Pacquiao vs Clottey: “The Event”

Jan. 21, 2010 | by Micko Santos

Jerry Jones [owner of the Dallas Cowboys] and Bob Arum [chairman of Top Rank] announced that the Pacquiao vs Clottey: "The Event" will take place, Saturday, March 13 at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

"Jerry Jones knows exactly how big and important THE EVENT is, which is why it was so easy to put this deal together," said Arum. "As a lifelong Giants fan I had to receive special dispensation from Steve Tisch, the Giants' Chairman and Executive Vice President, to bring this event to Cowboys Stadium and he blessed the deal. If Jerry could sell me on Cowboys Stadium and the North Texas market, you know he is going to have no problems selling out Cowboys Stadium on March 13. We are ready to roll up our sleeves and promote Manny's debut as World Welterweight Champion. Manny Pacquiao is the Lone Star of boxing. There isn’t a more appropriate place in the world for him to fight! Like Yankee Stadium, when it hosted so many great world title fights, including Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson and Ali, I feel a new era in boxing is about to begin at Cowboys Stadium."

It's a great deal for both parties because of the huge capacity of the venue. Cowboys Stadium is one of the biggest entertainment venues in the world. Top Rank made the right decision to choose Cowboys as the site of the fight.
