    Like it or not, Hatton sells more than Pacquaio. Pacquaio is the better boxer, so 50/50 is right .

    Pacquaio has not hope of earning half of what he can against Hatton v anyone else.

    are you kidding? Im sure the average buyer knows who myweather is, are you telling me he sold 1.4 million buys against Lazcano or Malignaggi?! jesus. He will sell 1.4 million against Pac tho. Basically what Im saying is, you are thoroughly mistaken.

    What gives you the right to say that kinda ****. This is not a ****ing grocery story where you get more if you bring more cash in. This is BOXING.

    You mean he deserves more money just because he;s from that country?? What kind of logic is that ****. Whoever has done more for boxing should get more. And no matter how you look at it. Pac has more accomplishments.

    You cant discriminate others just because they were born poor. Don't be ignorant.

    Are you having a laugh? No ****ed over here has a clue who Pacquiao is outside of the hardcore boxing fans who would watch Hatton in any case. Pac may be p4p #1 but that is a public perception rather than an official title. 140 is Hatton's backyard, he's the Ring and linear champ. If Pac is going to fight at 140 then Hatton is the only fight making sense

    Don't be an idiot. Its business...if you bring $50m to the table, are you just going to let the man opposite walk away with more than you...are you ****. Its nothing to do with ability, its to do with marketability. Whatever you think, Hatton will sell way more than Pac.

    Of course thats how **** works in business. Thats why its truly pathetic how things works. Pac draws more people, it just doesnt really come into play because those people happens to be poor and can't afford to even buy ppv. Its just hatton puts a lot of money in the table and is hard to refuse what he offers.

    But accomplishment wise, two thumbs up for pac and if you ask me. He deserves more for what he have done. It's just sad, things doesnt go that way.

    Is the average UK buyer really that ignorant of the sport of boxing?

    Agreed, most the ppl I knew, almost eveyone actually hadn't really had heard of mayweather before Hatton. It did 1.4mill as sky advertised like crazy, the build up was even reported on BBC and ITV news and the 24/7 series. Ppl bought the fight in the UK for Hatton.

    ...and posted in bad taste too. One has to hope Icemax is an anomaly than the representation of a UK fight fan. :yep

    Seriously, this whole moneytalk on both camps makes me wanna throw up and puke.

    Not the averga UK fan who had been brainwashed by SKY TV 6 months prior to the fight. Seriously, Sky milk Hatton. Like I said before no mainstream fan would know who pac was untli our tabloids and the TV companies jump on the bandwagon.

    ot ignorrant, the press however are. Just that there are 3 masive sports in Football, Cricket and Rugby before boxing, sadly it is not exposed to the avergae fan as, has been stated before, all fights are on at 4-5am and all the top fights costs a bucket to watch.

    The fact people argue little reasons for 60-40 each side just shows how pathetic it is, **** it just make it 50-50, its a good fight, they'll both get rich.

    Im surprised Pacquaio wants more if its true and not just his handlers....would he make more money fighting anybody else in the world (except floyd) with a 60/40 split than he would a 50/50 with Hatton anyway??

    Same deal as in the US. Don't you know people who buy ODLH fights but wouldn't have much clue who Joe Calzaghe was?
