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

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.

To me, Floyd needs to stop the JMM 4 from happening as soon as the Cotto fight is over. It's possible Pacquiao would become engrossed with his political and religious life after the JMM 4. I think the man is ready to quit boxing. He's tired of it as we've seen in his recent fights.

You gotta admit that Floyd offering $40 million on a fight which would potentially make around $200 million is outright dumb, to say the least. Pac is not living in a vacuum. He has enough people around to dissuade him from taking that insulting offer, don't you agree? Look at you. You're not even one of Floyd's close associates, yet you care enough to influence Floyd's decision-making process.

Just saying this fight has to happen after their next respective fights. If not, it would be even more difficult to get it on track.

First it was Manny take the test

Now we have Manny take the less

All we know for sure is that Floyd is taking the PiSS

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.

Agree with you on this.

let me guess, hatton is a p@ct@rd now?? everyone is saying this fight should be 50/50!! its the hardcore floyd fans that want to stand by floyd. funny because they were going around saying take the test before and now its no 50/50! LOL!

As a hard core "fight" fan, I wish they would do 50/50 and get it on. But most fight fans don't want to take the business aspect into consideration, let alone the devil in disguise Bob Arum....Floyd makes more money than Manny Pacquioa and that is a fact! Manny Pacquioa's total net worth is 26 million dollars and Floyd is offering him damn near double that for one night of work. Forbes said Floyd made 65 million dollars to fight Shane Mosley. How much did Pac make to fight em? From a business standpoint, Floyd is entitled to more based on how the boxing business has been predicated for years.

I'm a floyd fan who thinks manny can take less to make the fight.

Don't worry, you're not alone as plenty of other flomos feel the same.

[The Big Dunn]

do you still think he wants the fight then dunn?

Floyd, yes. Obviously he wants the fight on his terms. Now we can agree floyd has an elevated sense of self. That said, in principle, I see no reason why he shouldn't set terms. But he seems to be trying to recoup what he lost when the ODH fight sold so well. He needs to let that go if he is in fact doing that.

Whats wrong with this opinion?

[The Big Dunn]

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.

Read the ny times article on floyd's business deal and model. I think that will illustrate your errors in this post.

Your right, he doesn't live in a vacum. He refused bith the fair good offer and then the crap one. SO I don't think $40 no ppv is acceptable, but he turned down 50/50 and shouldn't get another shot at it.

Is that fair?

Funny how his terms change when Manny agrees to them.

It is almost as he doesn't want to fight Manny.
