Pacquiao Hatton back on?

Late-breaking drama over the Pacquiao Hatton fight from fightnews.com:

"Manny Pacquiao has reportedly agreed to accept existing terms to face Ricky Hatton on May 2 at MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Team Pacquiao member Rex ‘Wakee’ Salud informed PhilBoxing that Pacman is now on board with a $12 million guarantee with a 52-48 PPV split. Stay tuned…"

Does it really matter that Manny is accepting after the Wednesday deadline? Hopefully not.

This fight is on/off more times than a whores drawers.
Last night i was listening to Hattons lawyer being optimistic with a fight with DLH. I dont think nobody knows what the fuck is going on. Bob Arum assures us that this is happening. See what happens.

Hatton?

The knockout Hatton suffered by Mr. Mayweather must have seriously affected his judgement. How could he possibly expect the legitimate pound-for-pound champion to go 50-50? Pacquiao is doing Hatton a favor by lettting him get in the ring. Hatton isn’t even rated #1 in IBF or WBC. He’s not that big of a draw now either, Manny is. So why does he think he deserves 50%??

Don’t give in Manny, it should be more like 70-30, for Manny.

How could he possibly expect the legitimate pound-for-pound champion to go 50-50?

Because Hatton generates a substantial amount more money worldwide than Pacquiao does. The UK money is part of that, and there’s a ton of it.

Hatton isn’t even rated #1 in IBF or WBC.

If we start basing fighters on how the corrupt and moronic sanctioning bodies rank them, nobody wins.
