    Richard Schaefer:

    "The fight is off and I instructed [tour manager] Kelly Swanson to cancel the tour. It's off and we are now pursuing our other options. That's it. The Hattons called me and asked again if we had a signed deal from Pacquiao and when I said we didn't, they said they won't sit around anymore. They would like me to explore three fights they are interested in."

    Well, that's it.

    He also says “Frankly, I’m disgusted at the behavior of Manny Pacquiao. He’s a spoiled young kid who doesn’t know how to behave

    **** I'm really dissapointed. I know there are a lot gay fanboys and haters who will just use this to further their agenda against whichever they dislike but this fight could have been great. There have been a lot of crappy PPVs but I was genuinely excited by this one.

    I just hope Pac gets Mayweather and not Hatton. I would like to see Hatton take on the best @ 140, there would be nothing gained from losing to Mayweather for him and Pac-Maywather would be good.

    I figured this would happen, Pac not agreeing to terms as they gradually favored him.

    sucks. but if Pacquaio-Mayweather gets done then that makes up for it. Mayweather-Hatton II doesnt make up for this BS

    if he cant make a deal with Hatton theres no way he can make a deal with Mayweather.

    i dont see Mayweather taking less than 60% of the money.

    As I say PBF will give him 40% and beat him to the punch IMO

    Arum even guaranteed him 12 Million. Its all egos at this point. Mannys surrounded by hangers on.
