Manny Pacquiao fight has strong lure

ARLINGTON, Texas — Bob Arum is confident.

The long-time promoter and founder of Top Rank, one of the more successful promotional companies in the sport of boxing, believes Saturday night’s Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito super welterweight title fight at Cowboys Stadium will reach record numbers.

Arum thinks the $1.2 billion venue located between Dallas and Fort Worth will draw 60,000 fans.

The first boxing match in this venue, March 13 between Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey, drew 50,994, the third-largest indoor crowd in boxing history.

“It’s on a very good time of year,” Arum said this week. “It’s well before Thanksgiving, way before Christmas and it’s the first big fight in about four months. All the stars are aligned
