‘The Event’ makes Cowboys Stadium bigger than life

When Dallas Cowboys franchise holder Jones teamed up with Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, there was no turning back for Pacquiao’s gargantuan exposure in this scenic Texas metropolis known for its buffalo steak and hospitality. It was the world championship that breached the expected 45,000 (51,000 people came from all over the United States and Mexico) audience even if Pacquiao, the world best pound-for-pound boxer, was up against a relatively unknown black challenger from Ghana who has repulsed 20 of his 35 victims by knockout.
