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

[Violent Demise]

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

[bzkfn]

It should be 50/50. Hatton is the bigger draw and will pull in more PPV buys, but Pac is the more accomplished boxer. Pac won't get more money fighting someone else. Hatton could prob get the same money fighting Oscar at Wembley...even after what happened on Dec 6th.


If Ricky takes less he's stupid. I honestly can't see a way in which he wins this fight and he won't be in a good position to bargain if he continues to fight on after this one.

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)

I'm just presenting the FACTS pare that might be considered in the negotiating table...

But I think all is well now with both boxers receiving 50% on everything including the UK PPV revenues...

At the end of the day, credible arguments can be made on both sides about who deserves the greater share of the purse. 60-40 with the winner taking the bigger share of the purse seems like the best decision to me. I think all fights should come with with a bonus for the winner of the fight.

140 isn't the division that it used to be. Hatton will struggle to find a fight with a third as much limelight as this fight will get. The only one I could think of is Hatton against Witter and 1)Hatton isn't going to fight Witter and 2) that fight would only be as big of a draw as a Hatton vs. Pac fight in the UK. In the States average fight fan probably doesn't even know who Witter is. And throw in the other names at 140 like Bradley, Holt, Ngoudjo and you won't find very much anticipation among your average boxing fan for a fight against Hatton. Pac has alot more options. Now if Hatton decided to move up to 147 than were talking a whole new ballgame.

we all know that. but come on. there are still a lot of people here who doesnt think of pac as a ppv draw. thats how people are. we all know pac is the bigger draw here base on what he has accomplished this past year. 3 fights in one year. 2 for the belt, one for recognition. everybody doubted him yet he accomplished what we had to do. if anything, arum is the one who gets the blame for this mess. regardless of what happens, promoters get paid. the dont have to get punched in the head to earn their living. what do they care?

Without DLH fight, Pac PPV tops 400K with the JMM fight. Now that he beat DLH in spectacular Fashion, his numbers will grow up exponentially.

What was Hatton's PPV #s? 850K over PBF? But this happens after PBF beat DLH. So you Credit PBF's beating DLH for that. Why do you think Hatton's fight after that is not PPV? Coz it won't sell.

[Boom Boom]

Absolutely not. Should be 50/50. Anything else is just disrespectful to the other guy, greedy and arogant on the part of the guy making more imo.

[brucelee]

well what can I say?



Let the word wars begin among fans!!!!


In the end, it will be 60:40 for Pac or else Marquez/ Juarez will be seeing action against Pac this May.






And Hatton.... will have none.





I'm a Hatton fan!!!

Excuse him. His knowledge is very limited.

[brucelee]

hahaha. That's what I heard from a Philippine TV. Hehehe. I was also shocked. Team Pacquaio is doing some psy-war.


Anyway, I've decided not to debate about this coz negotiations are dirty. The two should fight and money should be decided later. I like C-Los suggestion.

40-40. The winner gets the remaining 20.


Btw, I've owned you more than enough VD and stop with your one-liner. hehehe.


edit: coz you ain't cute....

Like Ricky's 95:5 he got V Castillo?
