Get in the RingKNOCKOUT
Who gives a shit if Erin Elmore was fired by Donald Trump or Frank Bialowas doesn't play for the Phantoms anymore? Hopefully someone, as these are the sorts of C-list celebs headlining this weekend's Broad Street Brawl, a seven-match boxing fundraiser for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Organizer Dave Hagan founded the event after his little brother was diagnosed with diabetes; he hopes to fill the 1,200 seats at the legendary Blue Horizon the same spot where Rocky V and the upcoming Justin Woo flick Annapolis were filmed with eager boxing fanatics willing to donate a buck for a good cause. Elmore is emceeing the fights, and all boxers (save Bialowas) are amateurs, including many local policemen and firefighters. "I swear, officer, mama said knock you out."
Broad Street Brawl, Sat., Sept. 10, 8 p.m., $30, Blue Horizon, 1314 N. Broad St.,www.broadstreetbrawl.org.
