Manny Pacquiao wanted 60-40 and then 55-45. Ricky Hatton wanted 50-50. Top Rank head, Bob Arum, was reaching for 52-48. After everything was said and done, Pacquiao has reportedly agreed to a modified 52-48 split. Arum, according to some reports, had to reach into his own pocket and offer a higher guarantee in order to close the deal with Manny. Pacquiao-Hatton goes forward on May 2 in Las Vegas.
Gareth Williams, Hatton's attorney, says their deal is still 50-50, but whatever split Arum works out with Pacquiao is "between them" and has nothing to do with Hatton.

i have an interest in a pacquiao, mayweather fight. the conflicted styles would be very interesting, as well as the size is more comparable than other fighters each of them have faced.

If all this back and forthing isn't drummed up for promotion sake, I hope the frustration between the two camps will translate to a whopper of a great fight once they're in the ring. I mean good grief all ready. I think Freddie Roach needs to slap Pacquiao upside the head. He's just quibbling at this point.
