The Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders could accompany Pacquiao for promotional tour
January 17th, 2010
By Eric Thomas: According to the Manila Bulletin, some of Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders could be accompanying World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao for his promotional tour in New York starting this Wednesday. Pacquiao will be facing former IBF welterweight champion Joshua Clottey on March 13th at the Dallas Cowboy stadium, in Arlington, Texas. With the amount of time wasted in Pacquiao’s failed negotiations with Floyd Mayweather Jr., they are getting off to a late start in building up excitement for his next fight.
It likely won’t matter, though, because Pacquiao’s name alone will probably be all that matters for his fight with Clottey to be successful. Bob Arum, the Top Rank promoter, will get help from the Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones in trying to sell out the stadium for the fight. The large stadium, which can fit 100,000, will be reconfigured to fit between 45,000 to 65,000 fans for the fight depending on how well ticket sales go for the bout.
As for the cheerleaders, they’ll be on hand to create a more exciting atmosphere during the promotional tour in New York. Arum is excited about the fight, which is called “The Event”, and thinks it will make history. It remains to be seen if that will actually be the case. It usually takes two good fighters for a fight to make history, and this fight at least on paper has the makings of a mismatch.
If Pacquiao dominates Clottey like many boxing fans think he will the fight will still make a lot of money it might not make history. Pacquiao needs a huge name like Mayweather, his original planned opponent, or someone like Paul Williams for him to truly make history.

Can’t wait for the fight …. Looking forward for the undercard… The first fight Robert marroquin is a bad man
Driving all the way from Baton Rouge to see this fight. I hope the undercard will be just as exciting.
why hasnt floyd picked an opponent yet?
@ BRIAN
Now that was below the belt. You should’t talk about America’s team like that.LOL Good one
WHAT JERRY JONES WANTS JERRY JONES GETS? FOR A LONG TIME JERRY WANTED ANOTHER SUPER BOWL RING AND HE STILL AINT GOT IT.
I predict… Bob Arum and Jerry Jones will make tons of money!
time will tell
do your home work and learn more about boxing history before you make your self look like a ignorant; Pac has already make history as a boxer, maybe your not thomas and you are Santiago.
WHAT JERRY JONES WANTS, JERRY JONES GETS!
IF JERRY JONES DON’T WANT IT, JERRY JONES ALREADY GOT IT!
KEEP ON, KEEPIN’ IT UP WITH THE JONESESS!
ALL HAIL THE JONES!
GO JONES!
David diaz, odl, hitman, cotto, clottey…I think clottey has the best chance at derailing the pacman…if pac is smart, he should have a rematch clause in case he looses…
This Clotty fight is too risky and may be a bad move for Pac Man. Clotty is no joke and he may KO Pac Man which means the Mega fight would definatly be off. This fight makes no sense what so ever.
I just hope its a great fight
Hold on…Clottey is not that easy. Pacquiao will be in trouble.
Pac-Floyd is still questionable this 2010… I will spend now before I miss entirely so Dallas here we come.
AWESOME
wish we could watch PPV here in Singapore….cable here are sucks big time they only watch football.lol
Wish i could be there to cheer clottey on. Anyone who thinks Clottey is getting knocked out is mistaken.
Are the two fights on at the same time or can we watch both one after the other? If it comes to a choice il be watching the pac vs clottey fight on tv
@ NESTOR & LAPU LAPU
COMING FROM THE BAY AREA TO SEE PACMAN KNOCK OUT CLOTTEY.
AM WITH YOU NESTOR LETS HAVE A FEW BEERS AND ROCK THE EVENT. GO PAC !!!!!!!!!!!
IM HERE IN AUSTRALIA, IM GOING TO TEXAS JUST TO SEE THE FIGHT BETWEEN BOXING SAVIOUR P4P KING PACMAN AND CLOTTEY NO MATTER HOW FAR IT IS IWANT TO SEE ‘THE EVENT’ MY FREINDS HERE ARE WATHING OVER PAYPERVIEW LETS GO AND ROCK THE DALLASCOWBOY HAVE FUN ON MARCH 13 GO PACMAN KNOCK OUT CLOTTEY…
everytime clottey lost the fight he said “i was rob again”, i hope pacquaio knock him out or else he ganna come up again with excuses..
Good opponent for pacquiao, because most people say that clottey won the last time he fought with cotto.. if pacman win against clottey, that will close the doubt.. but if clottey win, he might be the true champs in 147lbs since he face cotto..
@perry pc why charice? why not jasmine trias from hawaii?
Why not free broadcast just like the SuperBowl. This will be good promotion for the stadium. Anyway, PPV or not, I will watch, this may be one of Pac’s last fights.
4-5-6 punch combo… just like an UZI.
lets get ready to rumble…with or without mayweather, this wil be an exciting fight…LETS ALL MOVE ON and GIVE BOXING ALL OUR SUPPORT!!!
A bloody fight.
Am with jack lets get it on.
Then you guys woke up.
LET’S GO PACMAN !!!
Zao – Yea, like Buster Douglas.
Clottey will shock the world!!!
Yes retire before you are found out. You can run and try to preserve that record, but i have a feeling you will be found out eventually.
the numbers will be their in ppv, how much would attend that is the question,but in arum saying that that bush owner saying the new staduim has sold better than expected, in ever event so far is big words,that saying people loves that brand new staduim for anything,that about 20,thousand are free bees.and arum was smart in adding a lot of mexicans fighters,manny keep adding fans,even from rickys fan base,I see this event as expected or better than expected.if that true floyd not require,just mosley,

I just want to see a fight. Let’s get ready to rummmmmbleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
mayweather ducked pacquiao. too bad. but was anyone really suprised by this. mayweather has a history of cherry picking fighters.
If this was an article about Mayweather fighting Clottey it WOULDN”T say:
“”Indeed, few of them will likely have heard his name before.
It likely won’t matter, though, because Pacquiao’s name alone will probably be all that matters for his fight with Clottey to be successful.”"
It WOULD say:
“Most fans have not hear of Clottey before, confounding the belief that the unbeaten Mayweather only remains so from strategically picking opponents who will ensure a “classy” win for the cherry picking welterweight”
Biased. Pac jumped straight into this fight so he wouldn’t have to continue talks with May a.k.a he’s running scared.
This is going to be a great fight and it is going to be a full house especially if they invite Charice Pempengco to sing the Philippine or the American National Anthem. Charice Pempengco has a lot of worldwide fans who want to watch her and Manny Pacquiao.
See Charice or Charicemania website.
Awesome and clean fighter and a humble man.
The dude already down in boxing history for 7 weight class champs. Amazing achievement.
