Hatton-Pac in danger - Pac wants 60-40 split

[Fenster]

Ricky Hatton's fight with Manny Pacquiao under threat - Telegraph

The question is.. is this a sign that Pac's arsehole has gone?

Discuss....

Was just reading another article mate a few minutes ago and thought exactly the same thing

Cannot see Hatton accepting anything less than 50-50 as it would be a HUGE step backwards in terms of self worth and status.
F*ck Pacman...Ricky and his fans are worth way more than that
Wonder if Pac v Floyd were to be negotiated what % would Pac want then because out of the 3 Hatton is the main crowd puller then Manny then Floyd BUT it's a perfect reversal in terms of who the better (alleged) fighters are with Floyd imo being right at the top.
Boxing is so f*cked up it's unreal
Can see this being a non event!

dude Manny has been on a bigger role than Hatton so i can understand a 60/40 split in favor of Pacquiao, and someone can easily argue that Pacquiao's fanbase is just as big or bigger than Hatton's

Hatton will beat his ass any way, even if they fought for a big mac

A 50:50 split sounds right to me. Hatton is a huge draw in the UK and will sell a lot of PPV's. Pac might have just had his big win, but the fight will be at 140 and Hatton is top dog there. 50:50 is fair. Pac will be challenging Hatton and not the other way round.

60:40 is probably what Manny's advisors are feeding him. It would be silly for Hatton to take such an offer. And if Pac doesnt take 50:50 then what does he have? The possibility of Mayweather coming back in time to face him?

The fight makes sense for both guys and with such big money at stake its pointless to squabble over the percentages like this. Just be gentlemen and split it.

Exactly and ti's too big a fight to not happen and would be criminal if we never saw them both fight!
Dunno if Pac fears Hatton so much...more a case of Pac thinking he's the bigger draw.
You really can't split them at all apart from Ricky edging it purely on fanbase and the army that follow him time and time again.
They are both multi millionaires for fucksakes so 50-50 is the only way this will happen imo.

I'm sorry to be the odd man out, but I think 60-40 in Pac's favour is about right.

He's p4p, he's just had a sensational victory over DLH. Hatton hasn't done much at all since beating Tszyu and Castillo.

And let's not forget it'll be 40% of probably a bigger pot than what was on offer for the Mayweather fight.

I think Hatton will beat Manny comfortably, but I certainly believe he should be on the small end of the money...

Your right in terms of Pac being P4P (active) # 1 but this is boxing politics rearing it's annoying head and like i said is all coming down to self worth and Status.
But i agree that in a perfect world Pac should edge it and get a slightly bigger cut but boxing is far from perfect behind the scenes.
Ego clash anyone?

[hackey]

I don't know what Pac's team are thinking. Do they really think a fight with Mayweather could firstly generate much more than this fight and secondly, that Floyd would agree a 50:50 split to fight Manny?
