and everyone of them is gonna order any Pac fight. Believe me, when Pacquiao fights, he brings in as much or even more revenue than Hatton. Plus, Pacquiao has a big hispanic following too. Hatton only has his hooligan soccer fans.

So then why didnt they order Pac-Dlh??

remember, Pac-Dlh only did 1.25 million buys, which is about HALF of what DLH-Mayweather did. And since DLH draws close to a million buys on his own (925k for DLH-Mayorga), where were all those pinoy ppv buys??

And the only reason Pac-David Diaz went to ppv was because neither HBO or Showtime would buy it. And it only did 165k buys. Where were the pinoy ppv buys for that one??

hmmmm...........

You all crybaby UK fans are ridiculous. The fight is still on the table for Hatton at a 55-45 but Hatton dont want it, the chump is walking away from it to possibly fight Delaquitter with a 70-30 or get Knockout by Floyd again for even less. Greed my ass.

To be the man you got to beat the man, HATTON IS NOT THE MAN TO BEAT.

Cry your greed all you want, your boy Hatton is walking away from this fight not Pac.

[MANGLER]

If Pac got a better deal vs GBP bigwig DLH, he might not be actin like a greedy ******* right now. I'm disappointed, but Pac's got a point.

neither was Oscar. But that didnt stop him from getting 68% of the DLH-Pac money. Everyone keeps babbling on about how manny is p4p #1, and blah, blah, blah. That has SQUAT to do with revenue distribution. Bottom line is Hatton will bring about a million UK ppv buys that wont be there if Pac fights anyone else. That warrants a 50-50 split. Its not about achievement, its about economics.

Funny how Hatton would be just fine with 60-40 manny's way on the US money, with Manny keeping all the Phiippines money and Hatton keeping all the UK money. Pac wanted nothing to do with that deal. lol

Indeed, this is quite troubling to see so many posters agree that an inferior fighter (although popular) command the SAME reward as a proven, battte-tested, and consensus BETTER fighter...

Athletes are paid according to merit... Would a good but popular baseball player command the SAME salary aprime future HOFer like A-ROD?

Lastly, 5 percent................. Is that too much to concede for Hatton? I, believe PAC and a whole host of other fighters are worth 5 more percent than Hatton...

If anything, I think PAC is being overly generous...

Hatton aint the man to beat, NUFF SAID, He aint even RANKED..

[jbin333]

bottom line is PAC-MAN is the top dawg in boxing right now, for years DLH got away with murder when it came to negotiations for his fights......How may times did DLH make 30mil dollars while his opponent didn't come close to 3 times that amount..........

as far as this crap about Hatton brining in his british fans.......Hatton isn't loved by Americans.....Pac-Man is the one that would draw the American public in a fight of this maginitude......and quite frankly Hatton will not come close to realizing the type of money that was on the table against anyone else......like Pac-Man said, go and get it if you can....Hatton knows he won't........Hatton for months has gone on record saying he wants to fight the best pound for pound fighter, and he just pissed his opportunity away.......


HATTON NEEDS PAC-MAN, PAC-MAN DOESN'T NEED HATTON....... I applaud Manny for telling Arum to go F#$K himself!!!
