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

[The Big Dunn]

Floyd ain't budging at this point. I don't see Pac budging either. That means it will drag on for more years to come. Go figure who the world would blame? Both maybe. Pac settles in his own country and Floyd in his. Guess who will get the flak more?

That's how it's going to be realistically.

And this is why people like you don't want fight to happen. You're just glad manny wont get blame. We need more fans like you in boxing.

but floyd is going to win remember?? so floyd gets the bigger slice.. this is not fair??? but offering manny a flat $40mil when the fight will make 100+mils is fair???

Manny agreed to a 5050 split with Hatton and threatened to pull out at the last minute if he didn't get a bigger cut

Was that fair????

Ya'll hate Floyd so much Pac doen't get called-out on his dirt..

[D4thincarnation]

winner gets the bigger slice is the only logical way of going about this.. and since manny is going to lose that means he's gonna take less after all... so lets get this fight signed!!

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.

guys, the point isn't that it should or shouldn't be 50/50 (I think it should be 55/45 for Floyd). The point is that pacquiao shot himself in the foot when he said he'd take less. You can argue it should be 50/50 all you want but it's pacquiao's mistake by saying he'd take less and then asking for 50/50. Why would Floyd agree to that?

another thing is, for the de la hoya fight, I believe Floyd made 25 mil while Oscar got 58...and Floyd won that fight too. He paid his dues in situations like that so now that he's on top, he wants more money. Let's be honest, despite what this article says, Floyd (not Manny)is the one regarded as p4p king, especially by his peers. I put a lot more stock in what other boxers say about this fight than fans etc. Cuz those guys actually know. And in this case, every boxer I've seen asked who's better has said Floyd without hesitation.

The real point is Manny's purse for Cotto was 22 million (which he only received a fraction of) while Floyd's purse for Cotto will be more than double that and then some. That is why Floyd would be very foolish to going anywhere near 50/50 with Manny. Floyd and Manny are on totally different levels when it comes to business. Bob is the one trying to get 50/50 cause Manny has never seen that kinda money and without Floyd he never will while Floyd can make even more fighting Canelo and Martinez.

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

VisionQuest informed Manny that HE DIDN'T GET PAID AT ALL FOR THE COTTO FIGHT..

[tredh]

just give the winner 60, loser 40. Crybabies. If they're the best, it's easy money.

In our world as fans that makes sense but in the business world that is ****ing moronic. No disrespect to you just saying thats not good business and we as fans need to understand this is business first to them so that would never be agreed to.
