The_Blade Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 gacal doesnt care about the actual net purse and it's not about greediness. it's a matter of prestige ... sino ba kina manny at hatton ang mas pogi sa boxing ngayun? one thing na sure sa laban na to ay both fighers will earn way more than their recent fights.

djrs Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Parang si Juan Manuel Marquez dati ayaw pumayag ng rematch kay Manny worth $750,000 dahil gusto $1.5M tapos lumaban kay Chris John for a mere $30,000 tapos talo pa laugh.gif I know this... hehehe. as in natawa ako kay JMM kasi dapat may rematch kagad pero ayaw ni JMM ayun natalo kay Chris John! hahaha. pero iba na kasi setup ngayon number 1 na si pacman e.. kahit sino makakalaban nya sigurado ko may pera... hehehehe. may chance na si mayweather kasi may problem na financially si PBF kasi puro yabang.. dami mahal na car... hehehehe. pero still mas pabor ako na mas mataas makuha ni Manny dahil sya ang alpha male ngayon sa boxing...

conway44 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I dont want Pacquiao to be greedy... Money should not be an issue here but instead he should look for the prestige of beating great boxers. Money should not be the primary reason for the cancellation of pacquiao-hatton fight.

photographer Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Ultimatum for Hatton By Joaquin Henson Updated January 17, 2009 12:00 AM British brawler Ricky Hatton isn’t as marketable as he insists he is, even in his homeland. That’s the word from a boxing expert, who declined to be identified, in analyzing if a 50-50 split is a fair deal as negotiations for a fight between Hatton and Manny Pacquiao are bogging down because of a numbers disagreement. Hatton’s group is insisting on a 50-50 split on all revenues generated by the proposed fight in Las Vegas on May 2. Pacquiao’s position is 60-40 in his favor. “Hatton sells depending on his opponent,” said the expert. “When he fought (Paul) Malignaggi, the fight sold only anywhere between 70,000 to 200,000 pay-per-view hits in the UK compared to nearly a million in the (Floyd) Mayweather fight. That shows you even the English fans aren’t too hot on Hatton alone. They’ll buy only if Hatton’s opponent is a big name like Mayweather. So Hatton needs Pacquiao to draw even in the UK.” Apparently, Top Rank chairman Bob Arum committed the 50-50 split to Hatton without consulting Pacquiao. Arum is now in a bind because Pacquiao is standing firm on 60-40. Hatton’s camp was made to understand that Pacquiao had approved the 50-50 split and is now up in arms after finding out the Filipino is holding out for 60-40. In the US, the Hatton-Malignaggi fight brought in only 175,000 to 200,000-way below the pay-per-view figures that Pacquiao generates, whomever he fights. Against Oscar de la Hoya last November, Pacquiao drew over a million subscribers. “The figures will show that it’s Pacquiao who brings in the money, not Hatton,” said the expert. “Under the circumstances, it’s inconceivable for a 50-50 split because that would be totally unfair to Pacquiao.” Arum gave Pacquiao a deadline to agree to terms this week but the likelihood is there will be no signing unless Hatton gives in. “It’s all up to Hatton,” said the expert. “Pacquiao will bring in the dollars. Hatton should know that. Nobody else out there can push the pay-per-view numbers higher than Manny.” Pacquiao said he has given the Hatton camp up to Feb. 1 to come to terms. If there is no agreement, he said he wouldn’t be interested to fight Hatton anymore, now or in the future. Meanwhile, lawyer Franklin (Jeng) Gacal said he will try to convince Pacquiao to accept a compromise split but the sharing must be a “substantial movement” from 50-50. “This involves all income,” said Gacal who is in constant contact with Arum. “As for the guaranteed purses, my lips are sealed. We only want the best deal for Manny.” Gacal said Pacquiao will definitely not fight Hatton on a 50-50 split. “A substantial movement will help me convince him,” he added. Gacal’s hint opened the door for a compromise settlement but it was made clear that unless Pacquiao has a larger share than Hatton, the fight is off. Pacquiao said if Hatton refuses to budge, he will look for another opponent to fill the May 2 slot. Asked if Floyd Mayweather Jr. could be a possible replacement, Pacquiao replied, “maybe.” Quote Link to comment

jerzz Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 mukhang hindi na lalaban si Pacquiao sa 50/50. mapapahiya na siya kung lalaban pa siya. i guess time for the hatton camp to offer a 55/45 purse split Quote Link to comment

Nakup! delubyo. atleast kay Hatton pwedeng UK vs. Phils! hehehe the best fighter of both country maglalaban. Plus on the line pa ang nelt ni Hatton di ba? khit hindi gaanong pinapansin yun magandang collection yun for PacMan. Quote Link to comment
wizard23 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 personally, kahit me bragging rights na si manny, he should have considered the 50-50 split dahil di naman literal yun. ang alam ko 50-50 sila sa PPV sa UK dahil credit na rin ke hatton ang million ppvs from uk pag natuloy ang laban nila. magkatalo na lang dapat sa guaranteed purse dun sa labanan. ganon ang pagkaintindi ko. i stand corrected kung mali.

ray004 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 i don't think si pacquiao may problem..yung mga nakapaligid sa kanya! Quote Link to comment
monaco Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Reasonable lang naman yung 60-40 na demand ni Pacman. He is the higher ranked after all. Quote Link to comment
