Manny Pacquiao Gives In, Accepts Hatton Offer of 52-48

It keeps changing every minute, but if this is true... which I hope it is then I will be really happy because it is a fight I am really looking forward to as well as many other people.

Its been signed at 52-48 in favour of Pac...

At last this fights signed!

No-one has received the signed contract. And Hatton's camp say on their website that if it's not 50/50 they're still pulling out. So don't believe any news reports until the contract has actually been signed by both parties.

According to an admin on Hatton's official forum, the Hatton camp aren't interested unless the contract says 50-50, even though Hatton offered 52-48 earlier in the week :s.

Hatton never actually said he'd offered 52/48, it was Arum and Pac's camp who said that. It's very odd, and best to wait until Tuesday, when the contract will either be signed, or the fight will finally be called off. But if it falls through because Hatton wouldn't go to 52/48 then most people including me would blame Hatton this time, and not Pac.

Hatton wins. TKO round 11

Much cash to be made here.

Maybe Hatton's camp thought that Manny was firm in not accepting the 52/48 (not knowing behind the scene that the DEMOTERS would make up the difference to make it acceptable to Manny). The DEMOTERS are more inclined to make this fight go through than anyone else. It is a win-win situation for them. IMO
