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

Bro......if I did that I'd shoot myself for wasting that kind of time. I saw your list before...you just had to cut and paste it so you don't fall in that bucket. But you didn't even have to post that list you did for me to know that there were people who scored it for JMM. I had a split house of 30 friends/"Boxing experts" by their own admission of course that had the fight for PAC or for JMM....but mostly PAC.:yep Close fights will see that happen. But if you posted the list to "TRY" and make it seem as though EVERYONE had JMM winning.....you know I had to pull your card.

 

Surely you don't believe that.:think Based off the preformance over Paulie? Surely not. But to be fair Hatton is a serious threat...a real oppoent in his prime and definitely has a chacne to beat PAC. But PAC took on DLH who at the time was "PERCIVED" to be more of a challenge than Hatton. "Scared" is not in PAC's DNA. Money/Greed/principle are the reason all these discussions are happening.

 

this fight is 50/50 why is pac being greedy?if this fight doesnt happen im gonna be pissed.

 

Pac made the **** out on that one! If I were hatton I wouldn't have agreed to 50/50 that included options on UK PPV buys! That's just insane.......Mayweather couldn't even get that! I'm just happy the fight is being made! But the demands were not comical unless PAC was ALSO asking for options on the UK PPV to begin with. i was under the impression that the 60/40 demand was on the PURSE only.

 

In a bit of good news for Hatton and Pacquiao fans, it appears that Manny and his team are now willing to accept the 50-50 purse split with Ricky, and have pulled back from the 60-40 split that they had requested a day earlier. According to the LA Times, the contract should be signed by tomorrow for the fight. “Everybody is now calmed down,” promoter Bob Arum said.

 

Of course it is........Arum had to side with agreeing that 50/50 was fair........
.....I dont know where I read it, but a few months back I had read that with the counts of PPV's worldwide, Hatton-Mayweather actually sold more PPV's than DLH-Mayweather.......

Pacquiao should be thankful Hatton is willing to split the purse 50/50!

 

If thats true why does Pac not accept 60-40 of just the American market and let Hatton keep uk money and Pac keep the whole of the Asia market?.

 

Actually the PURSE itself should be 60/40 for PAC if this is all the argument was about....but the BIG issue is the UK and US PPV markets respectively. PAC should have been counting his blessings IF Hatton really did agree to split the UK PPV options down the middle. Hatton has a tremendous following in the UK and that alone would have probably been as big as the actual purse if not more!

The problem is the PPV options in both the US and UK markets. NOt the purse itself....if both fighters agreed to keep their PPV markets seperated then the PURSE should be split 60/40 with each fighter keeping options on the PPV Rev.

But I heard Ricky was willing to split the UK PPV options 50/50 with PAC:shock: If that is true that deal was MORE than Fair! My goodness! Ricky took the lesser purse with the then P4P king last year (Floyd) and with his PPV numbers he actually ended up making MORE than Floyd at the end of the day.

 

See.....that is greedy! PAC can't have it all! 60/40 was Fair to begin with.....Ricky saying he's willing to split 50/50 including HIS OWN Market...the UK PPV options was MORE than Fair and damn near generous on part of Ricky. PAC should just take the later! I think it's not just PAC...but his handlers who are in his ear telling him to look for more money. More money is THERE! Take the fight at 50/50 everything down the middle!

 

I don't know who needs a B8tch slap, Pacman or his greedy whisperers...

60/40 is ok IF Hatton would be keeping the UK PPV and Pacquiao getting more on US and international PPV = still Hatton wins by slim margin

50/50 is ok IF both fighters will have an even split to all PPV sales. = draw

 

Hatton should accept the offer and have the opportunity for greatness; otherwise, he will be remembered by most as a good fighter who fought the best by fighting mayweather but was knocked the **** out.

Pacquiao should stand his ground. Money is not the issue here, as he has a truck load of it. He is trying to remind every one that he should be calling the shots based on his current status as the best boxer in the world.
