    It depends how you look at it I guess. In my eyes Pac is the top guy in boxing right now and is just trying to get what he feels he deserves.

    that would be the most plausible explanation, he isn't going to make more fighting anyone else, and this is a bigger fight than anything else out there.

    yeah he might be top but he doesn't bring as much money to the fight as hatton so why should he get 10% more money when it isn't him bringing the money to the fight.

    I get what you're saying but at the same time that's just one of the perks being the Main Man. It may not seem fair but that's just how it is.

    Hatton is actually in an enviable position having a chance to go up against the P4P1 for the second time in his career. I'm sure if the tables were turned and he were #1, he would want the larger share as well.

    floyd and pacman had to accept a lower slpit agsint oscar as he brings more money.
    In temrs of money pac should get more of the purse no doubts but he shouldn't be getting a share of hatton uk tv ppv buys then as he has no real bearing on that, this is the big problem.

    Oscar is a special case and we all know that. Who else runs the show llike him? Everyone else seems to follow the normal way, Hatton included.

    There's no arguing that he's right behind Oscar, no doubt.

    I do think that Pac would still want to fight him to get Floyd out of retirement though. Pac would have to win of course..

    How the hell can he duck Hatton when he's not even at JWW yet? You can only duck someone when you're the champ and you avoid fighting worthy challengers; You know, like when Hatton came up with every excuse under the sun as to why he wouldn't fight Witter.

    The word "duck" insinuates that he's scared of Ricky.

    If he were scared of Ricky then they wouldn't have expressed interest in him in the first place.

    i don't think pacs ducking hatton but to say only champs can duck is stupid. but it allowed you to get another sly dig in on hatton, hatton ducking witter lol, it's obvious you hadn't even heard of witter at the time hatton was supposed to be ducking him.
