    No, 50/50 makes sense to me. They are both very popular fighters.

    I think Pac should get more. He is red hot and p4p #1 in the boxing world atm. Meanwhile it's turnbuckle 1, Hatton 0. Who's hot and who's not? Hatton should be jumping at any opportunity to erase that lasting image of him getting KTFO against the only prime elite fighter he has ever faced.

    If i were Ricky id say i want 60/40 or no fight.I think Manny would soon back down.Its a huge fight with huge money on the line,no way is Manny going to pull out.His lawyer should be quiet and the purse go 50/50.It will go ahead no matter what and it will be a great night for the sport!

    No, Hatton is the champ at 140 where the fight would take place, plus, they're about equal in popularity IMO. Maybe Pac has a slight edge but not enough to make the purse split any higher than 50/50 in his favor. Half and half is fine IMO.

    55/45 split should be acceptable . . . Pacquaio is going to put his #1 P4P ranking on that fight . . . while Hatton will put his Ring Belt . . . now which carry more weight?

    P4P ranking of course. :deal

    Well . . . Hatton and GBP's deadline has lapsed . . . Pacquaio is giving them his own dealine (first week of Feb) :lol: . . . it's clear as sunlight there will be no fight if it's 50/50.

    Yeah, and Hatton just budged to a 52/48 split. I think these arguments will continue for like another couple of weeks, and then something will be agreed upon. Lets be real, no one is walking away from this fight, this fight is happening 1 way or another.

    If Hatton walks away, Pac could possibly lure out PBF to make millions. Other than that, theres really no money fights out there for him unless he wants to risk getting KO'd by some elite welter at 147.

    If Hatton walks away, he could fight someone like Witter in his backyard and make alot of cash.

    We will see who is more deserving of the better share......

    ......My guess is that the UK will sell more PPV buys than the US.
    If so, that should tell us all that Hatton was gyped in a 50-50 split.

    Pacquiao got the better end of the deal at 50/50.

    A mole says this fight will happen, after all the wrangling, no matter what. 55-45 will it be. ;)
