the whole golden boy promotion wouldn't really give him more money (not really just ricky hatton). I think that's what Manny get for embarrasing their big boss.
RIP Pacquiao v Hatton. Hopefully Pacman can get into the ring sooner rather than later Pac vs Campbell would be a good fight if Campbell beats Funeka
when this fight pushes through, most of the ****s here derisively calling pac will eat crow. I can't believe how people can have various opinions as if they were right there in the negotiations. and in the world of contracts, there is no done deal as long as the contract has not been signed.
With Margarito-Mosley fighting on Saturday and PacMan stating earlier he has no problems fighting at WW, I'm starting to believe he's looking for the winner. Especially for Mosley, who's still a huge name and would be WW#1 if he pulls it off, and a much easier task than beating Hatton or Margarito (I doubt Roach would let Manny fight Tony). But two thoughts for that. First, there's no other fight that offers UK PPV share, so PacMan would earn half the money vs. any other fighter than Hatton. And I doubt after the "negotiations" PacMan and his people did, Schaefer would EVER let Pacquiao fight a GBP fighter. Which is understandable.
The fight is officially off. I read an article in that Pacman has already cancelled his supposed flight to the US today. :verysad
Time to drown our sorrows in a bottle of gin? I'm pissed off at both camps, but what can we do really. :dead
Thanks man:good I made it in anticipation of the fight...... I Can't believe Pac-Man doesn't want it, he must feel It's a fight he 'could' lose and it scares him.His motivation is the big pay day and I loss to Hatton could fck it all up I suppose.....
BBC reports the same, blaming pacman for being a greedy ****er... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/7826510.stm
Pac wanted Hatton when he looked washed up before Mayweather senior started working with him. I guess he changed his mind when he saw there was still life in Hatton. he just wanted to scupper the deal with outrageous demands.
