Poll: Does Pacquiao Deserve a 60% Share Against Hatton?

[boxing fan]

Does Pacquiao deserve a 60% share in a fight against Hatton?

[Gandalf]

Not at all. He is a quality fighter facing another hugely popular fighter. That other fighter is top of the pile at 140 where Pac wants to fight though, its a 50:50 split.

[albsur2006]

I don't think he deserves 60-40. It should be 50-50. Hatton is the kingpin at 140. Pacquiao is coming to 140. Pacquiao is P4P #1, but in terms of fans, I think they're equal. Hatton did 850,000 with Mayweather. Pacquiao hasn't done more than 400,000 without ODLH. I don't understand how he feels he deserves 50-50. If I were Hatton, I wouldn't take the fight unless it's 50-50 just on principle.

And Pac wouldnt get a bigger fight elsewhere. I hope its just accountants talk we are dealing with and it gets settled soon. Ive been to the Philipines and its pretty cheap out there, god knows what Pac needs the 60% for! Its just crazy talk. With UK accountancy Hatton needs the bigger share!

I think Hatton needs Pac alot more than Pac needs Hatton, Hatton doesn't have any other huge fights out there(unless he moves up but don't think he will again) Pac on the other hand has alot of big options(PBF,Marquez 3) what percent did HAtton take against PBF?

[donnydarkoIRL]

I can't see any reason to justify Pac claiming 60%

He's not the one with the title.
I don't believe he's the bigger draw.
He's actually more accustomed to fighting in the U.S. than Hatton.


If Pac wants 60% he should put on a championship stake, the winner walks away with 60% the loser 40%

Hell yea he does....and so does hatton for that matter. What i mean is these guys after all the hard work and punches they have taken deserve whatever they can weasel their way into right or not. But in this case a 50/50 seems more than fair since both bring a ton to the table. Let's talk about baseball ..when it comes to money not deserved.

Pac title is the #1 P4P. Who cares about IBO belt?

This is the way I see it too. It's a question of who needs who most. This is the only winnable fight out their for Hatton (due to his size advantage) that would considerably elevate his status p4p which he's obsessed with.

[Violent Demise]

Who gives a fukk? Just fight so I can see one of them lose.

he just became boxings biggest draw after his one sided demolition of de lahoya. 60-40 is justifiable

[WelshDevilRob]

50/50 seems fair to me.

PacMan is the P4P No.1 but Hatton is the man who will bring the fans and UK PPV buys - maybe Hattons people should argue that they keep the UK share.

[rjj tszyu]

No I personally believe that this should be a straight 50-50 fight and if they are fighting at 140 maybe if anyone, Hatton should have the higher share as he is "The Man" in that division!

[Dark Lord Al]

He deserves 52% to Hatton's 48%
