    No argument here. Pac losing here would probably shake boxing up in more ways than one.

    You can poke holes in pretty much any fight but the good ones far outweigh those holes. This is one of those... whatever one cares to say about Hatton, he's clearly the best at 140 at the moment & that's a weight stretch for Manny... what more can one ask? Yep, it's going to make money... damn, sounds like a win/win to me. Anyone pissing on it is more into being contrary than enjoying boxing.

    That's why I was annoyed when people thought Manny was asking for too much money. Pac has so much more to lose than Ricky so he should get a much bigger share of the purse.

    If Ricky beats Manny he gains EVERYTHING. Ricky should be getting barely any money for this fight as he has EVERYTHING to gain and NOTHING to lose.

    I'm think PAC may be in trouble as even though Ricky has abolsutely no boxing skills or talent has is much stronger and bigger bones than Manny and with Ricky's huge body-punching power I can see Ricky winning.

    In my opinion Manny should win but a well place body shot could end the whole thing.

    Are you for real? You obviously have little understanding of how boxing works. It's what you bring to the table that's the key, not what you've got to lose. Hatton brings the £s, simple as. And Hatton has plenty to lose, his ring title and consensus champ status, his undefeated record at 140, his p4p status. By comparison, if Pacquiao was to lose the fight, many would say exactly the same thing you have that he was just too small and therefore it should not affect his p4p status (this despite the fact that he has confirmed he can not make lightweight comfortably anymore).

    And a two-weight p4p rated world champ having no boxing skills or talent? Do us all a favour and take up watching another sport cos boxing clearly isn't yours!

    Then why all the talk, pre Floyd v Marquez bout talk, that Hatton would fight JMM-win or lose against Pac (at Wembley Stadium, etc, etc):think

    Haha no boxing skills or talent... But hw is a huge body-puncher.. Im not a Hatton fan and I think he mugged Kosta.. But World Champion unbeaten at LW...

    Your a clown.. I only want PAC to win to see the next fight, mayweather vs Pac Man..

    Hatton's getting the money because .. He brings the british general sports fans to boxing.. That's a whole heap of crying pom's that normal wouldnt give a **** about PAC but if he fights Hatton they will pay.

    Thats why it should be equal and even if he loses they will be back for his next fight . and the next one.. He is a giant cash cow who can fight..

    Its all about pounds..... Hatton no matter if he wins or loses will fill wembley ... And last I heard the English Pound was still worth more then the south pacific peso (I dont know what you use in the Philippines)


    NOTE- I usally call that the australian dollar ..

    Pac wins the lineal/ring mag light welterweight belt, he earns 30 million US dollar$$$$$$$, but most of all he has just given himself a chance to eat a lot of english pussies which he likes very much. LOL
