Boxing fanatics will surely rent out a big ho! Ho! For this upcoming Pacman-Clottey fight on March. Manny “ Pacman” Pacquiao’s March 13 fight against Ghana’s Joshua Clottey will be held at Cowboys Stadium, the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboy. But of course, you can still Watch Pacquiao Vs Clottey Online Free here in kralix, live online streaming, on the day of the fight itself. It was reported that Dallas Cowboys Football league owner Jerry Jones wrapped the deal with Top Rank promotions boss Bob Arum after both attended the Cowboys’ NFL playoff which won them over Philadelphia.
Jones had the facility wrapped spick and span, and ready to well accommodate the spectator to this superfight. The same venue was picked also the much anticipated fight between Pacquiao and unbeaten American Floyd Mayweather, which was trashed due to some reasons. According to both camps, which shared biews as to the reason why it was cancelled, the super-fight fell through for good over a disagreement on the drug testing protocol, and Arum lined up Clottey for Pacquiao’s World Boxing Organization welterweight title defense.
The Pacquiao-Mayweather stint, which had been hesitantly scheduled for March 13 in Las Vegas fell apart over the issue of pre-fight anti-doping blood tests. Mayweather in the beginning insisted they be conducted right up to the fight, while Pacquiao wanted a 30-day cut off before the bout. They were unable to reach a negotiation.The stadium reportedly will be set up to seat 40,000 to 50,000 fans, and could be expanded if necessary. Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix said ticket prices will range from $700 to $50.
Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum announced he has reached a deal with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to host the fight at the modern arena, which will be configured to seat 50,000 or more.
Arum told the Los Angeles Times that Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 by knockouts) stands to earn $10 million to $20 million from the fight against the hard-punching Clottey (35-3, 20 knockouts). It wouldn’t really matter if a lot of people would Watch Pacquiao Vs Clottey fight online free.
A press conference announcing the fight is scheduled for January 18 at the Cowboys home turf, also known as Jerry World, in Arlington, Texas. March 13 is a firm date because the March 20 fight date being considered by Top Rank is already taken by a motocross event at the $1.2 billion arena.
Roach said style-wise, Clottey promises to be a very exciting, action-filled match-up for Pacquiao because both punchers love to fight. Pacquiao is prepared to fight the winner of the title unification fight between “Sugar” Shane Mosley and Andre Berto on January 30 should he go past Clottey.Meanwhile, Golden Boy Promotions Chief Executive Richard Schaefer said Mayweather is determined to fight a yet to be determined opponent on March 13.
If this is true, the pay-per-view broadcaster HBO would have to choose which fight—Pacquiao’s or Mayweather’s—to air on that date.This is a component of the promotion that does not appear to worry Arum, since Top Rank is used to packaging its own pay-per-view fights.
The story of the Pacquiao vs Clottey fight is going to be about whether Clottey’s pressure and counter punching can overcome Pacquiao’s foot speed and quick-handed, sharp-punching attacks. Trying to penetrate Clottey’s guard is like trying to get near one of Pacquiao’s veins with a needle—no easy task, even for someone with the speed and offensive capabilities of Pacquiao. Clottey is fighting for the title and not for the money. At the same time, Pacquiao is not going to be there for Clottey to hit either. Clottey will have his moments along the way. But being light on power, he won’t be able to do enough damage or land a high enough volume of punches to slow Pacquiao to the point of submitting to his pressure game.
Another battle were going to take place later on this May 2010 at that is Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley. Mayweather vs Mosley is certainly worth watching. If Mayweather defeats Shane Mosley a lot of people (even though they hate to admit it) will have to respect him more. If Mosley beats Mayweather, oh boy, it’s open season, and let the hate rain down.
