In Texas, they say that everything there is bigger.
When it comes to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ foray into the boxing game, the saying holds true. Jones will play host Saturday night to around 45,000 boxing fans as the sport’s biggest attraction in Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao puts his WBO Welterweight title on the line against the tough as nails Ghanaian in Joshua Clottey.
Not a bad way to introduce the fight game to the brand new $1.2 billion dollar Cowboys Stadium. But then again, the former Arkansas oil man wouldn’t have it any other way.
He made headlines from the moment he purchased the Cowboys from Bum Bright back in 1989 by immediately canning long time coach Tom Landry in favor of bringing in good friend Jimmy Johnson from the University of Miami. The Dallas fans and media crucified him for it despite Landry no longer being on top of his game.
