"Manny defending his title against Joshua Clottey is not just a great event, it's a great fight, and one we can showcase to the fullest in Cowboys Stadium. We're going to promote this like it was the Super Bowl."
The new $1.2 billion stadium will seat 40,000 for the pay-per-view bout and Arum said in a statement he was delighted with the venue.
"Manny Pacquiao is the lone star of boxing," he said, referring to the nickname of the state of Texas.
