Pac's just testing the waters I think. He has more options than Hatton since he can go back to lightweight as well. Probably thinks Hatton needs him more than the other way round.

Hatton does need him more than Pacman needs Hatton, 60-40 is probably right with negoiations Hatton will get his 50-50 split so don't fret Fatman fans!
Pac can go back and get Marquez 3 or anyone else he wants, he just KO'd the PPV king of the last 10 years so that puts the ball in his court. The fight will happen and everyone will be happy including Hatton.
I'm in favor for PAC having the lion's share of the purse split, maybe not less than 55% due to these reasons:
- PAC the no. 1 P4P boxer
- PAC the "hottest" boxer right now
- PAC the early betting favorite against Hatton
- Hatton got only 30% share in the PBF fight (from what I've read)
- PAC got only 35% share in the Hoya fight
- PAC the no. 1 boxer at 140 (according to BoxRec)
- PAC has huge fanbase (maybe a very close second to Hatton's)

Pacquioa is riding a huge wave of momentum and notoriety off of The Delehypa circus.Although Hatton is numero uno at 140 and has an immense loyal fan base at home,Pacquioa is at the wheel with the networks and has numerous options other wise.Hatton needs to look at the bigger picture longterm,when its all said and done I believe he'll come away with more than 40%.All focus on defeating 'Super mighty ultra Pac'...yawn....inside of the ring and not at the bargaining table.He does that and he'll reep the benifits greatly.

Hatton is going to be bringing more people to the seats and gaining more PPV buys. Money in => Money out simple equation. PAC could fight other people but unless PBF unretires no way he makes more money from fighting anyone else. 50-50 is definately reasonable.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

Economically they both bring roughly as much to the table as each other and any difference is outweighed by the commercial worth of these particular two guys fighting each other. Despite what Manny is saying about how he's the star here it'll be interesting to see how many US PPV buys he does when he isn't fighting an American or Latino fighter.

Team PAC usually gets what PAC rightfully deserves to get... Remember Hoya gave in to PAC's demands during the negotiation of their fight... I think eventually Team Hatton will also give to PAC what PAC rightfully deserves to get... and then we will have a fight...
