Pacquiao: 60/40 or no fight! Team Hatton: we are pulling the plug!

interesting. let's see. seems pac is playing poker here. let us see if hatton gives in on this one.

 

hmm.... i wonder how much PPV did hatton-malignaggi do in the US and UK. :think

 

edit

 

Margarito will take 40% and make the fight tomorrow

Margo would probably take 33% if it came to that. Let's get it on. :smoke

 

50/50 is more than fair. Pac is trying to duck Hatton. :deal

 

edit

 

ok. now, i've heard everything... atsch :-(

 

not sure but would be suprised if the uk numbers alone were not higher than most pac ppv's

 

Hatton vs Paulie did 1m buys I believe.

For a pretty **** card both here and stateside.

There would be a decent UK bill and US bill, so expect at least 1.25m.

 

Before Paule the Lascano PPV did very well also, thats in addition to a 55,000 live gate. To say Hatton needs Pac to generate great PPV sales in the UK is just plain wrong.

If this split is for all the revenue inc. UK PPV sales then Pac should be taking no more than 50%. If Pacs teams wants to give Hatton a lesser percentage and the UK PPV sales then I'm sure Hatton will be only too happy to agree. He took 30% and the UK PPV against Mayweather and cleaned up.

 

if that's the case, then pac should really accept the 50/50 split. but this purse split is also about billing and recognition of who has the bigger name, so pride is also playing its part here for the two parties.

 

I would guess that Hatton made nearly as much as Floyd from that fight - with the 1.25m buys at £15 each.

To suggest that Pac is a much bigger draw is just plain wrong.

A few people on here have guessed at around 600k buys for this one - primetime USA. You get double that here, 4am in the morning from a much smaller country!

 

I'm sure that Pacs end of a 50/50 spilt of everything would be larger than him taking 60% but giving away the UK PPV.

 

Sounds fair. 50-50 UK market included.
