Record 550 enjoy "Real Estate Fight Night"

Some 550 real estate executives representing dozens of "blue chip" firms with names like Witkoff, Tishman, Invesco, Thor Equities, Eastdil Secured, The Trump Organization, Taconic Investment Partners, and DDG jammed Madison Square Garden Theatre for an evening of action in the ring and networking. Bouts began at 6 pm and culminated with the anticipated main event after midnight featuring Muay Thai master Chris Kwiatkowski, of J.D. Carlisle and Spencer Grekoski, who trained at the Weapons Nine gym in New Jersey. Kwiatkowski knocked down Grekoski in the first round, but ended up losing in the second. Event organizers invited 100 active duty U.S. troops and veterans so they could enjoy the action.
