    Pacquiao vs. Hatton should be 50/50. That said, I'd just as much prefer the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight. At Welterweight.

    I'm gonna stage a hunger strike should this fight get canceled for somebody's insatiable money-lust. :twisted:

    ...unless it's Money May who would replace the Manc.:good

    Pac and Roach were not too excited about the Hatton matchup in the first place. Roach said something like "we want to fight the best, and Hatton got knocked out by Mayweather so..."

    I think Hatton deserves a smaller share of the purse. He's fighting someone who won titles in 2 divisions and moved up 12 lbs to knock out ODLH last year. In contrast Hatton looked like crap coming back against Lazcano and then knocked out Malignaggi.

    Pac is a 5 division champ, 3 times linear. Hatton is a 2 division champ, 1 time linear, arguably lost to a B rated fighter when he moved up (Collazo) and then got ktfo against the first A class opponent he faced at WW.

    For me, I can't figure any way that Hatton deserves as much money as Pac. Pac just knocked out the golden boy. He calls the shots.

    big as Hatton's fanbase is, Pac's is bigger, and he is much more accomplished. Pac is also giving up the weight advantage to Hatton

    and that's why your behind a keyboard and not a promoter making fights. when it comes to splits it's about $$$ and manny might have more fans than hatton but are they going to be buying ppv's?

    Id rather Floyd/Pac than Hatton/Pac... if we get Hatton/Pac 1st the interest in Floyd/Pac will be non-existant if Pac loses but the interest will be just the same for a Hatton/Pac bout if Pac loses to Floyd because Hatton has lost to Floyd & so has everyone else that has stepped in the ring with him.

    Ps. If Manny wants a 60/40 split... he is one greedy little ****er & that same **** could definitely spoil a Pac/Floyd fight, no doubt.

    I don't think weight is an issue Pac's just fought at 147 and Oscar was less than Golden so lets not get too carried away with Pac.Hattons the champ at Junior ,thats his turf Pac-Man can't call the shots at that weight for me

    sure they will. All 3 of Pac's fights were on PPV last year. 400K vs JMM, 250K vs Diaz, 1.25M vs Oscar

    None of Hatton's fights we on PPV last year, at least not in North America

    That is a losing way though, but you have a good point. But in your sight, If pac ever win against Floyd(if he choose Floyd first). Then Hatton-Pac won't be much exciting or a huge event since Floyd has two aces already and Hatton doesn't have the ace.

    In reality Floyd holds two of the aces a win against Hoya and Hatton. Floyd-Pac would not definetly be huge if Pac doesn't hold a Hatton card(which he only holds a Hoya card at the moment). If Pac manage to win against Hatton, then a Mayweather - Pacquiao could be a very huge bout due to both fighter having all the Aces. Get what I mean.

    So Pac has to get 1 more Ace or if he fails .... 2 aces against 1 is a sure lose(referring he would never get Floyd if he lose to Hatton).

    Floyd is not serious if i'ts true they're talking with PACQUIAO camp. He just wants an attention that's why he's stirring things up. Not yet, he's not coming out of the cave yet! :hat

    Those numbers would indicate to me that Oscar was the draw
