Manny Pacquiao vs Joshua Clottey a Big Boxing Match Saturday in Dallas (TICKETS, PREVIEW).  The “Pac Man” was going to fight Floyd Mayweather, Jr on March 13.  Instead, those plans fell through and Joshua Clottey appears to be the main contender in the match.

On Saturday, Pacquiao and Clottey will glove up at the Dallas Cowboy’s stadium in Texas.  The event will be broadcast on Pay-Per-View on HBO, and the purse is expected to be quite high.

Pacquiao is a though fighter –he’s pound for pound best in the league.  However, Clottey shouldn’t be taken lightly, as he’s a strong fighter as well.  Both men are looking forward to the event, and respect their opponent.

Sure, a Mayweather fight would have been a bigger deal.  After all, Mayweather was undefeated and then went into retirement.  He came out of retirement with talks of fighting Pacquiao, who’s got a reputation for being one of the best.

Pacquiao is favored to win in the match against Joshua Clottey.  However, there are many out there who believe that the fighter from Ghana will have what it takes to show Pacquiao a tough fight – and maybe even beat him.

Pacquiao recently defeated Cotto, who recently defeated Clottey.  This is what makes many think that Clottey will be a cake walk for the Pac-Man.  I wouldn’t get too confident, though – both men are phenomenal fighters.

Tickets for the fight are still available.  Want to purchase some? You can head over to StubHub.com – but I wouldn’t wait too long.
