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

[Mar]

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.

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.

No Pac is making his excuses and pricing himself out.

I can't see an argument why it should be anything other than 50:50. Pac is p4p no.1 & obviously doesn't deserve anything less than half of what's on offer, but the simple fact is that with ODLH probably either retired or 1 fight away from it, Hatton is now the biggest draw in the sport in terms of the numbers of fans he brings to a fight & the PPV numbers he does (in the UK at least).

Also, I don't know how it is in the States, but in the UK, Pacquiao lacks the basic name recognition that other boxers like Shane Mosley, PBF & RJJ have amongst your general sports fans who will maybe buy an event like that.

Like I say that is in the UK though. I mean I don't know the difference between Hatton & Pacquiao in the US in terms of name recognition, but I'd be interested to know if someone impartial could tell me.

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.
