About FightNight

Nothing Beats 'The Original'

FightNight is a spectacular evening of professional boxing, exceptional cuisine, casino gaming, Las Vegas-style entertainment, 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.

We are celebrating FightNight with a formal, black-tie dress code. For men, this generally consists of a tuxedo with a bow tie, white shirt, and patent leather shoes. Women typically wear full-length evening or ball gowns and heels.

How do tickets work?

Digital tickets will be distributed to guests via email in advance of the event. Guests must present digital ticket or ticket QR code for entry.

All seating in the ballroom is reserved and assigned 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?

FightNight guests may place bets on each of the fights throughout the evening. Cash bets will not be accepted.

Raffle prize winners will be selected by computer a week after the event and notified by TREC staff.

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 for use in blackjack, roulette, and craps.

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

Three raffles will take place during Fightnight – our Betting Raffle, 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.
