    As expected, there was a mixture of Manny Pacquiao fans, Joshua Clottey fans and Dallas Cowboys fans at Friday's weigh-in for the first fight in the team's $1.2 billion structure. And as expected, the Pacquiao fans made the most noise. "Who all out there are Dallas Cowboys fans? What about Joshua Clottey fans?" asked former Dallas Cowboys safety Darren Woodson to a lukewarm response.

    According to Freddie Roach, in no way is his fighter, Manny Pacquiao, taking Saturday’s welterweight fight with Joshua Clottey at Dallas Cowboys Stadium lightly. The trainer himself however, isn’t giving Clottey much of a shot.

    Jerry Jones says Cowboys, NFL will lift boxing

    March 9, 2010

    By Brett Okamoto

    The American business juggernaut that is the NFL has historically been fairly hesitant to extend its influence in aiding other sports, according to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. However, Jones says the similarities he sees between boxing and football have made it easy to connect the two in promoting the welterweight bout between Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey Saturday at Jones' $1.2 billion stadium — and should make it easy to continue to do so down the road.

UFC 141
Jon Jones defends belt for third time, downs rival Rashad Evans

UFC 145 Jon Jones had already gotten past three former light heavyweight champions in the last 13 months — Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Lyoto Machida. Now, Rashad Evans can be added to the list. Jones put Evans away in Atlanta with a unanimous decision victory, taking a combined 13 rounds out of a possible 15 combined on the three judges' scorecards. Jones rebuffed all of Evans' takedown attempts to keep the fight against his former training partner standing. Jones' striking was at another level, as he flawlessly mixed elbows, jabs and leg kicks to keep Evans guessing for the duration of the fight.
