Money is King: Pacquiao vs Hatton no more

crying pacquiao 250x207 Money is King: Pacquiao vs Hatton no moreThe deal is off - no more Pacquiao vs. Hatton fight on May, 2009. I still like to believe the deal still has some chances to succeed, after all, we boxing fans of the world, want a great boxing match between two great fighters who are “hungry for honors”.

Or, are boxers these days hungry for more money? It seems the Pacquiao-Hatton slug fest won’t push through because of only one reason – no obviously not about honor, recognition, championship belt – but money.

Before, boxing fights are negotiated between promoters, but these days, boxers themselves dictate the terms. A positive development, I should say, since boxers should get a bigger share and earn more than promoters and businessmen. But there is a danger of fights not happening if a boxer feels that money is not worth every punch that lands on his face.

After all, who does not want “more money?”

By the way, for us who speak the Visayan dialect, Manny and Money may sound the same. So what does ‘bai Pacquiao afraid of?

Not earning as much money as expected? (certainly, 10% difference is so much already when you’re talking about hundreds of millions of dollars).

Or is Manny afraid of Ricky “the Hitman” Hatton? I prefer to think of Manny as becoming a bit greedy now, than becoming one big “talawan nga sunoy”. Cockadoodle doo! Prrrk prrrrk prrrrk potaaaakkk???.

Chicken soup, anyone?

What do you think of the Pacquiao-Hatton “bungled Fight”?

      Metz, you’re now twice as busy, and most probably four times as rich. :-) hehe. Slow down a little bit.

  5. Gem on January 23, 2009 at 11:44 pm

    I just heard that the fight is ON. Too many disappointed fans. People are simply interested in the upcoming fight – not that money deal.

    • bloggista on January 27, 2009 at 9:43 am

      You’re right Gem, people are interested to know who’s the better fighter. And bloggers are interested to earn little from traffic. :-)

    galing ng graphics bagay na bagay yung umiiyak na pacquiao na bitbit ng manager nya. naaalala ko tuloy ang mga kawawang boxers na hindi naging kasing swerte ni pacquiao pero magagaling din naman. anyway nakakatuwa ang blog mo basahin. be back soon!

      Hey thanks for the visit Shasha. I saw your site, it’s great!

    Yahoo! It’s confirmed from today’s newspapers that the fight is on! Medyo OT: I used to love the claim that crime rates go down when Pacquiao has a fight until our house was burglarized during his fight with David Diaz last June 2008.

      At least all our pacquiao-hatton seo posts were not ‘wasted’.

      Damn, really? so these burglars also now taking advantage of pacquiao fights? That was odd, but good thing you were all safe… Be careful next time.

  8. Millionaire SEO on January 26, 2009 at 1:15 pm

    Yup, tuloy na ang laban! ;)

    • bloggista on January 27, 2009 at 10:27 am

      Tuloy na din SEP posts ng mga pinoy bloggers. Hehe

  9. loy on January 26, 2009 at 6:08 pm

    This fight is too good to be thrown to garbage bin. Good thing Manny agreed to the 52-48 deal. At least it’s still a “bit” bigger than Hatton’s share.

    • bloggista on January 27, 2009 at 10:28 am

      2% of USD100 million is USD2 million. Still enough for pacquiao to buy 10 mansions. :-)

    Hi B and gang :) ,

      Thanks Metz. Good to see you back and well.

    di pa sayang ang mga SE optimizations on the fight.

  12. curious on January 28, 2009 at 9:30 pm

    Well according to the team pacquiao its about respect kaya sila humihngi ng mas mataas na sa 50/50 na hatian ng kita. And I think may ponit naman sila.

  13. Productive Pinoy on February 4, 2009 at 2:25 am

    Good thing the fight is on… again. Hope Pacman still wins this one =)

  14. javen on March 14, 2009 at 4:41 pm

  15. ericksonx on April 4, 2009 at 10:44 am

    Tier 8 refers to a set of class gear that is acquired from the bosses of Ulduar. These sets are meant to be the

    second tier of raid gear for Wrath of the Lich King. Each set also has a 10-man and a 25- man version,

    Valorous and Conqueror respectively. Both 10-man and 25-man versions have different color schemes. Set

    bonuses are also shared among both sets. But it’s hard for a normal player to get the dream T8 for his lovely

    character. How to get it? Wowgoldgate will help you. We have the best player raid for you and will get your

    dream T8 gear in a scheduled date. Any doubt? Go to tier 8 power

    leveling, you will your answer!
