Pacquiao / Hatton Fight?

[THE THIRD MAN]

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.

first things first we no pac man is a badman,e.g barrera morrales,de la hoya. and so on.on the other hand we have hitman hatton,e.g castillo,tyszu, mayweather nearly.i personally think hatton will be mannys biggest test since comin out of the super feather division. fukk diaz,fukk weight drained de la hoya.im glad this fight is now on. im mannys biggest fan but vs hatton i gotta go with my country man hatton .on a neutral base tho i got say this fight has got 2 be nothingshort of an all time classic. both all action fighters,come forward style with manny havin the better boxing skill but hatton is an absolute bully at 140. how will manny cope with a legit 140er. im really 50/50 on this fight. this thread is basically about ur personal break down on the fight,and how u think shiit will go down. no moono included.

Know Weigh Hoe Say. I'm confident Roach will come up with another brilliant game plan on how to avoid being bullied, just like how Manny avoided Oscar's left hooks (MIA, BTW). I think Manny is too fast for Ricky. I'd say Manny by TKO inside 9.

i no where ur comin from bro. mannys recent performances would indicate that hatton would get ktfo.but im yet 2 believe that manny has fought a legit dude above the super feather.we shall see. PEACE

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!

I agree with almost everything you said but I would slightly favor Pacquiao, I know everything’s possible in this fight but I also think we will see 12 full rounds.
I understand your feelings and I know it’s your duty to support your country man; I would have the same dilemma if Bute, Diaconu or Pascal would ever face Bad Chad, one of my top favorites.
I’ll go with Pacman in this one (no hard feelings) not because I don’t like Hatton, I just like Pacquiao more.

Oop! not quite a done deal....apparently it still needs a signature 01-23-09:5:45pm
The Associated Press: Pacquiao-Hatton back on for May 2 in Vegas

"I received a copy of the contract signed by Manny Pacquiao. I sent it to England for a signature by Ricky Hatton, but haven't yet received the signed contract," Shaefer said. "I believe it's going to happen, but it's not finalized. We're working on the paperwork. How can a deal be finalized if only one fighter has signed?"

Well, looks like those BBC boys getting a bit of an itchy trigger finger in the early hours of the morning then!

Im soo glad to see this fight finally being signed.

Pacquiao-Mayweather would be way bigger, way more important, and a better fight. Pacquiao and Hatton's styles don't mesh well at all.

Thats a ridiculous thing to say.

Mayweather hasnt fought in an age himself.

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.

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.

It's official: Ricky Hatton signs and fight with Manny Pacquiao is on | The Fabulous Forum | Los Angeles Times

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?

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

I'm gonna own his ass.

Hatton samshes Pac.

The peson is very weak in the philippines

not sure how it works but there money is not good, os if hatton got 300 million pesos he is basically getting 3 hundred usa dollars?
