No never said it was Hattons problem...each fighter wants the most they can get....
And again the not taking the 52-48 and ending on a 50/50 makes Pacquiao seem like he and his people are agreeable to work with....The 50/50 is almost guarenteed thats what they wanted from day 1....
In the futture more promoters etc will be willing to haggle becaus ehe seems to be a guy who will bargin
That is why I mentioned Hopkins..he just would insist on one price and that is it...cost him millions
I don't get what you're saying here daxx? It was Pac that wanted the larger cut.
He refused a 50/50 split. Apparently that's why the fights not happening. His own promoter Bob Arum called the decision "bizarre."
Exactly Fenster, thats what I was confused about too. I respect you Daxx, as you are one of the most knowlegable posters on here imo, but youve caught me off guard on this one and I cant understand your logic. Pac wants the larger cut, not an even split, he wants to make more money than Hatton for the fight plain and simple. Hatton never demanded the lions share, Pac did.
