Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey gets a splashy kickoff

January 21, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Manny Pacquiao’s promoter, Bob Arum, announced Tuesday that HBO pay-per-view will televise the March 13 Pacquiao vs Clottey welterweight fight at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. More than 1,500 fans plus the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders greeted Pacquiao and Clottey for their news conference Tuesday inside the stadium. Both fighters entered the stadium through the players’ tunnel and said they felt like football players. “It was a fun announcement,” Cowboys and stadium owner Jerry Jones said. “With the stature of Pacquiao, we’re going to be able to put on a unique fight.” Jones, just two days removed from his football team’s disappointing playoff loss to the Minnesota Vikings, appreciated having some new excitement. “I needed this,” he said. “Before I came here, I didn’t have the usual juice in me. I was dragging.” Tickets, priced between $700 (ringside) and $50, will go on sale Sunday. The plan is to fill 40,000 seats, but Arum said a 60,000-seat plan can be arranged if necessary. After the proposed Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight fell apart, both fighters made plans for different opponents. Mayweather is close to reaching a deal to fight Shane Mosley on May 1 in Las Vegas. For Pacquiao vs Clottey, Jones said he will lower the stadium’s high-definition video screen to 30 feet above the ring on fight night, so fans can better view the blow-by-blow action. “I’m proud of this, I always envisioned boxing in this venue,” Jones said. “One of the things that motivates me is the idea that first impressions are important. It’s why I wanted Pacquiao here. “He has the . . . charisma and talent, but then there’s the story of how he got here from the Philippines . . . and what he means to his country. An entire country follows him. The fans here appreciate that, and he’s a great fighter. To get this fight, to have it in this venue, it’s going to be a happening.”

Pacquiao vs Clottey Dallas press conference

January 21, 2010 · Leave a Comment

welterweight champion and current pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao (50-3-2) and former welterweight champion Joshua Clottey (35-3) faced off in an amicable atmosphere to promote their upcoming March 13th fight. Surrounded by the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, team owner Jerry Jones, trainer Freddie Roach, and Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, the two welterweights participated in the promotional press conference inside the new $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium. Top Rank announced that Pacquiao vs Clottey will be featured on HBO Pay-Per-View (PPV). It appears that Floyd Mayweather, Jr will fight on a different date, perhaps on May 1st. During the press conference, Pacquiao stated: I would like to thank God for giving me good health every day. I’d like to thank Jerry Jones . . . It’s my first time to come here. I like the introduction, it’s amazing . . . I feel like a football player. Please come on March 13th. It’s going to be a good fight with Clottey . . . . We will do our best to give a good fight.Clottey stated:First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Jerry Jones for giving me this opportunity fight . . . I’ve never seen a stadium like this before . . . . and I would like to thank Manny Pacquiao and Freddie Roach for this wonderful opportunity that they have given me. I can’t thank Manny Pacquiao enough. He is the best guy. This fight will be a hell of a fight. In an interview, Joshua Clottey stated that Pacquiao is his favorite fighter, and he thanked the Filipino icon for the opportunity to appear in a big fight. The stadium will be configured to hold 45,000 seats for the bout. Clottey lost a close decision fight with Miguel Cotto in June 2009, a bout held in New York. Arum and Pacquiao watched that fight at ringside. Pacquiao vs Clottey was hastily arranged after negotiations for a fight between the Filipino and Floyd Mayweather, Jr fell apart due to a disagreement over urine and blood testing protocol. Texas billionaire Jerry Jones was elated to have an athlete of “Manny Pacquiao’s stature” performing in his new stadium, which has a crowd capacity of over a 100,000. Jones hosted Arum and former U.S. President George W. Bush last weekend in a NFC playoff game between the Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. Former President Bush indicated that he will attend the March 13 fight, barring any conflicts in his schedule. In an interview on ESPN, Jones indicated the stadium’s capability to host any type of event, be it basketball, football, or boxing. Reportedly, the Cowboys owner is purchasing 30,000 tickets for the fight, guaranteeing a sizeable gate for the bout. Texas has a large Hispanic population with several metropolitan cities which may drive a sell-out crowd. Austin, San Antonio, and Houston are within nearly three hours of Dallas. Additionally, fight fans can come from Mexico, New Orleans, Oklahoma, and New Mexico for the WBO welterweight championship. Additionally, the fight may find willing fans that can afford the $50 to $700 price points per ticket. Texas’ economy has remained relatively robust despite the reset U.S. economy. Texas judges were viewed negatively in 2009, given the poor scoring of Juan Diaz vs Paulie Malignaggi at the Toyota Center in Houston in August. Given Clottey’s size advantage over the 5′ 6.5″ Pacquiao, this fight could go the distance. If Pacquiao vs Clottey does go the entire 12 rounds, Texas judges will be in the middle of the boxing spotlight once again.

Jerry Jones gets his boxing match, just not the big one

January 21, 2010 · Leave a Comment

The Dallas Cowboys’ season ended on Sunday, but Jerry Jones isn’t wasting any time finding other uses for his billion-dollar stadium: Cowboys Stadium sent out a press release today to formally announce that it’s hosting a March 13 boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey. “We are really just now getting into our business here, but we’re excited about doing this fight,” Jones said last week, when word first came out that the fight was going to happen at Cowboys Stadium. “Personally, I am very, very, very excited to be holding our very first boxing event.” But while Jones is excited, the diminishing number of Americans who follow boxing are disappointed that Pacquiao is fighting Clottey, and not Floyd Mayweather Jr. A Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight would have been among the biggest in boxing history, and Jones offered $25 million to get that fight at Cowboys Stadium. Talks between Mayweather and Pacquiao ultimately broke down over issues unreleated to the venue, and now Cowboys Stadium will host Pacquiao vs Clottey. Presumably, Jones is spending a lot less than $25 million to get a lesser fight. Maybe that’s how he can afford to overpay Roy Williams.
