The Cowboys Stadium in Dallas will stage its first boxing event when it hosts Manny Pacquiao’s WBO welterweight title defence against Joshua Clottey on March 13.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had tendered a bid to stage the ill-fated Pacquiao v Floyd Mayweather fight on the same day but was still delighted to get one half of the high-profile duo.
A capacity crowd of 40,000 is expected to be present for the pay-per-view event and Jones said: “I have wanted to bring a major boxing event to North Texas for many years, so why not bring in the biggest and the best? Manny Pacquiao is boxing’s number one pound-for-pound attraction and the world champion.
“Manny defending his title against Joshua Clottey is not just a great event, it’s a great fight, and one we can showcase to the fullest in Cowboys Stadium. We’re going to promote this like it was the Super Bowl.”
