Could Cowboys Stadium host super fights like Pacquiao vs. Mayweather?

[freeloada]

Although a punter hit the overhead $40 million scoreboard with an errant kick, let's agree Arlington, Texas and it's spanking new Cowboys Stadium will be the premiere boxing facility in the world.

I have been in it for a tour and a couple of events and this is the finest facility in the world. Locals call it Jerry World, for Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

Legendary Paul McCartney graced the facility last week.

The Super Bowl is coming after next season, which should end all arguments.

Arlington, used to be the hyphen between Dallas and Fort Worth. Now with this stadium that can be expanded to 100,000 seats and a walk across the parking lot to baseball's Texas Rangers state of the art stadium, the country's fifth largest TV market is a world class, international city and can host the big time ultimate mega fights.

Let's start with Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Can you imagine a pilgrimage of 80,000 rabid Pinoy's, and a couple of Mayweather and Zab Judah fan's arriving in Dallas - Fort Worth for fight week?

Even though both of these stadiums lack title sponsors. and the local economy is a little flat, I know local investors would belly up to the bar to buy the live gate from promoter Bob Arum.

Pacquiao has already fought in Texas twice, just 270 miles south of Dallas in San Antonio. Remember the glorious upset of Mexican Marco Antonio Barrera in the Alamodome.and later a win over Julio Solis also at the Alamodome?

Dallas - Fort Worth Airport is also one of the world's biggest and busiest and Dallas has more restaurants per resident than any city in the country.

The area only lacks casinos. There is pari-mutual horse racing.almost next door, but casinos are an hour north in Oklahoma and three hours east in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Now only a Floyd Mayweather loss to Juan Manuel Marquez September 19 in Las Vegas and Pacquiao needing a win over Miguel Cotto November 14 stands in the way of Pacquiao - Mayweather becoming a reality.

I imagine the chess game has already started to land the big fight.

Cowboys Stadium and the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex stand ready.

They would have to raise the scoreboard 1st. When PBF punts pacq's head in the air it may hit that low scoreboard.

LOL like a boxing match in the US could even draw enough people to fill a quarter of that stadium.

Actually.. a fight of that magnitude is highly possible.. but in Texas? ? In Vegas damn right it would fill quick.. but i just dont know if texas has that kind of drawing power.. I could be wrong though.

That stadium is ******ed.

Why worry about spending money on something that could help your team win a championship (or at least have a winning season) when you can spend it on an impractical and unnecessary new stadium with serious design flaws?

mayweather has to worry about filling the MGM Grand before even dreaming about filling up the cowboys stadium.

[street bully]

I read that the stadiums owner actually wanted Manny to have his next fight there.
