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

[Violent Demise]

There's a reason Hatton-Lazcano was on Versus and not HBO or Show Time. Nobody in the US gives a fukk about Hatton on his own. Hatton is not the bigger draw here. Pac is. Truth be told, I'm shocked Hatton is even in a position to get 40%. He needs to jump on that. Hatton needs Pac. Pac doesn't need Hatton.

Its coz it was in the UK. HBO offered him big money to have it in the US, but he turned it down because alot of fans travelled to see Mayweather take him apart. I'm not suggesting it would have been on PPV, but HBO wanted it.

Dude, apart from Oscar, Hatton is the biggest earner in the sport right now. I know you can't stand him, but the guy has made millions.

Come on now. Lets not tell tales. The fight was always going to be in the UK. That was the whole point. It was never going to be in the US. HBO wanted to change the start time of the fight. HBO didn't want to show that shiit at noon. Who was going to watch it in the first place? Much less at noon? Hatton for whatever his reasons were said no. HBO said "Fukk you than". "No big loss. We just won't televise it. And didn't televise it. Show Time laughed at it. Versus finally decided to pick it up.

HBO don't like showing fights at noon. It don't benefit them. But some times they don't have a choice. HBO has shown Wladimir Klitschko fight multiple times around noon. They'll give Wlad his way. Cuz Wlad matters. They refused to give Hatton his way. Cuz they know Hatton means nothing here in the US.

I know it was always going to be in the UK, but they asked for the US or at least a US friendly time as you stated. I know why they didn't show it. But honestly...and this will go completely off topic...after showing the 3 fights Wlad has had last year, you believe HBO think all of America is gunna tune in at noon to see him fight?

HBO has no choice but to think it. Who else they going to back? They invested a lot in the Wlad. They going to ride him until somebody brutally knocks him out.

Just saw a local news video saying the Hatton camp already have another world class opponent lined up should it fall through and it would be in the UK, and alot bigger than the vs Lazcano fight.

Any bets who this could be? I still wouldn't mind seeing Hatton beat the shit into Witter

none bigger than pac man, I would have said jump back to 147, and try Cotto o nfor size seeing he will probably be a few cylinders off in his comeback, but he's fighting Jennings...

The only fight that I want to see is Pac vs Hatton and if that dosent pan out then a 3rd Pac vs JMM ... Pac knows JMM has his number and is not to keen on fighting him again.

I think if Pac dosent take on Hatton, and JMM beats Diaz than Pac's #1 PFP will be hanging by a thread if JMM wins

[yvonne]

Its got to be 50/50.Split it all the way down the middle.Does Pacman have to pay tax on this fight?Is that why he wants 60%??

Just read this:
Manny Pacquiao nears agreement to fight Ricky Hatton | The Fabulous Forum | Los Angeles Times

Notice that the article says "Pacquiao's attorney, Franklin Gacal, and the fighter's American and Philippine advisors" and doesn't mention Pacquiao.

It's just people in Pacquiao's camp looking out for Pacquiao.

So given that Mayweather didn't get a thing from England money wise perhaps Hatton's take of the money was actually bigger.

So what are TV rights for Pacquiao in the Philippines and is Hatton on the picture?

One thing for sure is the better the show the more money these two are going to be able to rake in the future.

I'm a Pacquiao fan but I think this is going to be Pacquiao's hardest fight.

[Althugz]

Hatton always talks about how badly he wants to be the P4P number 1 fighter in the world and with all the money he's already made, why would he even be bothered by Pacquaio having the lion's share?

He'd take 40 if he wants it that bad.

Yes.. Hatton made double what Mayweather did because of the Brit PPV - a reported £15-20 million
