I presume this is the link you are talkig about http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12183_4841382,00.html
on Hatton's official site they have always said it was a 50/50 split, it is only bob arum saying 52/48. I think aslong as Pac was guarenteed $12,000,000 he was happy. Anyway Hattons official site does now say that Hatton has recieved the contract and everything does seem to be to their liking.
Latest news from Hatton's official site - "Gareth Williams has confirmed that the signed contract for the bout with Manny Pacquaio is now in hand and is under review. Gareth is confident this fight will go ahead and an official announcement will be made once all aspects of the contract are reviewed and Ricky has agreed to all the terms contained within. Thanks Craig"
This fight was aways on. They wanted to work us all up into a frenzy and create some bad blood to help sell the fight more. :good
Nobody really thought a fight this big wasnt going to happen. There is way too much money to be made.
