It’s not every day you meet a classically trained opera singer who puts on some of the world’s largest boxing events for a living. Enter Erin Calhoun.
Calhoun’s unique background fuels her passion, spending countless hours researching different genres of music, studying up-and-coming artists and gaining insight into all areas of the entertainment industry in order to bring the best music and sporting events to MGM. And she has booked some of the greatest, including Elton John, The Weeknd, Jay-Z and Guns N’ Roses, as well as some of the biggest sporting events like Mayweather vs. McGregor and Canelo vs. GGG.
With an eye for strategic partnerships, Calhoun also forged a relationship with the team at Psycho Las Vegas, which resulted in the move of the rock music festival from Hard Rock to Mandalay Bay—planned pre-pandemic to take over five stages and feature 70 iconic acts over three days.
