    Pac taking 50-50 against hatton will be way way better than pac taking 70-30 against any other fighter outside of pbf and hoya.

    this fight will still happen, 51 mp - 49 hatton, lots of detractors in team pacquiao, if i were pacquiao mona fire them 1 by 1. /jk

    50-50 is good for pac, he's the favorite in this fight.

    50-50 is huge money although you can stretch it 55-45 Max just for PAC status

    It should definetly be 50/50 IMO.

    Hatton has thousands of fans come from the U.K. all the way to Vegas.

    I'm pretty sure Pacquiao didn't have that many come to the fight.

    I like both alot, but I want Manny to win because we already saw Hatton vs. Mayweather.

    this fight will happen, Pacman has wanted this fight since pbf/hatton

    pAC IS THE BIGGER draw here. 55-45 for Pac is acceptable.

    there is a very large fil-american community in the US. they number around 4.5M. pac can certainly count on them to add to his draw in PPV buys and actual live gate as this fight is in Las Vegas.

    even with the expected influx of british hatton fans for this fight, it is still expected that majority of the live gate will still be made of ppl coming to see pac rather than hatton. US PPV will also have pac as the big draw being that hatton is not that known to the casual boxing fan and he also being KTFO'd by mayweather certainly doesn't help him here while pac just won vs. DLH, the acknowledged US Boxing PPV superstar. what hatton brings here is therefore his drawing power of UK PPV buys and some live gate.

    but this fight being in the US therefore swings it in pac's favor due to US PPV buys and a majority of the live gate. that makes him definitely the bigger draw in the US and combined with his status as being #1 p4p and the current face of boxing should merit him more that a 50/50 split of the revenue.

    but it wasnøt realistic until he beat oscar.

    and because of how he beat oscar that makes it realistic.

    i'm sure some of those 4.5M have money to spend on tickets to a pac fight. they live after all in the US and are also fanatical in their support of pac. pac will also have fans coming from the Phils. to watch this fight and i can guarantee you that they will certainly have money to spend and gamble away.

    you would be suprised hatton has a fair few celeb fans fom the uk with plenty of cash hatton could sell more tickets than pac man in the us as hatton has more traveling fans.

    but pac also has 4.5M fil-ams already living here in the US who don't need plane fare and some of them surely can afford to spend on fight tickets. this is pac's built-in fanbase in the US.
