By Chris Williams: Britain’s Ricky Hatton thinks Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. should hurry and fight while they still have time left with their careers. Hatton feels that it’s getting late for both of them in terms of their career, but they should still fight and split the purse 50-50.
Hatton said to espn.co.uk “Since Pacquiao got beat it’s lost its sparkle. It’s a shame that they don’t want to fight each other…I think they should go 50-50 and just get it on.”
That would have been a good idea three years ago in 2010, but Pacquiao couldn’t agree to the random blood testing that Mayweather wanted for the fight that would have taken place on March 13th, 2010. If you remember, Mayweather agreed on a 50-50 purse split, he agreed on a weight penalty and he agreed with the ring and glove size.
