Now that the smoke has cleared from the fog machines and pyrotechnics at the Manny Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey press conference yesterday, we have a few details about the welterweight championship fight March 13 at Cowboys Stadium.

Here’s what emerged about a fight the promoters are modestly calling “The Event.”

* The set up will be similar to a basketball game with the ring in the middle of the field and the upper deck blocked off. The seating is estimated at 40,000, but promoter Bob Arum told the Los Angeles Times that it could be expanded to 60,000 if needed.

* Tickets will range from $700 for ringside seats all the way down to $50.

* Ticket go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Saturday, but the Cowboys ticket holders will get a shot at them before then.

* The Fort Worth Star-Telegram and other media outlets reported that the video board will be lowered to about 30 feet above the ring.
