Manny �€œPacman�€ Pacquiao Finally Signs Hatton Contract

The pride of the Philippines Manny “Pacman” Paquiao reportedly signed a contract with Hatton, and Ricky Hatton’s camp is now 99% certain that the Pacquiao Hatton fight will go ahead by May of 2009. This will probably be a good fight, since both fighters are known good fighters in the field of boxing.

After the said contract signing of the Filipino boxer, Hatton’s lawyer Gareth Williams is expecting a copy of the contract to be on his hands in Britain early a week after the signing. William said that the contract is already on its way to him and he is confident that it will be all right and everything will be fine.

Reports say that team Pacquiao wanted to renegotiate some financial terms and been the reason of the slow development of the contract. There was some feeling of doubt about the fight when the Filipino boxer was in silent and had not been responding to Hatton’s deadline for the signing. However, the 30 year old champ and currently reigns as the world’s best pound for pound fighter is now reportedly signed the contract and agreed the equal split with Ricky Hatton.

Richard Schaefer the Golden Boy Promotions chief executive who is negotiating on the Mancunian’s behalf is the ones who received the signed contract from team Pacquiao in the Philippines. Because of it, Hatton’s lawyer Gareth Williams said that Richard Schaefer surely got the contract already and he is already 9% sure that the fight will going to happen.

Regarding to the financial issues, Hatton’s team told the press that they never wavered from a 50-50 split, and considered the issues about them having different offers going out as nonsense. The team further added that they are only talking, reached with only one agreement, and didn’t offer for anything else.

Gareth Williams further said on Thursday January 22, 2009 that as for the time being, the Pacqiao-Hatton fight was dead in the water. However, the appearance of the signed contracts has forced them to reconsider. On the other hand, on Friday January 23, 2009, Pacquiao’s promoter the Top Rank had declared that the match was back on.

When the team Pacquiao did not yet sign the contract, the Golden Boy promotions already had started negotiations to some possible alternative opponents for Ricky Hatton and that include Oscar de la Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

However, sports enthusiast especially to boxing fans and the fans of Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton will have to worry no more and must ne excited already because the fight is already back on and is 99 percent possibly to happen this coming May of 2009. Surely, it will going to be another remarkable fight for both fighters for they both are reputable and known fighters worldwide. They maybe of different age and have different level of expertise, it will surely be a good fight. This fight will surely be another fight for Manny Pacquiao to prove that he deserves the title of being the pound for pound fighter in the world and for Ricky Hatton to prove that he has the ability to beat the Pacman.
