Hatton Says Mayweather-Pacquiao Situation is Pathetic...
It surely is. And who's to blame, precisely? I mean to date...

[MRCHOKEaMF]

I GUESS YOU CANT ANSWER, CAUSE THE TRUTH IS HARD TO ARGUE WITH
PAC RIOS 350K PPV FLOYD CANELO 2.2 MIL PPV
PAC BRADLEY 700K PPV FLOYD MAIDANA I 900K PPV
PAC ALGIERI 325K PPV FLOYD MAIDANA II 975K PPV

THESE ARE LOWEST FIGURES ANNOUNCED FOR FLOYD AND HIGHEST ESTIMATES FOR PAC. He cant negotiate the way we know he negotiates, cause the numbers that both camps have arent in his favor and there is no way, Haymon is not gonna let him get away with A BS OFFER. and why would he let him? its basic BUSINESS 101, and I feel sorry if you dont understand basic business and think because you like pac that someone should just give him money he doesnt deserve (you feel like he does and I understand it, but the facts say otherwise and you negotiate with facts not feelings)

Negotiations[edit]
With Pacquiao winning his bout against Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton was seen as the next opponent for Pacquiao. At mid-December, both boxers verbally agreed on a 50% split of the proceeds;[2] however, Pacquiao changed his decision to a favorable 60%***8211;40% split of the pay-per-view (PPV) revenues, while Hatton wanted an even 50% split.[3] Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank Boxing said on 22 January that the fight "was off", citing Pacquiao's decision not to sign the contract. Arum increased Pacquiao's guaranteed purse to US$12 million from $11 million and a 52%***8211;48% split. Pacquiao's camp asked for "more demands and the deal fell apart", he said.[4]
On 23 January, with long-time friend Rex "Wakee" Salud,[5] Pacquiao signed the contract with the 52%***8211;48% split and a $12 million purse, in favor of Pacquiao.


But people are going to keep saying it is Floyd that is being difficult. It's funny that they used his fight with Oscar to get more leverage, but when Floyd does the same exact thing he is scared?

And what's the relevance of these above? I mean right now, as we speak.

Honestly I like both of these guys, and I truly enjoy watching both of them fight. But I can't wait for them to retire. Hopefully the "cash cow era" ends with them also. Too many failed negotiations and too many guys moving up and down in weight just to get a fight for the money. You know its bad when B.Hop and GGG are trying to fight Welterweights at a catchweight. They are both to blame for the negotiations failing and until that bell rings for rd 1 to start, I won't believe any progress is being made.
