FIGHT NIGHT: THE MILLION DOLLAR HEIST Packs a Punch in Atlanta

Consider this a heads up, Atlanta. You better tighten your laces, get in fighting shape, and get ready for an entertainment knockout. Why? The highly anxiously awaited TV show, Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist, is about to pack a powerful punch in the city. Supported by big names like Kevin Hart, Samuel L. Jackson, and Taraji P. Henson, Fight Night is gearing up to be an event to remember.

Plot and Purpose

Now, in case you’re in the dark about what the show is all about, Fight Night is a series that revolves around an armed robbery on the night of Muhammad Ali’s historic 1970 comeback fight. The incident didn’t just affect the man who was robbed but also left a significant impact on the Atlanta community that’s still felt today.

But the show isn’t just highlighting black history and culture in the city. It’s going a step further and taking action to support it too. How? By shining a light on local black-owned businesses in Atlanta.

Painter E.L. Chisolm and Muralist Yuzly Mathurin

But wait! There’s more. As part of an overall creative project, Peacock, the company backing the series, has drafted local artists E.L. Chisolm and Yuzly Mathurin to develop unique murals throughout Atlanta. These pieces of art have been commissioned to further promote the narrative of the show and uplift the local creative scene, and they’ll be popping up in spots all over the city.

And what’s a 70s show without a bit of nostalgic paraphernalia? Peacock has worked with car customization company West Coast Customs and their student academy to design a real-life replica of Chicken Man’s 1966 Cadillac Calais, the ride featured in the series. Keep your eyes peeled for it as it tours around the city.

Rolling Back Prices For One Day Only

Oh, and if you’re a fan of cool promos, you definitely do not want to miss this. On Saturday, August 24, Peacock and Fight Night are giving you a chance to experience the glitz and glam of the 70s with throwback pricing at several local black-owned businesses based around Atlanta. With discounted offers lasting for the entire day, it’s a chance for you to soak in the wonderful atmosphere of the show while diving into the vibrant local culture and businesses in Atlanta.

You’ll have a chance to feast on Southern comfort food and drink sweet tea for only 50 cents at Paschal’s Restaurant, or down a whiskey for just four bucks during a special 70s disco funk night at Clermont Hotel’s Rooftop Bar. You can also pamper yourself with a manicure for less than $20 at Tu La 2 Nail Salon or snag a cool branded T-shirt for an unbelievable $8 at Versus ATL.

That’s not all, folks! There are tons more deals at other hotspots like Brooklyn Tea ATL, Sublime Donuts, and Copper Cove.

Ending Thoughts

To cut a long story short, Peacock and Fight Night are not just bringing a cool show to the city. They’re working to elevate and recognize local artists and businesses, livening up Atlanta’s bustling culture and community, and creating a tangible connection between the events of the show and reality.

So, Atlanta, mark your calendars and prepare to celebrate history and make new memories with the Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist event. It’s a knockout you won’t want to miss!
