The fighters in tonight’s Broker Boxing match have been training for months — flipping through papers, conducting marathon open houses, and putting “Beautiful 2BR, Spacious Balcony” ads all over the place. We’ll see if it has worked tonight at 6, when high-profile Miami real estate types such as Thomas Kramer, Grant Killingsworth, and Nathan Lieberman will be paired up for a real-live eight-bout fight card. Just the thought of these guys having to take Ben-Gay baths makes us forget about sky-high interest rates. But tonight’s event at Mansion isn’t all about the scrap. Proceeds will benefit Alonzo Mourning Charities, and Zo and Brooke Hogan will be hosting — while simultaneously providing the requisite star power. Bet on the bouts and you’ll be in the running for prizes that will make even Zo swoon. If the sight of fisticuffs makes you cringe, indulge in the premium open bar and a fabulous spread from restaurants including The Forge and Prime 112. This night of brawling will set you back $100, $250 for VIP — a small price to pay to watch the opening of a can of whoop-ass. Visit www.bbfmiami.com.
