It certainly beats the cost of an electrician to come and install and outlet.
If you don't have a ceiling fixture there already, and you aren't electrically capable, then the swag lamp is the best way to go.

You will have to mount the fan to a ceiling joist or something that will support the weight and force of an operating fan. Also, how will you power the fixture without existing wiring? Seems to me it is easier to hire an electrician to do it right instead of destroying your fan and damaging your ceiling when it falls, which is more expensive to fix.

I have not seen a swag ceiling fan. S i can't say that it would work well. But you could do any number of things with cord covers so as not to break drywall.
