Guess Who at EW Knows Most About "Numero Uno" - Boxing's Next Big Fight!

-
Yes, that’s Jennifer Okamura at Olvera Street’s Kiosko Stage this past Sunday during Golden Boy Promotions’ Fan Rally for Juan Manuel Marquez’s upcoming fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr., an event produced by EventWorks.
Jenni: “Floyd Mayweather is coming out of retirement to fight Marquez. He said that he would only come out of retirement to fight “the best”. Mayweather retired at 38-0 – the undisputed pound for pound champion in his league. Marquez is being touted as “Numero Uno” out of Mexico. They are calling this fight Number One – Number Uno.”


Jennifer met Golden Boy Promotions a year ago during a large press conference to promote Oscar’s fight against Steve Forbes in Carson, CA.
“We were called to help with the large media event at the Biltmore Hotel. We basically took over the hotel and put up enormous signage for the press conference. We also created a custom carpet for Oscar to walk in. I met Golden Boys’ P.R. person, Monica, and we became good friends.”

It turned out that both women share more than an unsuspected passion for boxing, they also both graduated from USC’s Annenberg School Of Communications.
Jenni: “It’s true what they say about USC. It does create a bond between us alumni.”
Jennifer has been handling all the Golden Boy Promotions press conferences and events since May 2008.
“The Fan Rally last Sunday was pretty much an anniversary.”
EventWorks took care of the stage, all video and audio for Sunday’s fan event as well as Monday’s press conference at Café Pinot in Los Angeles. Again providing stage, barricades, press riser, pool feed and other audio and video services.
“On Sunday, it was only Juan Manuel Marquez who came out to the fan
event. He took great care to sign
autographs and take photos. It was a great fiesta. There were mariachi bands. Fans told us they drove for hours to meet Marquez.
Oscar de la Hoya came to the press conference on Monday. They are moving on to New York and London to promote the fight.”

Fight time is July 18th 2009, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

“Oscar wins either way! Golden Boy Promotions has a stake in both fighters,”

We recently had a Fabulous Tour of the Fabulous Forum, courtesy of our friend Jill Przelenski, Director, Special Events & Family Entertainment. In a nutshell: the re-invented Forum deserves the media hype it received. Eagles' Glenn Frey exclaimed: “The Forum is the best sounding large building anywhere in the world. Take my word for it, we’ve played them all.” It also offers exquisite event space possibilities that allow us to create a VIP Experience of any size! The legendary Forum Club serves as special entrance for private and corporate events. It's a VIP Experience from the first moment onward as this area has special parking privileges and street access.  Painting and maintenance crews were hard at work inside and outside of  the new hall that reopened in January 2014.  Jill Przelenski: "We don't allow any wear and tear. Paint, carpets, furnishings - everything gets lots of attention and is constantly updated." Forum Red, inspire...

San Luis Obispo Museum of Art - wrapped in The Red Line by Doron Gazit. Since we last checked in with Doron Gazit, the artist and industrial designer has lined multiple locations in California with The Red Line and his art work is currently on exhibit at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art as well as The Loft at Liz's in Los Angeles. He is being mentioned in one breath with Cristo! We look forward to working with Doron to wrap an environmentally themed event. We were happy to report on The Red Line at the Dead Sea in September 2015. In the 8 months since, Doron has installed his environmental awareness art project in several locations in drought ravaged California. As always The Red Line concept highlights the impact of Global Warming on the environment. In December of 2015, The Red Line snaked through the Pyramid Lake burn area, just North of Los Angeles. Doron Gazit: "After my Red Line installation in the sinkholes of the Dead Sea, I continued to draw the line...
