ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - The Beatles played it. Bruce Springsteen, too. LBJ was nominated there, and dozens of Miss America winners walked the 90-foot runway inside.
They don't have Boardwalk Hall dressing rooms named after them, though, or places in its Hall of Fame. Arturo Gatti does.
In a city with few sure bets, Gatti is one of them. Whenever the rough-and-tumble welterweight fights at Boardwalk Hall, the cavernous Depression-era landmark comes alive, with sellout crowds, raucous home-state cheering sections and boxing action that inevitably leaves Gatti bloody and his fans satisfied.
