Manny Didn't fancy the fight

  1. Simple... he just thought fighting Hatton at this stage would have been too risky

    NOW before all you Manny lovers / Hatton haters get all wound up, Im not saying Manny was scared !!!

    I just belive he want's to sit on his P4P title for a while and he thought Hatton would have been to risky because if he lost.. he would have lost the p4p title and a shot at PBF (if he comes back) and after that he doesn't have that many options except fighting a JMM III or a LW/LWW champion with no name.

    Certainly seems that way, $12 mill+ for fighting Hatton or $4 mill (maybe!!!) for fighting Valero?

    All stories indicate that Pac is the reason why this fight is not happening. He is getting too money hungry and i blame him for this fight not happening. What a sham!!! He is a brilliant fighter and seems like a very nice guy, but he has dropped down a couple of pegs in my opinion.

    Absolutely gutted that the fight looks likely not to happen, however every line has a silver lining. Hatton will fill a stadium of 80 - 100k in the uk & Pac will see who the bigger star is!!!! Just hope its not Oscar.

    well you may not be saying he was scared but i certainly am

    he was obviously terrified of hatton otherwise he wouldve took the ****ing fight cause regardless of the 2 or 3 per cent in the purse split he will not make the same kind of money with anyone else

    so i will gladly say it like it is manny was scared
