    Ricky is a bigger draw than Floyd...

    ...and Manny got 50/50 or better vs Ricky. Floyd wants more than 50% vs Manny, No Way. Manny is the man right now, Floyd is making a so called "comeback", whatever; that was nothing more than a long glorified layoff. His ploy to try to hype his marketability.

    Manny's been doing big things and he's an international star. He clearly deserves the lion's share vs Floyd. If Floyd don't accept less then 50 percent, then he never wanted to fight the Pacman. The End. True Story.

    I never thought I'd say this... but I'm actually tired of all of this.

    All these poor Mexicans care about is how much money Pac makes. Sad world.

      Ricky Hatton is a bigger draw in the UK.
      Not in the United States Of America.


      2.15 Million AMERICANS brought the DLH vs. Floyd fight in AMERICA

      910,000 AMERICANS brought the Hatton vs. Floyd Fight in AMERICA..

      The difference is In the DLH vs. Floyd fight 2 AMERICAN superstar fighters were fighting that night in AMERICA...

      In the Ricky Hatton vs. Floyd fight 1 SUPERSTAR AMERICAN was fighting a non-american in AMERICA

      This tells me that more people in AMERICA knew who DLH and Floyd were.
      than

      FLOYD VS. Ricky Hatton.


      Floyd was the AMERICAN draw in that fight. and Ricky was the British Draw in the fight. That fight prove thatt Floyd AMERICAN APPEAL WAS 850,000 homes in AMERICA...

      If you say Ricky was the draw in America


      Can you explain to me what the Average AMERICAN casual fan knew about Ricky Hatton before he fought Floyd???

      What blockbuster fight was Hatton in AMERICA before the Floyd fight???
      What Blockbuster name did Hatton fight that the Casual Fan Knew in AMERICA

      But I bet you the casual AMERICAN fan knew that Mayweather was considered the best fighter in the world before the Hatton fight.

      I bet you the casual AMERICAN fan knew that Mayweather was on Dancing with the stars. which averages 20 million AMERICAN viewers a week before the Hatton fight.

      I bet the Casual AMERICAN fan Knew Mayweather was a trash talker before the Hatton fight...



      So if Mayweather was not the Draw for the casual AMERICAN viewers in the hatton vs. PBF fight...

      You tell me

      WHAT drew the Casual AMERICAN fans to buy 910,000 P.P.V orders at 59.95 a piece???

      if you say Hatton please explain....

      what did hatton do before floyd in America that got him THe CASUAL AMERICAN VIEWER attention to want to pay 59.95 to watch him fight?

        Not quite as clear cut as that.

        How many did DLH v Floyd do in the UK (clue, it wasn't PPV)

        Hatton does lots of PPV buys in the UK, so the total buys are a lot more than just the US figures (not as many as DLH v Floyd but that was a massive fight regardless of where the fighters were from)

        Pac v Floyd will sell millions, Floyd probably generates half those buys (either from fans or from people wanting so see pac KHTFO) so he should get half the purse.

        Let's be honest, Pac doesn't exactly bring any personality to the table to help sell fights does he?

        Floyd is the villain, pac is the good guy, they both play their part and both should get 50%.

          Ricky Hatton is a huge draw, no one can that away from him. But his first PPV in the US didn't do 900k becuase of him, nobody knew him like that. The PPV sales in the US was more due to Floyd's popularity that Hattons. Even when the recession is 100% over, no two boxers will do what De La Hoya vs Mayweather did in their PPV fight.
