In mid September Tony Hawk will reportedly be joining Richard Petty, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Sugar Ray Leonard, Joe Namath, Jim Brown, Fuzzy Zoeller, Mike Ditka, Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, and Dr. J (among others) to play poker in the Sports Legends Challenge at the Atlantis Paradise Island resort and casino in the Bahamas.
“With the addition of Liddell, Couture, Hawk and Messier, we will enhance the experience for participants and entice a whole new audience of sports fans to be part of this event,” Bibbero said. “We’ve had an unbelievable response to this first-ever event. The support from the sports, poker and fan communities reinforces our vision to turn the Sports Legends Challenge into a series of worldwide events.”
We might have a hard time turning down an invitation to hang out in the Bahama’s with those guys, too, and we’re not even into team sports. Civilians who would like to gamble elbow to elbow with their heros need only pay $3,799 a person.
