Poll: Does Pacquiao Deserve a 60% Share Against Hatton?

[Gandalf]

Not at all. He is a quality fighter facing another hugely popular fighter. That other fighter is top of the pile at 140 where Pac wants to fight though, its a 50:50 split.

I don't think he deserves 60-40. It should be 50-50. Hatton is the kingpin at 140. Pacquiao is coming to 140. Pacquiao is P4P #1, but in terms of fans, I think they're equal. Hatton did 850,000 with Mayweather. Pacquiao hasn't done more than 400,000 without ODLH. I don't understand how he feels he deserves 50-50. If I were Hatton, I wouldn't take the fight unless it's 50-50 just on principle.

And Pac wouldnt get a bigger fight elsewhere. I hope its just accountants talk we are dealing with and it gets settled soon. Ive been to the Philipines and its pretty cheap out there, god knows what Pac needs the 60% for! Its just crazy talk. With UK accountancy Hatton needs the bigger share!

I think Hatton needs Pac alot more than Pac needs Hatton, Hatton doesn't have any other huge fights out there(unless he moves up but don't think he will again) Pac on the other hand has alot of big options(PBF,Marquez 3) what percent did HAtton take against PBF?

[donnydarkoIRL]

I can't see any reason to justify Pac claiming 60%

He's not the one with the title.
I don't believe he's the bigger draw.
He's actually more accustomed to fighting in the U.S. than Hatton.


If Pac wants 60% he should put on a championship stake, the winner walks away with 60% the loser 40%

Hell yea he does....and so does hatton for that matter. What i mean is these guys after all the hard work and punches they have taken deserve whatever they can weasel their way into right or not. But in this case a 50/50 seems more than fair since both bring a ton to the table. Let's talk about baseball ..when it comes to money not deserved.

50:50 split...

I wonder how many of the yes votes were from pac fan poys... If you asked them whether Pac deserved all of the world's wealth they would still say yes.

[littlebif]

Hatton's deserves a 50/50 split he is the number 1 at LW and its his belt on the line.Manny is P4P number 1 i know but Hatton will bring 1000s of fans from the UK with him then there is the PPV from the UK.

If Pacquiao tries to get a fight with Mayweather there is no way he would get a 60-40% in his favor it would be Mayweather that would get the higher pertentage,so why try this against Hatton.

Nope,if Jones could try to hold Hopkins up for 70-30 at one point,when Hopkins had 3 belts and Jones had none,I think Pac having all the heat on him right now gets 60-40
Im more of a Hatton fan then I am a Pac fan,but I know whose hot.
Look at how Kessler got held up at gunpoint by Calaghe,and he had more belts. Kessler went in to the ring hurt,because he was positive that if he didnt,he wouldnt get him again.

Hatton will bring many more fans to Vegas, thus bringing Vegas more revenue.

No he won't. There's a lot of flips out here in the west coast.

Pac title is the #1 P4P. Who cares about IBO belt?

This is the way I see it too. It's a question of who needs who most. This is the only winnable fight out their for Hatton (due to his size advantage) that would considerably elevate his status p4p which he's obsessed with.

[Violent Demise]

Who gives a fukk? Just fight so I can see one of them lose.
