Pacquiao-Hatton fight on again

The fight that was off appears to be back on after Manny Pacquiao agreed late Thursday to sign a contract to face Ricky Hatton at 140 pounds on May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden.

Pacquiao apparently changed his mind after talking to his promoter, Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. The original deal that had been reached last month and called for a 50-50 split of the revenues between the two fighters was amended to have Pacquiao receive 52 percent to Hatton’s 48 percent.
