Arum backs Hatton for 50/50 or it's off!!

He should accept 40/60 when 50/50 has already been agreed ? The world doesn't work like that you do not go back on a verbal agreement

 

Yes it does, a verbal agreement doesnt mean ****, if nothing has been signed then there is no agreement.

 

Pac isn't the main attraction in the UK though, and the UK do very good ppv sales, and both are known in the USA, while Pac is more known, Hatton has also fought at vegas quite a bit recently.

 

i'm fed up arguing this. it's about the money and hatton will bring a lot of money from the uk ppv's. everyone was happy with 50:50 and it was all agreed by arums people and mannys people. and everyone was happy, i think they have a better idea of high finance, boxing and making fights than you do and if they all thought it was fair for all concerned i'm sure it was.

 

A verbal agreement does and should count for something. Put yourself in Hatton's place, they're trying to take the ****.
I fully understand if Ricky tells them to stick it. Pacquiao will not make anywhere near the same money for any fight other than Floyd .

 

err it does actually, never heard of a verbal contract?

"It is immaterial whether the contract is verbal, in writing, or partially verbal and partially written"

that's a uk law firm but you can bet that it's the same in the US

 

Exactly, this lad knows **** all.

 

And so the other side says, no we didnt have a verbal contract, then there is no argument. Yes they are binding in court, but extremely hard to prove.

 

Arum and Roach both say there was one .
Putting aside whether it would stand up in court, do you see nothing wrong in Pacquaio moving the goalposts just before the fight is signed ?

 

lol, arum who was negotiating on behalf of pac, has come out publicly and said they had an agreement. and lieing in court is a serious business.

 

Yes I completely do, but that's not my point, I think that the fight should be 60/40, ok if there was an agreement then fair enough they should stick to it, but it should have been written down.

 

you "think it should be 60:40". lol, have hatton and pacs people let you have a look at there accounts? where does this 60:40 come from?

 

Try telling that to Bernard Hopkins! Pac ain't the main attraction, figures of 350k for Diaz and 550k or whatever it was for Marquez are decent but not a patch on the 1.4m Hatton did in the UK for Mayweather and you could probably expect something similar here for that one. Pac's popularity in Asia is all well and good but is not likely to translate to hard cash being put on the table!
