Did not our own Manny agree verbally to a 50-50 split?Hence, if he back out from that agreement he is still thesame Manny Pacquiao who screwed up De La Hoya 3 years ago. Manny should protect his word outside the ring as his fist protect him inside the ring. I pray for Manny to win but I will put my money on Ricky.Whoever win, I win :smile: Why everybody of you bother off the split?

Rex, Manny IS NOT the undisputed P4P number one. Winning 1 title at lightweight against the easiest title-holder at the time and not defending it, followed by winning a non-title welterweight against a once decent, now fading Oscar De La Hoya, is not enough. To propel himself to undisputed number 1, Manny needs to settle the Juan Manuel Marquez score, beat Hatton, beat Mayweather if he comes back. Also, was there any need for half a dozen separate posts?! Great post Daveyboy.

Im not that stupid to suggest they REALLY SHOULD fight. I was just sayin that P4P is based on the imaginary world of if all boxers in the world were at the same weight the 1 that would be the best would be P4P. But Pacman is fighting about 3 weights if not 4 higher than is his natural weight so when Hatton beats him it wont make Hatton P4P king because thats not how it works, if it did work like that then Pacman would have to clear up every division there is.

Hatton will bring in more spectators around the world then any other boxer. How many Filipino's will be travelling to vegas? Everytime Hatton fights his support out number the rest easily by 2-1, so the reason for the 50-50 split is because Hatton is the biggest box office which rakes in the biggest amount of TV, PPV and crowd revenue and thats why he deserves a 50-50 split.

If Pacqiauo wins should he then face 1 of the Klitchkos? And if they beat him they become P4P? Pacman is P4P king. Hatton will never be, Hatton can only fight at Lightwelter and struggle when he moves up 1 division and hed never move down 1. But Hatton will still beat him, and Pacquiao will still remain P4P. It means with all the tools these boxers posess IF they all fought at the same weight naturally 1 would be better than all the rest. You dont HAVE TO clean up in 5 or 6 different weights to prove it becuase after so long you take a step too far and struggle yourself to a weight thats does your body little good and you will face a natural at that weight who will smash you. And thats what will happen this time. Even if Hatton beats the Pacman it wont make him P4P, Thats not how boxin works and people are beginnin to forget it.

Let's look at it from a different perspective: 1) Ricky is the number 1 ranked linear and undefeated champion at 140lbs and has been for almost 4 years. 2) Ricky is putting his Ring and IBO belt on the line, he enters the ring as the champion, Pacman the challenger. 3) In a single bout, Ricky has generated 900,000 PPV buys in the UK alone at 5am, considering the UK has 1/5th the population of the US, this is the equivalent of a fighter pulling 4.5M PPV in the US (twice the PBF v ODLH). No other fighter can do this. This fight will top 1M PPV in the UK alone and adjusted for exchange rates, this brings US$23M. Pacman should be grateful he is being offered 50% of this. The Philippines brings no TV money. 4) Ricky brings a stadium worth of fans to travel across to the US that will require large closed-circuit screens set up in local casino's and theatres(at $50 a pop)for those who can't get tickets. Even if tickets are split evenly,the majority will end up with Hatton fans. Ricky brings the Lion's share with his paying fanbase. 5) Ricky has backed down on his wish to have the fight in front of 100,000 at Wembley Stadium, forfeiting a massive live gate purse and agreed to travel to Pacman's adopted home. 6) Hatton-Mayweather and Pacman-ODLH achieved roughly the same PPV figures. Considering ODLH was talking about his "last fight" he probably would've pulled in around a million whoever he would've fought, so who is too say how the PPV figures for this fight will be split amongst supporters, casuals or neutrals? 7)Freddie Roach has stated Pacman has no intention of returning to 135. To be considered No1 at his new weight he needs to beat Hatton. Pacman knows bar the second-coming of Floyd "Money I owe the IRS" Mayweather, Hatton is his biggest draw. They need each other. 8) So what if MP can earn more fighting Mayweather? At the moment that's a hyperthetical scenario and wouldn't happen till minimum Nov 09 anyway, so why not earn huge sums with Hatton first then even more with Mayweather after beating Hatton up? A greater incentive for PBF to return. 9) Pacman's own promoter, Bob Arum and his coach Freddie Roach both say 50-50 is fair. Roach even quoted as saying he will have a word with Pacman about this issue. 10) Pacman will earn more at 50-50 in this fight than his 38% from the ODLH fight, due to the split UK TV share and probably greater US PPV numbers. Considering it was verbally agreed, is he aware how neutral and future fight fans will view/perceive it? Ducking - yes, sounds crazy but why be prepared to earn less fighting an old, washed up, weight drained shell of a man in ODLH and not earn more fighting a stronger and in his prime-linear champion? Historians will soon forget who deserved what and remember who backed out first and in this case it will be Manny. 11) The argument that MP is P4P number 1 is subjective. It doesn't add weight to the split. In this case, Pacman will be the challenger. Simple as. 12) What happened to keeping your word? It has been well known for a week the purse was agreed verbally as 50-50, how come soon as MP returns to the Philipines the whingeing begun? If you give your word, learn to keep it. 13)Hatton needs to pay for his expensive beer, burger and whiskey sessions that keep people employed and keeps the economy in the UK going, so morally he should get more. So..stop crying Pacman and sign on the dotted line - you know it makes sense THE REASONS WHY 50-50 IS RIGHT.

Let’s look at it from a different perspective:

I think Hattons argument is he has as much pulling power as pac fanancially which he prob has a point, but I think its a discrace he is moaning about his purse, he is a multi million air who will still gain a stupid amount of money and more importantly the chance to fight the best!! what happend to just being the normal lad from a council estate?

You don’t really need to say much about it. Floyd Mayweather Jr, Manny Pacquiao, a big lump of cash, LET’S GO. Especially right after the devastating beat down Pacquiao put on De la Hoya after all the publicity they generated for it. Man, are you kidding me? ESPN would eat this thing up! Best believe Pacquiao is no longer the Philippines’ treasure. Pacquiao is definitely an international superstar now. Just look at all those celebrities who came out to support him before the fight. Talk about Usher, Reggie Miller, Mark Wahlberg, Eva Longoria and even weeks after the fight, NFL star Courtland Finnegan of the Tennessee Titans had his practice jersey customized to say Pacquiao on it instead of his last name. I mean come on. Celebrities are like tokens of trends going on in the society. Unless you live under a rock, celebrities are indications of where the masses’ heads are at.
