    “Bob Arum (Top Rank president) has spoken directly to Jerry Jones. This would be an impressive site to hold a historical boxing event,..We would definitely try to schedule a fight with Mayweather in March, which is something fans have been waiting to see for some time.”

    Apparently, Top Rank is looking to have Pacquiao fight at Cowboys Stadium in March after he kicks Cotto's ass. Mayweather seems to be the no.1 target for Pacquiao. They always talk about having fights at a big stadium in the U.S. It never happens though. I hope it works out. Cowboys stadium is really nice. Too bad it's home to a piece of **** team.

    that would be epic.... Mayweather vs Pac at cowboys stadium.... DAMN.



    Its too bad Pac will be sent down to 140 after his valiant but losing efforts against cotto.

    but still.... the fight would be epic. Pac is the kind of fighter that can have a superfight even if he loses the fight prior.

    Won't happen and shouldn't happen. Vegas is the epicentre of big fights now. It's not just the arena, it's the whole occasion that people go for. Pacquiao v Mayweather in Vegas does over 3 million PPV's easily, and would likely be sold out at the MGM Grand or a similar venue.

    You're crazy if you think it does 3 million PPVs "easy", unless you're counting international pay per view sales. No way it shatters all records by that kind of margin.

    And I don't think the location of the fight has any bearing whatsoever on PPV sales.

    This is probably a negotiating ploy by Bob Arum. If he makes it seem like he has another viable option to put on the fight where he can make more money, then maybe a casino will jack up their site fee.

    This would be awesome, I have been in the in cowboys new stadium, that big ass widescreen TV in the is so ****ing awesome. Vegas may be the epicenter of big fights, but this would be the eqivlenat of kiltshco fight in that soccer stadium in germany. That would have the biggest fight attendence in history, that would be fight of the freakin decade.

    Always thought that a fight of this magnitude shouldnt be cramped in a small casino. At the very least it should be in MSG, but definitely a stadium would be best.

    This PPV would be big, but come on. 3 milion? If tyson in his prime who was all over SNL/NEWS/InLivingColor/Magazines couldn't do 3 million when he was a household name... I know people who have no clue who Floyd mayweather is. That's impossible.

    Easy, Jerry Jones could be a ESB member. He might change his mind after your post of stating of his shitty team.

    I really hope they do start having fights at big stadiums. That'd be awesome.
