Hatton v Pacquiao at risk says Hattons lawyer

Last time he did that the fight did 500k PPV buys worldwide, approx 40% of what Hatton/Myweather did in the UK alone. Pac is a greedy little **** and if he wants 60% he should be told to take his little dwarfy arse, and his status and shove it. Little **** is going to get his arse handed to him anyway...status or not:deal

 

[quote="TKO";3236224]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.[/quote]

I was joking mate, hence the

I cringe everytime he says he'll be P4P no1 if he beats Pacman.

Everybody knows how P4P is subjective, not lineal, why does he refuse to accept it?

 

Ray is to blame for all this, he should **** off back to his tape measure and underlay.

 

That's okay. If I was Pacquiao and Hatton tried playing hard ball I would say...

:hi:

That's Hatton's little delusional dream of being p4p...down the toilet. Pacquiao can further cement his vastly superior resume elsewhere.

 

Blame for what? not letting his son get financially shafted? or letting the Pinoy gangsters renege on a supposed deal?

 

For being a greedy disrespectful ****. Typical of the Hatton's, very inflated opinion of themselves.

 

Resume?? what the **** has that got to do with anything? This is about dollars, and who brings what to the table. Hatton brings guaranteed travelling support, and 1m plus PPV buys in the UK. Pac brings an entourage that needs three coaches to transport it about and 100,000,000 supporters back home who will probably all pile into 3 semi-detached houses in Manilla to watch the fight generating absolutely **** all revenue.....oh yeah, and his status :-(. The more money you bring with you, the more money you should expect to extract from the deal, thats business and has absolutely **** all to do with how good anyone is, or what their status or resume looks like

 

So you think that a down the middle split is being greedy, that looks like equity to me

 

Pacquiao's PPV market in the US is vastly underrated by the likes of you. He did 20 million against Marquez, who is not a popular fighter. He might have got the Mexican vote, but not a huge draw. It takes two fighters to make a great fight, more casual fans in the UK would pay to see him against the p4p #1 again. It takes two fighters to sell a fight :deal

Either way, none of this means ****. Hatton can take it or leave it as far as Manny Pac is concerned. He knows he can hold out because he is the top dog in the sport, he fulfils Hatton's sporting ambition. Hatton will break eventually, or some arrangement will be found whereby Hatton gets something with the British PPV numbers.

Manny Pac is crushing Hatton at the negotiation tables. Just like he would in the fight when Hatton swallows his pride and accepts he just got KO'd rcently :smoke

 

Exactly and Ray is a businessman of course. There is no decency in him, he can't think to himself, "Well Pac is the P4P1 coming off a massive fight let's give a little ground we're rich as **** anyway". No a ***** like Ray Hatton would never think in that way.

 

I don't think it has anything to do with greed, Bob Arum has verbally agreed to a 50/50 split. A verbal agreement can be just as binding as a written one in court. It's the principle. You can't be promised one thing then at the last minute have it thrown back in your face, that's just insulting. Hatton's probably bringing the lions share of the money into this fight, and Pac's boxings number1 man right now, so it balances to a 50/50 split.

 

I would love to see Ray Hatton taking on the might of Bob Arum on a "verbal agreement". Let's take that one to court...round 1

Trotter...any idea on how that would go down?
