    I wonder how many fans Pac has lost over this unsavoury episode??

    Have you people ever negotiated a thing in your life? Are you the type of sissies that take the 1st deal presented to you? Calm your asses down and let both camps work it out. I want this fight made just as much as everyone else and would be really disappointed in Manny if it didn't materialize. Living in the real world I understand that these processes don't go too smoothly all the time, but it doesn't mean it's not going to happen.

    the difference is if you accept two deals and then go back both times and ask for more your a greedy ****

    no pac is a greddy little **** he has accpeted two deals before and gone back on his word, if he had said he wanted this from the start then you can say ok it's not to bad. If you go back on two deals when you figure out how much money can be made your a greedy little ****.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Arum is playing the "good guy/bad guy" card here at the expense of Pacquiao. Knowing that both boxers are not famous for trash talks, Arum is creating some "controversy" to spite fans, particularly Hatton's, so that once the fight pushes through, more fans would be enticed to buy the ppv telecast thinking that there's true bad blood between the two and there's a score that needs to be settled.

    Lets be honest, thats pretty much a "given". Why would Arum claim it and (more importantly) Pacs team not deny it?

    Its pretty apparent that Pacs team agreed 50/50, backed off when they heard that Mayweather got 70/30 off Hatton but failed to appreciate that Mayweather didn't get any share of the lucrative UK PPV.

    Pac doesn't seem as confident as Hatton and wants as much money as possible because a loss would **** up a Mayweather mega fight.

    It's a sad thing that the highest paid boxers in the sport tend to be business men first. Why can't they beat like the top MMA stars? Maybe because MMA fighters aren't paid as much I guess. More top level fighters need that "take on any challenge" mentality.

    Pac definitely doesn't want this fight.I guess 10 million dollars for 36 minutes of work isn't enough for some people.
