A big boxing fight, Pacquiao vs. Hatton, is being set this 2nd quarter of 2009. However, there's a major problem because Pacquiao is asking for a 60/40 sharing in the profits while Hatton wants a 50/50 deal. The boxing match may not push through if Pacquiao and Hatton won't find a way to agree on the profit sharing. Maybe, espiya members can make suggestions on how to resolve this profit sharing problem so that boxing fans can get a chance to see the Pacquiao vs. Hatton fight. Here is my suggestion with 3 contract clauses in order to solve the problem:
1) The profit sharing can be 60/40, but the 60% will be given to whoever will win the fight via unanimous decision. If Pacquiao wins, he gets 60% and Hatton earns 40%. However, if Hatton wins, he gets 60% and Pacquiao takes the 40%. It's a fair deal, don't you think?
2) The profit sharing can be 50/50 if the result of boxing match will be a draw.
3) The profit sharing can be 70/30 if the boxing match ends in a technical knock out (TKO). The boxer who wins by TKO takes the 70% profit, and knocked-out loser gets 30%. I think winning by TKO is an impressive win in a boxing match, and earning 70% profit is a good incentive for any top notch boxer to try his best to go all out for a TKO victory.
Well, that's my suggestion and i hope other espiya members will share their ideas too.
