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

[shade darkar]

His unwillingness to negotiate has nothing to do with wanting the fight but everything to do with wanting the fight on his terms. I mention floyd ODH and see underlined in my sig.

Manny, IMO, can give into floyd's every point if he wants to get into the ring with him, just like floyd did ODH.

iv seen your sig. floyd was in no position to demand 50/50 with de la hoya. thats the difference.

Fixed.......

C'mon man not all Mayweather fans are on hooked on phonics

But he didn't have to accept those terms. Yes manny is in a better position but that doesn't mean he is entitled to an even split.

If floyd could do that to make the biggest fight in history, manny can do it as well. I have answered evey question. Tell me one reason why manny can't do the same thing floyd did?

I donīt get why they canīt just work out some scenario where they go winner 70% loser 30% (just mock figures but you get the point)... the window for this fight happening is closing fast.

why does everybody still keep talking about this fight,it aint ever happening period if either were willing to fight each other then they would not find it hard to come up with a deal for either guy and agree upon everything

Because it was Ricky Hatton voicing out his opinion on this matter, who IMO is the most credible since he has dealt with both financially and physically.
It sparked my interest to this debate once more...

I'll prolly regret wasting all this time tomorrow anyways, something I call the May/Pac hangover.

Manny's words to Floyd over their phone conversation.
"50/50 and you can have everything you want."

Unfortunately, the first half of that statement killed whatever the second half would have been.

how you know he said you can have whatever you want?how you know he didn't mean you can have whatever you want except the may 5th date?if i'm not mistaken manny asked for 50/50 then floyd told him no what you will get is 40mill.anyway to me it looks like this was just a way for top rank to spin the fact that they didn't wanna fight on may 5th especially since floyd was making them look bad by calling manny out on twitter and he had arum making all kinds of dumb ass excusses

they did offer something similar to that. im not sure of the exact % but team pac offers the winner gets the bigger split.. guess what? floyd said NO!

[iNDOSMOKE]

floyd made a cheap offer of $40mil flat to pac, bob counter that with a offer of $50mil flat to floyd. floyd said no to that but he expect pac to say yes to his offer? LOL!!!!!

[letsgobrady]

Pac has beaten Floyd in the PPV battle in their last three fights, homey. Pac is the real superstar, not Floyd. Truth hurts, I know.

shoow proof because thats bull****.floyds fight with shane was the 2nd highest grossing non heavyweight fight 1.4 mill
