That night started this run of nine shows in a row in Atlantic City. We don’t have to be the biggest promoter in the world but we are successful.“We’re just trying to live in the moment for now and get ready for when things get rolling again.”Here’s what Kathy Duva had to say about six of her most memorable nights in the sport:Sugar Ray Leonard (left) and Thomas Hearns meet for the undisputed welterweight crown. «Je n'ai pas eu affaire à quelqu'un qui sort de ses gonds, a déclaré Jean Bédard d'Interbox. Duva graduated from Montclair State College with a BA in English. Martin Lawrence took him out one night, and I remember, as they were leaving, Martin Lawrence said, ‘Don’t worry, I won’t get him in any trouble.’ I said, ‘I’m not worried about him, I’m worried about you (laughs).”Evander Holyfield cracks Riddick Bowe in their rematch.

Even the weigh-in was done separately.“The fight started and it was exactly what I expected. The Reverend Jesse Jackson set a land speed record getting out of there. Kathy Duva with former three-time light heavyweight titleholder Sergey Kovalev. Lou wanted it in Connecticut and we wanted it in Atlantic City.
Everyone was so fixated on having the face-off that it scared me.
They started trying to beat the guy up. He came from behind Bowe’s corner. He was wearing this very colorful dashiki, a bowler hat, a stick that looked like a divining rod. When Kathy Duva lost her husband, Dan, to a brain tumor in 1996, she knew that, with three school-age children at home, she couldn’t fill his role as head of boxing promotion company Main Events, even though he’d passed controlling interest to her. All sold out.“This all started when HBO decided to give Gatti a farewell fight if he would take the [Oscar] De La Hoya fight. They weren’t going to accept any authority from me and I wasn’t accepting it from them.
The farewell fight turned into that fight with Micky Ward and that jump-started his career instead of ending it. He said, ‘You’re going to know everything is going OK when the place gets really, really quiet.’ We started saying, ‘When you can hear a pin drop.’ That was the watch word, Whitaker, would go, ‘Pin drop, pin drop.’ That was the goal and he got it, that place was like a church!“You’re sitting there watching him win almost every round. Tomasz was going into an eliminator, he just needed a promoter to make the deal.

We ended up promoting the fight because Ray Leonard’s manager, Mike Trainer, was mad at Bob Arum and Don King.
All of the above fighters eventually challenged for world titles.

In 2001 she graduated with Honors from Seton Hall Law School where she currently sits on the Board of Visitors.Kathy’s three children with Dan are Nicole, (26), Lisa, (25) and Bryan (20). She also covered women’s sports for the New Jersey Edition of the New York Daily News before moving on to the position of Assistant Director of College Relations at William Paterson University. There’s another bidder, it’s Main Events. Putting that deal together was just torture.

Chaque compagnie de promotion a besoin de gagnants.
I kept telling everyone Holyfield was going to win and they all thought I was crazy. [On the day], I went back to my seat and my last words to Gary were, ‘No way, no how, they’re not going to go near each other.’ Low and behold I sit down and they come out and walk right up to each other, face-to-face, and you saw what happened. Even the weigh-in was done separately.“The fight started and it was exactly what I expected. Staff picks and predictions Personne ne la sous-estime. J'essaie de proposer des contrats qui peuvent convenir aux deux clans.
There was so much faith in Whitaker’s ability, and he wanted the fight so badly, so we had to take the risk. I remember the night of the first fight, when it ended our mouths were hanging open.
