Hatton v Pacquiao at risk says Hattons lawyer

Yes I will be bothered I am really looking forward to this one.

The Hatton's are notorious greedy *******s though so I'm not suprised there's difficulty negotiations.

60/40 in Pacquiaos favour is reasonable I think.

 

I'd agree with that, the trouble is like it or not Hatton does bring a lot (maybe more than anyone) to the table revenue wise because of the hordes of english fans he brings over etc etc.

 

Hatton needs to use his head here. 40% of a Pacman purse is probably better than 70% of a purse against any other active fighter out there.

Plus this is his chance to become the linear P4P No 1

 

He would not become p4p #1, someone like Marquez or Calzaghe would be promoted. People would say (maybe quite reasonably) that Pac was too small and not proven at 140.

You could say the same thing for Pac, a Hatton fight is bigger grossing than any other possible opponent out there except maybe Mayweather who is a retired welterweight. Both guys would do better out of this fight than any other available to them. Both bring big money and fans, but Hatton maybe more so bearing in mind the massive UK PPV market (for all Pac's popularity in the far east I doubt any of them will be paying to watch the fight). Pac is p4p #1, but Hatton is the linear light welter champ and also a p4p fighter himself who has never lost at the weight. I'd say 50-50 is very much fair.

If Pac insists on 60-40 then all of the UK PPV upside should go to Hatton and I think we can guess who'd end up with the bigger purse then.

 

What is the basis for this comment? The only other Hatton fight I ever remember not coming off due to a row over money was Vivian Harris and that was because Harris turned down an offer of twice his previous highest payday.

 

Yeah I love how Hatton makes the rules up as he goes along to suit him.

First he says if he beats Mayweather he will become pound for pound best fighter in the world.

He gets knocked the **** out on his back.

Then now if he beats Manny Pac he will become pound for pound best fighter in the world.

Hattons (Ricky and Ray) rountinely spout a load of shite to suit themselves.

 

Fair play to Pac. I hope he digs his heels in.

He doesn't need to take less than 60% against anybody, except Mayweather if that situation arised. He is the figurehead of the sport right now. He is top of the castle, and if somebody wants to knock him off...pay up.

If you don't wanna pay up Ricky...take your money and fight somebody else. Pacquiao will take his status with him hi:

 

Me thinks the Pinoy is getting scared. He's the one backing out of the 50/50.

He wants 60% to get his arse kicked. I don't blame him.

 

I havn't seen Pacquiao's head bouncing off any ring posts lately.

He deserves 60% because he's the best. Hatton isn't, and was a massive failure last time he attempted to be. Pacquiao should fight a true p4p elite like Marquez.

 

There's a lot of things noone has seen Pacquiao do, including fight at 140.

Now, he may just feel like he's worth a 60/40 split over the champion of a division that he has never fought in. Or maybe he understands that he's getting his arse kicked and wants a little more money for it.

I'm just saying, it could be.

 

You are one clown ass deluded Hatton loon.

Pacquiao ain't afraid of anyone. He took on Fishnets when every clueless internet pundit was writing him off in here, when he jumped up 12lbs after having ONE fight at 135. Pacquiao is a marvel, a weight jumping marvel. Like he's afraid of Hatton after he got bounced off a ringpost and then hurt by Juan Lazcano. Hatton can't even fight one weight above his natural fighting weight and you want to talk about Pacquiao being scared.

Hatton loons :nut

 

Hatton's happy with a 50/50. Pacquiao isn't.

You have to look a little deeper into these things sometimes.

 

Of course Hatton is happy. He just got introduced to a ring post and then beat Lazcano and Malignaggi, now he's negotiating with the p4p #1, 2 fights later. I bet he's happy with 50/50.

Pacquiao has 60% on the table. Hatton can take that, if he really thinks he can become p4p #1.
