    Possibly happened when Bruce Seldon decided to make it his nickname? Or Trump got ahead of his creditors. NY is on the comeback trail though

    Who were the big fighters that fought there regularly? Gatti?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Trump rode the pony and worked to build it up. He and King were a power duo. Then half the casinos went bust, recession and surrounding gaming jurisdictions expanded with casinos opening. But it's on a major rebound now and legalized sports betting helps. Shame there is another Tyson like phenom to roam the Boardwalk but another star attraction will emerge with more exposure. I remember the final card when MSG threw in the towel too and now they're back.
