Golden Boy Defends Hatton, Responds To Pacquiao

[trainhard_187]

Hatton brings the money **** Pac he can go suck his nuthuggers ****s MONEY TALKS MORONS AND PAC DONT BRING S#$T

Wah, wah, wah, another $#^^ baby, do your self a favor and order a Hatton and Delaquitter fight. So Pac dont bring in as much as Hatton.

Hatton AINT EVER GOING TO HAVE THE SUCCESS PAC HAS.

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...

But the public doesnt see it that way when it comes to boxing. Talent and achievement mean zero with most boxing fans. Which is why Gatti can sell out the boardwalk, and Ivan Calderon couldnt sell out a holiday inn banquet room.

Yeah and PAC just brings peanuts to the table.....

Got an idea Hatton should fight Anna Kournikova, another athlete grossly overpayed because of "popularity"...

Tell you what, if Hatton had PAC's career, would you still claim 50/50 is fair????

And thats why boxing is being ****ed.... Boxing has become some sort of beauty pagent/ popularity contest... Everyone should be supporting PAC's power move right now, because it is a step in the right direction... DLH's precedent of commanding the most money due to popularity rather than merit has hurt the sport and thats why other fighters hasnt gotten the spotlight...

Its time for a change...

and I dont entirely disagree with you. But it is what it is, and the public just doesnt spend their ppv money according to achievement. If they did, then Floyd wouldnt have been the "b" side of every big fight he was ever in......

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

great post. It wasnt like he was asking for 70/30 or 80/20... pac has fought and beat Legends and is regarded as the P4P best fighter in the world. he has had to fight in the states to prove himself where as Hatton hasnt looked as good as we thought he was going to once he entered the states. Hatton has fans but is overrated. Pac is the P4P best fighter in boxing. Hatton isnt even close. 60/40 .. Last dude Floyd KO'D over 140 before Hatton was freakin Sharmba MITCHELL......THAT shouyld tell you something.

I agree... And just because it was like this for DLH, maybe now with him gone, it doesnt have to be that way again.. DLH was popular for a reason... Millions were spent on his "pr" image, where that money could have been spread to a whole host of other fighters.... They made DLH into a brand name outside of boxing and that in itself alienated millions of potentil fans visa v the growth of other fighting sports... There was a serious backlash to the DLH era as anyone can easily see.
