Obviously not in terms of greatness but when it comes to greediness? Wherein he can fight the best P4P fighter anytime he wants and has the right to dictate the purse coz he believes he is the bigger Draw? :think
It depends on what exactly do you want to know. If the question is: "Does Ricky Hatton bring more money to the table vs. Manny Pacquiao just like Oscar De La Hoya", then the answer is: YES, he's bringing more money to the table. But if the question is: "As he brings more money to the table, is he the same like DLH bringing more and taking more?" Then the answer is: NO, Hatton is not a greedy fighter like De La Hoya, because he's willing to bring more and take less. I hope that's an answer to your question. Feel free to ask another one.
I doubt if he brings more money than PAC in the US though... His fight with Paulie wasn't even PPV. That is why i'm asking if has the same attiude as Oscar when it comes to PPV in the UK?
He's nothing like Oscar. Oscar brings 70% of the money to a fight and want to take 80% of the money out of it. Hatton brought more than 50% of the money to the Pac fight but was willing to take an even split.
He doesn't believe he's the bigger draw, he knows he is. Just like you do, just like every Pacquiao fan does. You should be asking is Pacquiao the Filipino version of Oscar. Who the **** does he think he is trying to demand a 60/40 split from one of the biggest draws in boxing? Hatton brings in all the UK PPV's, which would exceed 1.2 million I'm sure and there would be more buys than in the US, just like the Mayweather fight, not to mention thousands of fans to Vegas and the gate receipts that come with.
He only sells when he is fighting known fighters. How much PPV buys did he got in the UK when he fought Paulie?
No idea. A lot more than the 75,000 - 200,000 that a biased writer wrote that's for sure. You should be asking whether Pacquiao would bring in more at that time of night? Face the facts, Hatton-Mayweather sold 1.3 million in UK at 4 am in the morning. That's pulling power for you. Would Pacquiao bring in 1.3 million PPV's at 4 am?
I can't believe you think $11 million guarenteed and 52% cut in favor of Paquiao makes Hatton the greedy one. Are you serious? Both guys were getting a **** load of cash. I don't know what went wrong but surely there's more to it than that. Both fighters are already set for life!!
