The biggest fight in decades is one day away with Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao setting foot inside the ring and we know which fighter Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is rooting for.

Jerry Jones is busy with the NFL Draft after the Dallas Cowboys drafted cornerback Byron Jones in the first round and the second and third rounds getting underway tonight.

But the owner and general manager of the Cowboys found some spare time in his busy schedule to write a letter to Manny Pacquiao in advance of his big fight with Floyd Mayweather on Saturday night.

Jones is clearly in the corner of Pacquiao after writing this handwritten note for the fighter the day before the biggest fight of his career.

“Manny, you’re a credit to the sport of boxing. The way you conduct yourself speaks volumes about your character! I’m so proud of you- you are very special. Your fights at our stadium are points of pride for me. Wishing you much success — Good luck. The Dallas Cowboys are in your corner.”

Pretty cool gesture from Jones to lend his support to Pacquiao and offer his gratitude to Pacquiao who has fought inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

So now I just want to know how much money Jerruh threw down on Pac-Man. Pacquiao and Mayweather had their final weigh-in on Friday night with Pac-Man checking in at 145 pounds and Mayweather tipping the scales at 145 pounds.

Mayweather holds the size advantage in the tale of the tape which is something Pacquiao isn’t unaccustomed to in his career as he’s fought bigger guys throughout his career.

Now that Pac-Man has the support of Jones and the Cowboys behind him there’s no way he won’t lose, right?

If only it were that simple. Mayweather is undefeated for his career although this could be the toughest competitor he’s faced in the ring as he looks to remain undefeated against Jerry Jones’ favorite boxer Saturday night.
