    If 50/50 can't be made...Hatton should just pull out.

    He can make plenty of coin against other opponents. Sure there's good money here but if they keep dicking him around like this then that will (and has) been getting less and less.

    50/50, or it's simply not worth the hassle.

    I agree.....i just hope it's a "Negotiation strategy" that the PAC handelers are banking on....Hopefully at the last min they will agree to the terms. 50/50 straight down the middle with everything is incredibly fair considering the UK PPV buys Hatton is willing to split.

    Thats not the issue...he's BEEN calling the shots in negotiation. TWICE over they revamped the contract to meet PAC's requests. Unfortunately MONEY is what is driving the delay in getting the contracts signed and Greed is the outcome of the major Money that is on the table.

    Well....50/50 is definitely worth the hassel considering how much money is on the line...but out of principle and respect as a Champion himself and professional its not worth it. PAC has been the shot caller with negotionations from jump and hatton has been very accomodating! At the end of the day Hatton can leave the fight alone with a clear mind knowing he bent over backwards trying to secure the fight. PAC will have to live with knowing he let GREED get the better of him and loosing out on a great legacy building fight which also included MILLIONS!!!

    Ray Hatton:

    "We have the offer of another massive fight in the summer, in the British Isles, which would bring a crowd of 80,000 or more.

    We are extremely serious in our threat that we will pull the plug on Pacquiao and go for that alternative if that contract is not signed. We will not be messed around."
