We first gave you the news that Drake and Chris Brown had been offered $1 million a piece to leave their bar brawls behind and get their gloves on in the boxing ring.
Well, since we reported that things have changed somewhat dramatically.
Forget a paltry $1 million each – Drake and Chris are now being offered $5 million a piece to fight like real men.
Celebrity Boxing Founder Damon Feldman and Billionaire partner Alki David insist it’s not a publicity stunt and they are shelling out the big bucks for what could be the biggest celebrity boxing match– ever!
The duo is offering $9 million to the winner and $1 million going to the loser… either way it seems like a win-win scenario to us.
If that is not enough to get the boys in the ring, well, we don’t know what is… besides the proceeds going to charity (remember the one for abused women?)
We think with such a staggering sum on the table, Drake and Brown would be crazy to turn the invitation down…. or just plain scared!
Let’s start a petition and make this happen!
