How to watch Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton and other boxing streaming online
There is so much talk about the Pacquiao (48-3-2, 36 KOs) versus Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton (45-1, 32 KOs) for their May 2, 2009 bout.
Just like in the past with Oscar De La Hoya’s fight arrangement disagreement over the purse split, (De La Hoya wanted 70-30, Pacquiao wanted 40), the Pacquiao Hatton fight almost did not push through with a similar disagreement over the purse. Both parties stressed that each had the bigger crowd draw from their home country, thus each demanding a bigger cut from the Pay Per View revenues.
