So most people think The Real Estate Council‘s “FightNight” is such a guy event. True, the crowd of guests tends to the predominantly tuxedoed, but the ladies are growing in numbers and are real standouts. Well, this year for the 24th Annual FightNight, they’re going to have a first-ever — a female ring announcer. Yup, you heard it. . . make that, read it. Amy Hayes is “the first female ring announcer in boxing, being the first to announce world title fights.”
In addition to the four bouts of boxing, casino gambling, great food and wine, Vegas-style entertainment, there is of course the networking. After all, what is the favorite indoor/outdoor activity of real estate types?
“Where else can you have a night of high-level celebration networking among the most influential decision makers in the real estate industry and generate more than a half-million dollars that goes right back into the Dallas community?” FightNight Chairman Michael Krywucki of Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr said.
Since 1988, The Real Estate Council’s FightNight has raised more than $20 million to support the projects and efforts of its foundation.
BTW, if you’re really into the boxing in’s and out’s, then you’ll be interested in the pro’s who will be mixing it up in the ring. They’ll include:
- Bout #1 Cruiserweights: Luis Ambriz (Tyler, Texas) vs. Luther Miller (Carthage, Texas).
- Bout #2 Super Lightweights: Blake Franklin (Shreveport, La.) vs. Joel Baglio (Lake Charles, La.).
- Bout #3 Cruiserweights: Medzhid Bekteminov (Houston, Texas, originally from Russia) vs. Harry Gopaul (Sacramento, Calif.).
- Bout #4 Light Heavyweights is for the World Boxing Council (WBC) U.S. Championship Title.
It’s next Thursday and only a few tables are left.
