Golden Boy Defends Hatton, Responds To Pacquiao

[-MAKAVELLI-]

but look at hatton's last fight, was it full, did it do good financially ????
the answer is yes, now picture pacquiao vs malignaggi would it sell no,
pacquiao vs lazcano, it doesn't catch the attention, hatton brings alot of
money to the table with his fan base, im sorry but pacquiao does not have that
dlh star power

you think hatton-diaz would even be a ppv in the US?

Pacman's last 3 fights:

Decision over JMM (Jr Lightweight title)
KO over David Diaz (Lightweight title)
KO over Oscar De La Hoya (1st ever fight at Welterweight)


Hatton's last 3 fights:

KO loss to Floyd Mayweather (at the the time P4P #1)
Decision over Juan Lazcano (Lazcano hadn't fought in nearly 2 years??)
KO over Pauli Malignaggi (LOL)

...and Hatton was worth a 60-40 over Pacquiao? :wank:

This is why I made a thread previously about PPV rates, etc being looked over the actual fights. People are bitching that Hatton deserves the bigger pie since he has a huge following and would generate great PPV and gate numbers...but competitively IMO it was just one last stepping stone to an inevitable fight with Floyd (which really is the fight the majority of us would like to see).

Just my 2 cents

true..

but if boxing were like that ... golden boy wouldnt be golden boy....

mayweather wouldnt be money may.... and same goes around..

this is how boxing works....

for competition you have the olimpics

learn how to swim with the waves or move out.. simple as that..

Im with you... It should be that way about real competitive fights...... but is just not.


Life should be easier.. but is not. U have to deal with it and make the most of it. I dont think theres a fight besides mayweather that would give pac as much as he is asking.

so.. the only way pac gets untouched from this.. is landing a fight with mayweather.. or fighting a BIG NAME @ WELTER and get his ass kicked..

it cant go other way....

Manny deserves more money, he won the biggest fight of his career and is ranked p4p #1, Hatton got knocked out in his biggest fight- nuff said

But instead he is getting zero money, as a result of the way he handled the negotiations. How ****** is that?

Pacquiao came out swinging with an official statement that hit back at Ricky Hatton, and Richard Schaefer, CEO for Golden Boy Promotions. After weeks of negotiations, the proposed Pacquiao-Hatton showdown for May 2 was officially "dead" on Wednesday after Manny refused to a sign the fight contract. Pacquiao was unhappy with the terms and felt that he deserved more than the 52-48 split being offered. He originally wanted a 60-40 split, but later brought his demand down to 55-45. [details]

pac's legacy is beating the best that mexico had to offer. hatton's legacy is getting KTFO. hatton needs pac not the other way around no matter how much money hatton makes.

[Chunk..]

Good **** Pac. **** GBP. A Pacquiao/Mayweather showdown would be a better fight, and probably do just as well financially as a fight with Hatton. Who really believes that Hatton would make it past the third against Pac? NOBODY!!!!

Give over! Hatton - Pacquiao is more competitive the Mayweather - Pacquiao. Floyd would box circles round Pacquiao!

[Ia23n]

If pac fights JMM he makes 6-6m, fights Hatton it's closer to 20m. so how can he demand more? hatton will make 10-15m whoever he fights next.

[luismm06]

Hatton is over rated. who has he beat? nobody. he got ass whopped by mayweather really badly. Pacquiao although i though he lost to marquez still hasnt lost since 2005 to morales which is another razor thin decision and he didnt look bad at all, besides that pacquiao hasnt look bad in any fight in the last 10 years, who does hatton beat in the last year lazcano? maliggnaggi? who the hell are these guys? none of these fight on PPV where is the supposed money he brings? lets not forget his win against collazo where most think he lost, hatton had his chance on 12/08/07 and he came up short.

Ok now its more then obvious this guy schaefer is on drugs with his outrageous comment!! He's sniffin something to even mention ricky deserves more cause he brings more people!! U see thats whats hurting boxing nonscence like that!

[mrlopez]

I agree. And GBP is saying that the money coming in from England is way more than the Phillipines or Pinoys in the states? There are like a billion Phillipinos in LA alone, and everyone of them is gonna order any Pac fight. Believe me, when Pacquiao fights, he brings in as much or even more revenue than Hatton. Plus, Pacquiao has a big hispanic following too. Hatton only has his hooligan soccer fans.

I feel what you are saying bro, my in laws are Pinoy and love Pac to death, when he fights, theres like a hundred of em in a house watching 5 big screens.....BUT they all tell me that when Pac fights happen, the filipines show Pacs fights for free......

I dont agree that he brings in as much or more money than Hatton only because of disparity between monies in terms of their worth...
UK $$ > US $$ > Pilipinas $$

And dont forget that Hatton has a big latino ( i dont use the term hispanic, that **** is wack) following too, they dont call him Manchesters Mexican for nothing....
