    Ah ok, now my mind is back on topic again. Damn too many articles.

    I say 50/50 on everything. F*ck his attorney! Roach should b*tch slap Manny to get back into the real world not into his hangers greedy world.

    well at the end of the day, arum, roach and there accountants and lawyers publicly said 50:50 was fair for both sides.

    who knows more about what's good for pac and negotiating fights, reg or arum? hmm that's a tough one.

    It's almost double the $30 figure you threw out. Some providers where charging $60. HD was between $65 and $70.

    he can't generate as much money fighting anyone evryone knows this but he can generate more money than anyone else pac can fight. Also some things like legacy come into play as well.
    I will use this as an example hatton could make 10 million dollars fighting you, he could make 15-20 million dollars fighting a decent champion but he could make 30-40 million fighting a pacman or mayweather.
    Pacman could make about 1 million dollars fighting you, at the most 10 million for fighting a top guy like marquez so why does he want to fight hatton becuase he knows it will make him 3-4 times the money he has made than all other fights.

    The promoter looks out for his own interests, the manager looks out for the fighter. The manager is insisting on a bigger split. I'm not a manager. If I were, I would insist on the bigger split in regards to all U.S revenue streams. The U.K sales would be a little more tricky.

    Pac has so much more options that Hatton, and every single fighter from BW-MW wants him. Heck I think Darchinyan wants a piece of Pac & Hopkins mentioned maybe jokingly he would fight Pac. If Hatton doesnt fight Pac who does he have left? PBF rematch is the only one I can think of and thats if PBF would come out.

    Pac has been fighting guys left and right on PPV, Hatton has only had PBF in a big PPV match. I dont think his fight with Castillo, Mallignagi, Urango, Collazo even did close to 250k ppv buys which is what Pac did against SOLIS, I doubt they were even PPV. Pac can fight JMM and that would easily do 600k ppv buys and Pac would get the lions share of the purse for sure...there is also the PBF-Pac match.

    Personally I think Pac should take the 50-50 fight, its a winnable fight and like the DLH fight, can only make him a bigger star. I still think he is the bigger draw though, specially after he showed the whole world what he did to DLH.

    As for the pounds/uk ppv vs US/dollar PPV's. If I recall PPV in UK is £15 and with the drop of the pounds against the dollars(sucks!!), its roughly $21 for £15. If the fight is at $50 in US thats nearly 2.5 as much, If Pac-Hatton does 1mil buys in US, Hatton will need to do 2.5mil in the UK to match it.

    Gacal and his hangers: Manny don't agree on a 50/50, your the p4p king, and your a superstar. Only agree for 60/40!(means more money for the lawyer)

    Manny: (stupidity comes in his thinking) Yah yah Yah! Good thinking!

    Roach: (b*tch slaps Manny and Gacal) Shut up b*tch, we already agreed on 50/50 fool, coz I'm Freddie F*ck*ng Roach b*tch!


    Just bored, and should stop this arguement and damn agree already on an even purse.

    But it ca also go the other way 40% of $40 Mil is $16 Millon

    50% of $0 is $0

    Both men are hard headed. I said it before. Who ever budges will prove to want this fight more. If not, neither of them are as interested in this fight as we are as fans.

    PAC is dumb if Ricky agreed to give 50% of the UK PPV buys. That's a hell of a lot of EXTRA money he had options on if reports I heard are correct. Ricky didn't really need to give PAC options on the UK PPV buys.

    Just like PAC would have the lions share of the US PPV Buys. If they can't agree to 50/50 on the entire deal..meaning UK + US PPV...GATE....PURSE, then just make it 60/40 on the PURSE in favor of PAC and each man keeps their respective options in their PPV Markets.

    JUST MAKE THE ****ING FIGHT!

    No it wouldn't. He got the full UK ppv revenue from the Mayweather fight. 40% of the total of this fight would be less than his total from Floyd.

    I'm sure those arguing against you will be very happy to see you post that. You've given them all the ammo they need to completely write-off and ignore your comments as those of someone utterly out of touch with reality. Congratulations.

    He wants to buy his home country I guess. I was neutral in my support for this fight, but I'm leaning Hatton IF it happens.
