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

no question, hatton is obviously the draw in the UK. i'm more interested in the hatton-malignaggi PPV numbers in the US only. that way we can compare it to pac's US PPV nos.

 

you said pbf averaged 350k and you said against hatton he did 850k, what does that tell you?

 

Some American posters seem to be unable to understand that there is a massive PPV market for this in the UK. Hatton is generating 1 million PPV buys per fight in the UK, that dwarfs anything Pac has ever managed in the USA.

 

this tells me that mayweather may have added to his PPV popularity by defeating dlh in his previous fight. the same thing will probably happen to pac who also defeated dlh in his last fight.

 

No way did that ****-boring fight increase Mayweathers PPV popularity.

 

defeating Boxing's acknowledged PPV Star in DLH does. it makes you more well-known to the casual boxing fans who are the ones that increase PPV numbers in the US.

 

The fight was a stinker, whatever PPVs Mayweather got over his last fight before Oscar I'm sure Hatton was a least partially responsible. Either way this is a side issue, let Pac keep his USA PPV sales and let Hatton keep the UK PPV and we'll see who ends up better off.

 

I bet Pac would make more money taking a 50-50 split with the UK PPV sales rather than a 60-40 without them.

 

Are you skimming my posts Beeston?

 

Pac's people are making the right choice. Pac should be getting more money. It should be 60/40 or 55/45 in favor of Pac. If Ricky balks, Pac can still fight Mayweather, Judah, Marquez again, Valero, or the Holt/Bradley winner. If Hatton doesn't land this fight he can fight Mayweather, but Mayweather would demand the bigger purse as well. Besides that, Hatton is stuck.

 

Hatton did below average on a free card. What does that tell you?

 

And Pac isn't?

The only way Pac makes more money is against Mayweather - but Mayweather would sooner fight Hatton because firstly, he has his number, and secondly, knows Hatton will take the fight for shorter money because he is desperate for another crack.

Marquez, Judah, or Valero don't bring that kind of cash for Pac, even if they were fighting for free.

 

Why can't Hatton fight any of those names?

Against any of which he would sell more ppvs than Pacquiao would against the same opponent...

 

mayweather-hatton was a 70/30 purse split. that will become smaller for hatton in a possible rematch. the biggest money fight left for hatton now is the pacquiao fight whether it's 50/50 or 60/40. i think hatton doesn't have too much options here.

 

Pac's on top of the boxing world, he's got plenty of options. Hatton should be grateful he's getting another opportunity against the world's best boxer. Pac definately has the upper hand here. Hatton needs him more than he needs Hatton. If Hatton wants to fight Mayweather instead, that really won't even effect Pac. Mayweather would simply knock Hatton out again(ending Hatton's days as a main eventer in the states). Pac could fight Marquez again in the spring and then Mayweather next winter. Yeah, if I'm Pac's manager I would definately demand the bigger slice of the pie.
