Are you reading what Ray Hatton said.......HATTON AGREED TO 60-40 IN THE US, and they will each keep their share from their own regoin. IN THE UK HATTON IS THE DRAW, NOT PAC!!! How many times does everyone has to keep repeating this until it sinks in. Pacs team is being greedy, in the US i agree PAC is the bigger draw hence he is getting the bigger slice. I'd blame Pacs team if this fight didn't happen.
manny isn't the draw though he would never get the ppv sale hatton can acheive or the crowd liek that or not.
pac is definitely the draw in the country (US) where this fight is set to happen. he is also the best fighter (p4p #1) in boxing as well as its face to attract new fans to the sport. more than just a money thing, it is also a status/prestige thing. i just can't see how a very well-known and popular p4p#1 fighter should get equal share to a fighter of lower status and less accomplished than him. he should get even just a slightly higher share reflecting his current status in this sport. it's like all his effort to become the best fighter in the world doesn't matter at all.
Hatton should find anther fight if he's not willing to budge or if PAC's not willing. I was under the impression that Hatton was keeping all rev from UK PPV anyway. He'd be dumb to give that to anther fighter. That's his fan base and his dough! Purse...as I said before should be 60/40 for PAC but Hatton has a great loyal fan base in the UK...why should anyone get dibs on that. Floyd didn't which is why at the end of the day Hatton made out with more money than the then P4P king. I think Hatton should fight JMM...beat him convingingly and force a fight with Manny for 50/50 given the closeness of the rematch with JMM and PAC. If Hatton can beat Juan by more than a couple of rounds like PAC did I think PAC would be willing to split everything down the middle....but I just hope PAC and Hatton work this out somehow. This fight looks like a barn burner!
thanks for typing that out, you saved me the trouble. its funny how keyboard boxing gurus claim more competence than professional promoters, accountants and lawyers.
What troubles me is where does Ricky go if the fight is not made? Presumably Pac is holding out to see if team Mayweather offer more money. But for Ricky the route seems Pac then PBF if he can beat Pac. There isnt a big money fight out there other than that. Marquez would be all wrong for Hatton. I fancy Hatton to beat Pac, but I think Marquez might have his number. Plus the fact that Joe Bloggs has no idea who JMM is and even if Hatton wins the sceptics will look at the weight differences
