I haven't followed this real close. Too many threads, repetition, etc... We know Arum has stated Pac was in the loop. Has Pac ever said otherwise? I haven't seen it.
In PACs mind he didn't loose...he feels he stood strong the the "PRINCIPLE" of the fight. Meaning is the "end all be all in Boxing" right now so he should get what "HE FEELS" he deserves. It's about EGO with PAC...If it was about GREED....PAC would have taken the 55/45 split! Which was more than fair on Hattons part. By opting out he MADE the Call! he decided that the fight is OFF! So in PAC's mind he WON! And by taking LESSER Money it even moreso stamps it was never about the money....but about feeding his ever growing EGO!. Which IMO needs to be put in Check! Arum.....welll...No surprise Arum was ready to sign last year! For what ever split just as long as he got his share!:rofl So you all know that ARUM shaved a few years off his life by watching the $$$$ Fly out the window.
Evidently Arum DID know his business here. Hatton was only willing to budge a little bit from 50/50 to get this done and wasn't willing to take a lot of **** over it. Arum did well. He didn't gamble millions of dollars away like Pac just did. Proof in the pudding. :deal
How? he wants 60/40. Hes got legacy, Hatton none and will never have one unless he fights Manny or beat Floyd. Pac can fight 3 valeros and make 10 million. Hatton will make lots of money too but he'll have a hard time getting into the HOF. My point is Pac can definitely ask for more. How Arum ignored this because hes had Manny agreed all these years. Now badmouthing him is not how you represent the fighter who carried your promotion for years
Pac can fight three Valeros and make and easy 10 million w/o risk and fight Floyd. This was never a question of money. Arum is a dick and this may land GBP Pac. I wouldnt be surprised.
Actually Ricky bent even more....to the tune of 55/45 for PAC .....just to try even HARDER to meet PAC more than Half way. ARum was ready to sign at 60/40 with out Hattons UK PPV numbers! Which proves Arum was just about getting his $$$....He's a greedy Jewish ****er! I know it's stero typical but he's trying to convince that is an on point stero type. Doing a good job too!
Nonsense. The split comes down to who puts asses in the seats, and who sells PPV's. Pac is lucky to get 50-50.
50/50 was MORE than fair! Considering Ricky agreeing to split his fan Base and PPV revenue! But PAC's ego was on anther level of greed.
you don't know that. team hatton actually said that they're not budging from 50/50 since they are standing pat on the 50/50 verbal deal that arum forged with them. without that 50/50 verbal deal, team hatton could've been more flexible in the negotiations.
You really think the money keeps coming in after the first Valeros? HBO forced Pavlik into the Hopkins fight because Rubio was just another mis match. Pacs stock is going down with each inferior fighter he goes up against. Not only was this a good money move, it was a good career move. Hatton did a token 'blink' because of that. Like I said, the fact Hatton is walking away from this is proof that Arum had the line pretty much where it HAD to be to get this fight done.
