    Hatton should just fight Marquez let that greedy boy Pac-Man chase Mayweather.What if Pac-Man doesn't get him Bradley,Holt wow I can see those PPV's going through the roof...
    They don't have that crossover appeal that Hatton and Pac-Man have.Good fights yes,countrywide anticipation? in the Phillipines maybe not in the States though

    i don't think you do, at the time of the fight sky and setanta were fighting it out for big fights. sky could take 50% of $37.5million or 100% of zero. i read hatton made £20million of the fight that's $40million at the time.

    it was a direct sell of the tv rights from hatton to sky, it costs sky relatively nothing to put the show on, why would he take 25%?

    I can't find a source but £20 mil was the figure being bandied about in the UK press at the time.

    Pac-Man=Greedy 50-50's fair

    Hatton should tell him to get lost see how many filipino's can afford to travel to Vegas and buy PPV's

    Sure he does, he can fight JMM for chump change or hope that Mayweather takes pity on him and comes out of retirement. Hatton will be stuck fighting before 60,000 at Wembley and generating a measly 1 million UK PPV sales.

    This fight is great for both fighters, lets hope Pac doesn't **** it up.

    you're kidding, about china, right?.... china has more than 2 billion people. so, easily it would be millions there watching.

    japanese PPVs are very expensive. i think more expensive than US PPVs. middle east, the same. if you factor in the money coming from these countries, that's a lot on pac's side of the table.
