Muhammad Ali's Celebrity Fight Night.....

According to the following link: http://phoenix.metromix.com/travel/bar_club_event/celebrity-fight-night/2445116/content
It's at 7pm, the price is $1,500 to $5,000. This star-studded gala and auction has become one of the nation’s elite charity events, raising more than $65 million for the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, as well as other charities. This year's event features musical performances by multi-platinum rockers Matchbox Twenty and Grammy Award-winning singer Kelly Clarkson, along with country singer Lee Greenwood, rocker Bret Michaels and "America’s Got Talent" finalist Jackie Evancho. Country music superstar Reba McEntire serves as emcee, and comedians Billy Crystal and Sinbad also perform. Kevin Costner and his band, Modern West, provide the after-party entertainment. Also attending the event are this year’s recipients of the Muhammad Ali Celebrity Fight Night awards: actress Halle Berry, GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons, former NBA and NFL owner Red McCombs and LPGA Champion Cristie Kerr.
