Looks like Hatton- Paquiao is off

[littlebif]

To me this is just all talkit's all about winding people up and getting people talking about it.Im not even going to get worked up over it,i dont believe the hype and thats all this is "Hype!"It's on for sure.Chow

I hope your right but i think if the fight was going to happen it would of been signed hope iam wrong.But the signs dont look good with Hatton already lined up a couple of fighters to fight him in England in the summer.

[C-Lo]

I gotta say, if Jmm goes onto beat Diaz and then Hatton, he would be the new PFP#1 IMO

Juan is all about fighting the toughest competition and not bitching out over a few percent

If that happens, beating Casamayor, Diaz, then Hatton, he is definitely going to steal the top spot. Damn, then that would set up one hell of a P4P battle with Pac. If Marquez wants to get all that done he better not waste anytime. He's getting old. Diaz in Feb, Hatton in July, then Pacquiao in December. The thought of it makes me shiver.

I think the same thing too. This is just to get the boxing world talking about it. Now we're all depressing about it not happening then all of a sudden, BOOM! Fight is signed, now we're just that much more excited about it.

I for one would like the match-up to happen right away. But figure if Hatton and Pac fight down the road while beating other fighters along the way, it will build hype like crazy.

Pac refusing 50-50 is his way of not wanting the fight. Fukk him.

I ain't no fan of Pac. I recognize his greatness. But I'm far from a fan. I ain't no fan of Hatton either. I recognize his....his. He's got titles. I acknowledge that. But not a fan. Both these fighters have huge groupie fan clubs that rush to there defense at any posts not calling them master. All that blind lust leads to finger pointing. Neither side is capable of seeing the truth. When your on the outside looking in the truth is plain and simple.

Hatton should take his 40% and shut the fukk up. Cuz really that 40% is still to high. This fight should really be 70-30 for Pac. For one reason. And one reason only. He beat Oscar. Yes Oscar was shot. Beyound shot. But Pac still fought him and beat him. Hatton didn't. Hatton was offered the Oscar fight. But like a biitch he said no. He turned from white to yellow. If he would of took the fight and won he would be in the driver seat calling the shots. He could dictate his terms to anybody. Including Mayweather. But no. The thought of him flying into the ring post in back to back fights was haunting his dreams. So he turned the fight down. Like a biitch. Now shut the fukk up and take your 40% and be graceful your even getting that.

I gotta admit, I dont agree whatsoever with you on that. You say Oscar is the reason Pac should have the higher percentage ?. But isn't the fight for Ricky's title ? Isn't it at Ricky's weight class ? A weightclass that he's dominated for 5 years. Also Hatton brings the bigger following. Just cuz Pac beat Oscar means not a lot IMO when it comes to who should get the higher purse.

And Ricky turned down the ODLH fight as he already had a verbal agreement with Paulie Malignaggi and stayed true to his promise to fight him. Unlike some.

Your right on that. But Pac is the hotter fighter. He's p4p number 1. He's taking the bigger risk by going to Hatton's weight class. And he has just as many groupies as Hatton does. More in the US than Hatton does. On top of that he did what Hatton didn't think he could do. And that's beat Boxings most popular fighter.

As far as who brings the revenue to the fight Hatton probably brings more than Manny. Manny beating Oscar only makes him a draw with hardcore boxing fans. Put him in a PPV where his opponent isn't either American or Latino and how many buys will he sell? Hatton brings up to $30 million to the promotion just from UK TV PPV buys. That's the equivalent of 600 000 US PPV buys. Manny isn't worth 600 000 more PPV buys than Hatton to the promotion and Manny's domestic TV revenue would bring in the region of $50 000. He'll earn only a fraction of what he could make fighting Hatton for his next fight while Hatton will make ten million plus fighting somebody at Wembley. Manny bottled it.

(Or at least he may well agree in a day or a week. IIRC the Oscar negotiations went on for a couple of months and it was on again off again till they finally agreed. He already got Hatton down to 53-47, maybe it ends up 55-45. But if there's no agreement, because Manny is turning down a payday far in excess of anything else he can make fighting somebody else, he's clearly bottling the fight.)

If Hatton should so readily take 40% how come Pac's promoter (Arum) and trainer (Roach) think he's gone CRAZY for fucking this fight up?

They think 50% is great. Which in reality means they think 50% is INCREDIBLY fucking great! Pac ain't getting a career high payday against anyone else.

Hatton brings the money. Pac has shot himself in the foot through pure GREED.

You seriously got to ask? I expected better. Anyway, it's obvious both Arum and Roach are better off with the fight happening instead of it not happening. They both have ties to Pac. So it's either for them to try and convince Pac than it is Hatton.

And I think it's more fear than greed.

this is gonna feel awkward coz im agreeing with VD for the first time but he is right. hatton had his chance to fight oscar and he didnt. manny took the fight with a 68-32 split or somthing like that and he won the fight. now its manny's time to negotiate for a bigger split. disregard the hardcore boxing fans and followers of both men and talk to casual boxing fans and ask them who is pacman and who is hatton. most of them will tell you hatton was the man who pbf knocked out and pac is the man who beat the bigger odlh. and then ask yourselves which fighter made them buy a ppv fight?

Hatton gave in on the demands and conceded a few % to Pac... While Manny wont even pick up the phone to anyone even Freddie Roach.

I read that also. Freddie Roach has been trying to get hold of Manny Pacquiao but he ain't answering his phone, pathetic. Really disapointed with the way Manny has acted.

[Mar]

I think for whatever reason fear i doubt being one of them manny isn't as confident he can beat hatton as other people around him are. I mean c'mon these closer percentages were more than fair and both guys have earned thier money but damn manny.....on the other hand now hatton knows what witter was going through on a much smaller smaller scale. If nothing manny backing out is sort of a semi victory for ricky in a way all fear the new boxing dancing mayweather approved hatton i guess he can use that for awhile.
