Did Mayweather Approach Manny?

[DaxxKahn]

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.

No I understand Pac's is the one who wanted the bigger share....I just don't thhink that they were really firm with it....I think that the demanding they got the bigger share gave them something to bargin with...

EG-- Could have helped them make sure they could bend on the money to guarentee the venue...

Gloves..

PPV money over all etc.....

This way as time goes on they start agreeing to take come down on their share if they can have something else in return....

Also I have seen it done to feel out exactly how bad the other side wants the fight and what leverage they really have....

There are a ton of reasons and of course I do not know exactly why...But there is usally logic behind things like that and it is usually not so much a money issue as a barginning issue...

We have all haggled in our life I am suspecting so kind of in that manner just on a larger scale....

I have seen guys in the past take less to get the venue choice, gloves, length of training camp, catch weight, willingness to allow extra weight...and so on...

I am guessing on it all assuming there is an angle.....

OR

I am totally wrong and Pacquiao is just not thinking right but I still want to stand on the first thought uintill I hear more from the camps of both
