Couple of recent news articles suggest it's on at 52-48 - with Arum topping up Manny out of his own pocket. http://www.mb.com.ph/SPRT20090121146194.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/ot...m-forced-pay-Pacquiao-secure-Hatton-bout.html The Daily Mail's not the most reliable source. Don't know anything about the Filipino site.
good news. i hope this settles the issue about pac being a greedy little *******. manila bulletin is a reliable source in the P.I.
In latest news Pacquiao is demanding that a clause be put in the contract that Hatton is only allowed to train 90% as hard for the fight as him. Obviously, with Pacquaio being the number one P4P, people expect him to be the slickest, quickest, fittest boxer in the world, so for another fighter to come to the ring as fit as him would demonstrate a lack of respect. Also Hatton is only allowed to throw 90% as many punches as Pacquiao and hit 90% as hard.
I really don't hope we don't get stupid clauses like this ala the DLH fight like he can not weigh more tha Manny on fight night or whatever it was
Haha.. You forgot about Hatton only being allowed to have 10% of his fanbase, just so people know Manny brings more to the table....
:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl So if hatton gets knocked down is the ref only allowed to count to 9. cuz thats lyk 90% of the way to 10
for christs sake. can we please get this damn fight signed already. if it doesn't happen, the only thing that will make me feel better would be pacman v mayweather. who else honestly is there?
Pacs main backup fight if Hatton doesn't come off is against a retired boxer who has shown no real interest in fighting again, it kind of shows he's being a little stupid over all this Hatton percentage business.
