Is Hatton - Manny Pac goona happen???

[littlebif]

Bob Arum fought the fight would be signed today with Manny agreeing to a 50/50 share and splitting the uk PPV sales by 50/50.But Pacquiao has changed his hind again over night does he really want the fight.Both Freddie Roach and Arum say its a good deal so why doesnt Pacquiao see it that way?

With Hatton not budging from 50/50 and Many wanting 60/40 will the fight happen?

[Lance Uppercut]

Manny is delusional if he thinks he deserves 60%.

[rjj tszyu]

I hope so!

[yvonne]

I heard that their have both agreed 50/50 and their both have signed already!!

That should be how it has gone.... Both these fighters should have a mutual respect for what each other means to the sport and what they have achieved. Neither really needs to play the power game of who deserves more money.. After this fight though either fighter can name their price.

RING Magazine said they're going to go with the 50/50 split on the grounds of England will produce huge PPV numbers to watch Hatton fight while the Philippines shows the fight nationally for free. Since Hatton will be bringing in that type of revenue, he deserves the 50% split.

I'm not positive the fight is signed yet because the specifics aren't settled yet. Specifics as in, gloves, venue, etc..

Pac was a proven draw in the US. Hatton's only Money making & PPV in the US was his KO loss to PBF. Why do you think that Pac PPV fight vs Solis & Diaz still made Money? Why Hatton's fight with Pauli, Collazo, Urango & Castillo were not in PPV? If Pac fight those guys I'm sure it will be PPV. Also Check Hatton's rating on Free TV in the US, he's not that Popular in the US like Pac is.

PBF vs Hatton made money because of PBF recent fight with DLH. Without PBF fighting DLH first, that fight will not made such money. Pac deserves the Lion share on this fight.

Pac does NOT deserve 60%. Hatton is the man at 140 and has a huge draw himself. And as C-Lo correctly points out Hatton is the one who will likely generate up to a million PPV buys in the UK. Thats serious money and as much as I hate DLH it was the DLH name that boosted the DLH:Pac fight as far as it went.

Pac is being a greedy moron by holding out for 60%. He should be a gentleman and split the purse. I hate these guys that squabble over purses. The revenue is huge and the last I heard the Philipines isnt so expensive. 50% is more than enough. Wake up and smell the roses, Manny!

According to the what I've read on it, Roach always thought the fight should be 50/50 the whole way. Pac had nothing to do with any of the purse negotiations. It was supposedly "his people" as in lawyers, advisors, management team that tried to push for a 60-40 purse.

The lawyer of Manny says they're giving Hatton until February to accept the offer of 60/40 or else there will be no fight. According to him, they haven't agreed on anything yet.


To be honest, I want the fight to be done even at 50/50 but I guess the time is right for Manny to ask for 60/40.

Hatton gave castillo a much much lower share. PBF gave hatton a lower share. DLH gave Pac a lower share. BArrera gave PAc a lower share. Morales gave Pac a lower share.People see it as okay. Why can't it be okay for Manny to play their game? Is it because Manny is from a third world and he has no right to bargain?

Just asking.


This is why I hate negotiations. I hate being a diplomat for my alliance in-game.

I am a fan of both and I would like to see the fight to proceed.... I won't discuss about sharing anymore coz people are just so sensitive with it.

I can agree with Pac getting 60:40 in big fights. But not when the other guy can sell so many PPV's in the UK.

I wonder if Arum jumped the gun in telling Hatton it was 50/50? Or did Manny agree to that @ 1st & then change his mind when people told him he deserves a 60/40 split? If Manny 1st told Arum 50/50 was OK with him but then changed his mind, that put Arum in a tough spot. If that's what happened, it's similar to Manny saying yes to Oscar a few years ago but then going back on that deal too.

If Manny sticks to 60:40 Hatton should dump the fight. Its a fight that makes sense to both guys financially so 50:50 is where its at. If Pac says no then it means he's holding out for either PBF, a fight against a top WW or most likely a move back down to 135 and a possible fight with JMM. Manny would be sensible to take the offer in a fight that would generate huge figures. The Floyd fight probably would not generate as much interest and Pac might not even get 50% for that. He should wise up and take the 50% and Hatton shouldnt waste too much time waiting. Its a great opportunity for both fighters, but Pacs team seems to have the touch of the diva about it right now.

[BlackRazor]

I agree miles - seems like it's an ego thing too now. I keep reading conflicting reports that a 50/50 share is a go & then it's not. If Manny takes this fight & were to win, he could set himself up for a huge fight with PBF in the Fall. The current P-4-P guy against the guy who had that "title" before retiring.
