Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones usually gets what he wants and that means Pacquiao vs. Mayweather March 13

Billionaire Jerry Jones of Dallas, Texas usually gets what he wants. I believe he's going to get the Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. fight in his brand new $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium.

He envisioned the stadium and the 2011 NFL Super Bowl years ago and he now has them both. He's trying to close the fight deal now and that's his favorite part of this business, as Las Vegas and maybe New Orleans are also playing hardball. Jones and his Cowboys will be in New York for a Sunday game with the New York Giants.

What a great place to make such an announcement. But I believe it's still premature by a few weeks.

What Jones has going for him is Home Boxing Office. I bet HBO would love to have the fight in Arlington. Although Las Vegas has been good in the past for HBO.

But HBO wants to generate a real Super Bowl atmosphere that it believes Cowboys Stadium can help deliver.

Potentially over 100,000 fans wrapped around a 20 x 20 ring and thousands more watching on the gigantic screens outside the stadium. This could do nothing but generate more publicity for non and casual fans that would then buy more pay-per-views and generate more money for everybody involved.

HBO's Larry Merchant once told me that fans in Las Vegas get very emotional about their money and it's a great place to hold fights. No argument.

Texas has taken big fights from Las Vegas in the past, including two Manny Pacquaio fights. The 2003 Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera I in the San Antonio Alamodome and the 2007 Pacquiao vs. Jorge Solis also in the Alamodome.

In 1993 Don King brought Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Pernell Whitaker to the San Antonio Alamodome for the mythical pound for pound battle and it drew 63,000.

Bob Arum brought Oscar De La Hoya to Texas twice when The Golden Boy was at his peak promotion-wise against David Kamau at the Alamodome in front of a big crowd in 1997 and Patrick Charpentier to the outdoor El Paso Sun Bowl in 1998 drew 46,000.

Meaning big fights and Texas go together. As a famous person once said. "This isn't our first rodeo."

Arlington, Texas has long been known as the hyphen between Dallas and Fort Worth. The "Metroplex" is the nation's fifth largest TV market.

Fort Worth is actually the greater fight town they will tell you. Donald Curry, Little Stevie Cruz, Gene "Mad Dog" Hatcher, Paulie Ayala and Troy Dorsey all won world titles out of Fort Worth in the past 25 years.

Dallas is home to Hall of Fame welterweight Curtis Cokes and former middleweight champion Quincy Taylor.

Known as "Jerry World" by the locals, the stadium (which is the largest domed building in the world) is only 20 minutes from DFW Airport (the third busiest in the world) and the downtown sections of both Dallas and Fort Worth.

A horse race tack is minutes away and the beautiful Texas Rangers Ball Park shares the parking lot with Cowboys Stadium.
