I really can't understand Pacquiao's mentality

[CGM]

Right I may come for alot of heat for this, but I plain just don't understand why Manny is turning down a 52-48 revenue split for the Hatton fight. While people may think Pac is worth more, Arum himself said that Pac will receive and $11m guarantee, much more than Ricky will make and the revenue is on top. Considering the amount of revenue Hatton generates, I'd say that split is very fucking fair. Considering the fact that Roach said Valero was the alternative option for $3m, Pac is a fool. If his promotor thinks he's crazy, Roach thinks he's crazy, then surely Manny is wrong here. Now I hear he's said Mayeather is on the table. Does he think Floyd will allow him a larger share of the revenue? I highly doubt it. Honestly, I can't see how Manny can make more money elsewhere, and for fucks sake, who needs more than $11m plus a 52% share of the fucking revenue? They're both doing the same fucking job in the ring! Pac is already a millionaire. No wonder people turn their back on boxing when shit like this happens. It makes a mockery of the sport.

Are you sure it's 11million plus the revenue? Usually when you hear the word guarantee I would think it means 11 million or 52% of revenues, whichever is greater. So that if total revenues are in fact around $22 million, and teh split is 52-48, then the actual split will be about $11.5 to $10.5 million. Just asking.

I read the final offer was actually $13m guarantee with the 52/48 PPV split and Hatton's guarantee was only a 1/3 of that. (by F. Roach) I really think the details behind the guarantee were kept from Pacquiao or his attention was distracted from it.

From what I've read, the $11m is what Top Rank will pay him. Twas a quote from Arum on an article I read. The revenue is on top of this.
