Maybe it had to do with the person with whom he was standing, but Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones heard a spattering of boos as he was presented with a boxing award Friday at the weigh-in for the Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito super welterweight fight.
WBC president Jose Sulaiman presented Jones with the WBC Man of the Year trophy prior to the weigh-in at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, where a few boos could be heard.
Sulaiman himself has been a controversial figure for over a decade as the head of the governing body. But Jones might have been booed for his team's poor play, which resulted in the firing of coach Wade Phillips after a 1-7 start.
Jones has kept a low profile this week after firing Phillips. He was seen at Cowboys practice Wednesday during the media access period before Friday's weigh-in.
