Pacquiao / Hatton Fight?

[fan johnny]

"Manny had a problem with one thing in the deal but we worked it out," Arum said. "I massaged something in the deal, which I'm not going to tell you about, but it didn't cost me anything. We got it done."

What the hell is that?

He has promised to suck manny off should he sign the contract

, are you sure that name wasn't Hatton, if he looses?

[OumaFan]

I will refrain from LOLing at every one calling Manny a pussy until the contract is officially signed. But I'm already in preparations for it, like Oscar I'm in the best shape of my life.

Signed dude! Arum called the LA Times.

end of the day manny knows it would be stupid to turn down such a big money fight. i thought the whole not signing the contract thing might of been a bit of hyping the fight up in a weird kind of way .glad it is all back on tho . COME ON

I don't blame Pacman one bit for squeezing as much as he can from this fight, stop and think of where Pac comes from, the Philippines is not a prosperous place to live and grow up, most people there live on approx $200 a month!!!!
So when somebody like Pacman wants a bigger slice of the pie he has earned every right to get, do not be so quick to criticize.
The fight will happen and it should be a great fight, Hatton will do very well out of it too and he should be thanking Pacman for getting it.

I tend to believe what Arum said about Pac loving to gamble, is probably the real explanation. Pac tried his to bluff his way to the bigger split. Fortunately, he didn't ruin his chances of signing the fight!

Radio 5 Live are now also reporting that the fight is sealed and delivered for May 2. Hate to say it, but the big boy Bunce in his boxing hour this week got it on the head, but it's been a big belief pretty much all round that they were playing hardball about a few thousand when it's multi-million pound deal for everyone involved.

Too much money for it not to be made!

Get real...

Hatton gets taxed to death by the inland revenue....Manny, in his own way, is much better off by any deal.

So you are talking utter rubbish.

May 2nd is still aways off. I read Hatton will train 12 weeks for this fight, but don't see how he can do that since it's 10 weeks till the fight after the promotion tour ends in mid February. I wonder how long he trained for the Malignaggi fight, because he looked trim?

this is very true Pacquiao will get the better deal because 15 million usa dollars he could basically by the island of the philippines. while hatton will get taxed hard.

I cant wait for SaddoBoxer to rant his mouth off in the coming months.

I'm gonna own his ass.

Hatton samshes Pac.

I agree Hatton will be way to strong.

I think Hattons grappling will be the key like how mosley kept grabbing margarito and then hitting him.

Also Hatton is fucking pissed! and he has mayweather sr who is a superior trainer to freddie roach.

I will say pacman succumbs around the 6th or 7th round hatton will drop him in the 1st round, hatton has under rated power look how badly he was hurting paulie he almost stopped paulie something cotto couldnt do.

The peson is very weak in the philippines

Possibly you're being a little facetious, but others might not get that....

Locally .... $300 Annual~P1200 per month is crap and only farmers can get by on that. Those that have to make do....

The peso has been P40~50 to $1 the past 7 years or so. Any single guy would love to visit the Philippines... even married guys love to visit... $1500 spending money for two weeks for a Brit or American for most is about right... double that and it's premium quality ...

Can you not quit with your insults on us Moono. $300 is not even sufficient for my phone bills.
