According to The Examiner writer Michael Marley the Dallas Cowboys stadium will not play host to the Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather fight.
Bob Arum reportedly said, “Schaefer refused to go. He said they don’t want to have the fight in an outdoor stadium. I was stunned because we all had our plane tickets and all that.”

Blog By Javier Reyes (Bodysnatcher) - Judging by all things I’ve heard from the media recently it’s becoming clear that the Mayweather/Paquiao bout will happen in March 2010.
