    Pacquiao - Clottey fight nears sellout.

    Boxing promoter Bob Arum said the Manny Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey WBO welterweight title fight scheduled for March 13 at Cowboys Stadium is nearly a sellout.

    Arum said the seating capacity for the first boxing match at the new $1.2 billion facility will be 45,000. However, it could expand if the demand for tickets increases.

    "Right now we're on target to sell the 45,000 seats and we'll be happy when we do that," Arum said on a conference call with reporters. "We sold 350 tickets [Wednesday] and are on target of doing that [again] today."

    Cowboys officials said over 30,000 seats have been purchased.

    Arum said if 3,000 to 4,000 tickets are unsold leading into the final week before the fight, promoters would have no problem selling those.


    Sorry if posted before, just wanted to share, seems like the fight is doing alright after all.

      They should have brought this fight to England and filled a stadium with 100,000 people paying the same price (or more than in the US). They could have it at 2am and still hit the East Cost PPV audience.

      The USA is too big a country to get 100,000 together for boxing. In the UK we'd go crazy for Manny (or Mayweather/Mosely etc) if they fought here.
