Comments Thread For: Hatton Urges Mayweather, Pacquiao To Do 50-50 Fight

[The Big Dunn]

Thanks, Dunn, for giving me that much credit. Realistically speaking, only Floyd can make this fight happen. Not me, you, them.

If manny takes less he can make fight happen. But you are happy he wont get blame. Thats the essence of manny fans. As long as no one says anything bad about manny you are satisfied.

Yeah Manny even offered Floyd 70/30 split of the PPV for the winner.

Floyd said no.

Most important thing to Floyd is not money, it is self-preservation. Can't blame Floyd for that.

Floyd wants to look after his health and a fight with Pacquiao is bad for your health.

Manny agreed to 5050 with Hatton and demanded more money at the last minute or he'd pull out..

You guys hate Floyd so much you can't even see Manny's dirt..

Just pretend his name is Floyd Morales or Floyd Martinez..and he was 10 shades lighter....I'm sure you'd love him then

No doubt about it..

True floyd didn't go over 400k ppv sales. But ODH did't go over 1.4 mil. The fight went to 2.4 mil. Floyd deservescredit in some way for taking ODH so high right?

AGree manny is a much bigger draw then floyd was at the time. That doesn't mean he can't take less. It means he shouldn't have to take sooo much less (eg $40 mil no ppv), IMO.

Manny refused good deal in dec 2009. Now to make fight he has to agree to something not as good. He pays for turning down a fair deal over OST. Is there anything wrong with that?

I don't blame Manny for refusing OST the first time, I blame him for taking 3 years to finally accept it without further stipulation.

52/48 should make the fight happen, 55/45 to the winner is a good compromise (Manny's counter-offer).
But the point is, this fight will not happen for $40m flat.

Hagler/SRL, but SRL did that to get the larger ring which bettered his chances of winning.

Actually Hagler got more than Leonard did

Floyd took less to make the biggest fight in history, Manny's turn now, IMO. Manny taking less still gets him his highest payday and the glory that comes with being in the biggest fight in history.

If manny wants to make history he can take less to do it.

Mayweather Delahoya was the highest grossing fight not the biggest at all. Biggest stinker maybe.

[shade darkar]

do you still think he wants the fight then dunn?

Its got to be 50 50 in an ideal world. Too much has happened to now let money be an issue. Worst case scenario is Floyd takes 60 40 as a complaint of Pac taking him to court.

NO because floyd is promoting the fight and is putting his money up to guarantee a return on the investment. Manny isn't putting up his own money to promote.

Actually it will be Oscar and Golden Boy putting up most if not all the money and business connections to make to the fight a success (just like Floyd's other fights since the De La Hoya fight). He works under some just like Manny, the only difference is that Oscar doesn't **** his fighters around as much because he is a former fighter and respects fighters.
