About FightNight

Nothing Beats ‘The Original’

FightNight is a spectacular evening of professional boxing, exceptional cuisine, casino gaming, and the opportunity to network with the top decision makers in Dallas Fort-Worth’s commercial real estate industry and political community.

Since its inception in 1989, FightNight has become one of North Texas’ largest philanthropic events, raising more than $35 million to support TREC Community Investors and its neighborhood revitalization partnerships.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How can I buy tickets or sponsorships?

TREC members and non-members alike are welcome to attend and sponsor FightNight. However, individual tickets are not being sold for this event. Tickets will not be sold at the door. If you are interested in purchasing a table or sponsorship, please contact us.

What is the dress code?

Our dress code is inspired by the timeless glamour of a 1960s Vegas lounge. FightNight XXXVII will evoke the sophistication of the era through decor, entertainment, and atmosphere. Guests should dress in classic black-tie attire: tuxedo or dinner jacket for men and evening gowns or formal cocktail dresses and jumpsuits dresses for women.

What time does the event start?

FightNight will open with a cocktail reception beginning at 6:30 p.m. The ballroom doors will open at approximately 8:00 p.m., and dinner will be served.

Are the fights real?

Yes! All FightNight bouts are real, sanctioned boxing matches officiated by licensed referees and judges. Fighters train and compete under established boxing rules, with participant safety as a top priority.

How do tickets work?

FightNight XXXVII uses the GiveSmart platform for ticketing, mobile bidding and event-day boxing betting. All tickets are digital. No physical tickets will be distributed.

Table hosts will receive an email from GiveSmart with instructions for assigning tickets to their guests. Once a ticket has been assigned, guests will receive a text message or email prompting them to claim their ticket.

A few days before the event, all guests will receive a text message with their table number and other details.

When you arrive at the event, simply provide your name and table host to one of our greeters for check-in.

Please note that tickets and tables must be purchased in advance. No individual tickets or tables will be sold at the door.

Where should I park?

All guests will receive a complimentary pass for use at the valet, which is located off the hotel’s Lamar Street entrance. Self-parking is also available. Click here for a parking guide.

We strongly encourage our guests to use rideshare services. Alto is offering FightNight guests $10 off two rides ($20 total) using the code TRECFN26 in the Alto app. Offer valid September 24 only.

Where am I sitting?

All seating in the ballroom is reserved with table number assignments indicated to your company table host. There will be greeters and hostesses to help you and your guests find your table as well as seating chart signs posted in the ballroom. Dinner will begin at 8:00 p.m.

How can I bet on the fights?

Thanks to our Betting Raffle Sponsor, NexBank, guests can place bets on all post-dinner fights beginning on event day before the boxing program starts and prior to the start of the last fight.

Bets can be placed online through the FightNight GiveSmart portal (a link will be proided when betting opens). Guests may also place bets using the printed bout cards available at each table or by visiting the Betting Booth in the ballroom.

Please note: Cash bets are not accepted.

Winning bets will be exchanged for raffle entries. Following the event, raffle winners will be selected using a random computer-generated drawing and notified by TREC staff on the Monday after FightNight.

How does the casino work?

The casino will open at 9:30 p.m., when the fights begin. Games will end at 11:15 p.m. Each guest will receive one playing chip at check-in for use in blackjack, roulette, and craps. Chips may be converted to tickets for submission in our Casino Raffle by the professional dealers. Guests may purchase additional gaming chips throughout the evening.

Please note: FightNight is a cashless event.

At the end of the event, guests may exchange their casino chips for raffle tickets through the professional casino dealers. Guests should complete their raffle tickets and place them in the raffle drum before the event concludes.

Winning tickets will be drawn after FightNight, and winners will be contracted by TREC staff on the Monday following the event.

Can I still enter the raffle if I don’t gamble?

Three raffles will take place during Fightnight – our Betting Raffle sponsored by NexBank, Casino Raffle, and our ALC Raffle, which is sponsored by Rosewood Property Company. In the weeks leading up to FightNight, guests may purchase raffle tickets from Associate Leadership Council class members for prizes that will be announced in the ring between fights. There will also be volunteers selling tickets during the cocktail reception.
