Ricky's dad was just on radio and basically said last year originally pacs people wanted 60-40 for just the US market and both fighters would keep the money made ffom their own regions of the world which Hatton was more than happy with.When Pacs accountants got word of how much money was in the UK market they quickly changed their minds and decided on a 50-50 split for everything,this was all agreed months ago.Then at the last minute pacs people changed to wanting 60-40 for the whole market.Ray Hatton said Ricky is now looking at fighting another big fight in the UK around June unless Pac's people change their minds.
Seems fair to me, in the UK ricky had just been KO'd and was fighting a fighter who was completely unkown in the UK nevermind the US in Lazcano and still his PPV fight sold well and 55,000 came to watch. So why should PAC have 60 - 40 of a market who couldnt give a **** about him??
Hatton should move on if they dont agree to 50/50 of the whole market... well they did but have now changed their minds, f*ck them and move on, its Pac and his people who will be letting down the fans of both fighters at the end of the day over greed.
Imagine that. Ricky is fabulously wealthy. But being a kid from around the corner his balking now at a 60/40 split? Laughable. The facts remain Manny is the draw here not him. This was his same line as to why he would face Witter. The medicine i guess doesn't taste too good. So Ricky robs the REAL FANS again of a solid super bout because of money?!!?!?! And the Hatton gravy train continues to roll on. Be prepared for Hatton vs Paulie II this summer at Wembely..
If Pac is the draw, why did very few people from the UK buy the PPV when he fought JMM, Diaz or Oscar. In this case, it's the fact he's facing Hatton and us Brits are sure it will be a war means we'll all be buying the PPV. In this case, financially at least, Hatton brings more to the table. 50/50 is spot-on.
Its abundantly clear Manny is the draw. A handshake or a verbal agreement doesn't mean ****. Naturally both fighters will negotiate for as much as they can get. Hatton made a cool £20M for his fight with Floyd after everything was taken into consideration. If Hatton is interested in taking on the best make the fight and shut your mouth. He`s bleated constantly about his whole boy next door demeanor and its nothing more than a PR sham. The guys made enough money from this sport. Its time to give something back. I mean who exactly is he going to fight? Bradley for less? Paulie again for less? Another tin can from 135? or will he actually face a live body at his own weight? Puhlease. The kid is a bad joke.
lol you'll spin anything to make hatton out as the bad guy. do you really believe what you just typed? the deal was agreed and now pac has changed his mind. so if anyone is robbing the fans of this fight it's pac.
wrong on so many levels. a verbal contract is as legally binding as a written one. and as far as pac being the draw, it's about how much money they bring to the table and for arum and roach to think 50:50 is a good deal, then it must be because they've a little more knowledge of the facts than you.
