All these years later, the epic "Fight Night at The Joe" has proven to be a modestly profitable enterprise for Darren McCarty and Claude Lemieux.
McCarty, the Red Wings' popular enforcer, and Lemieux, the Colorado Avalanche star scorer, will be together again Saturday night in Royal Oak, holding a 25th-anniversary watch party and fan question-and-answer session at the Fifth Avenue bar.
Tickets for the event, dubbed "Fight Night Reloaded," are $50. Fans can watch the March 26, 1997, Avalanche-Red Wings game with McCarty and Lemieux. They will provide commentary throughout the broadcast, and then will answer fans question.
