IS THE BOXING MATCH BEWTWEEN SOULJA BOY AND CHRIS BROWN ON OR OFF?
buzzz worthy. . .
The fight between Souljah Boy and Chris Brown may be up in the air.
The two entertainers decided to take their internet beef over a woman (Brown's ex, actress Karrueche Tran) to the ring and were to be coached by Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson. The feud started when Soulja, 26 liked a photo Tran posted on Instagram. Soulja claims Brown called him threatening bodily harms. In a series of tweets the "Crank That" artist invited Brown to settle his issues in a fist fight. As the beef got more intense, Brown, 27 challenged Soulja to a 3-round boxing match. They had been bantering with name calling and threats of violence since, until Soulja apologized for his behavior, saying his mother had an illness that was a wake up call for him.
Mike Tyson dropped a track called "It's Going Down" with a verse that says he is going to teach his trainee Brown how to knock Soulja Boy out.
Mayweather said he got involved to promote the fight as a celeb boxing match for charity. with a message of "gloves over guns." Rapper and businessman 50 Cents is also involved in promoting the match. He released a flyer online with the hash tag #thefightsstillon. Yet, it appears the plans are not confirmed based on various conflicting reports. It's obvious the promoters really want to see their plans come together so the world can watch two grown men try to smack each other down "for a good cause."
All the hype over the match has fizzled a bit because the amateurs are not likely to be able to satisfy Las Vegas regulations to actually box there. One rule is a mandatory drug test, which the two known marijuana lovers would not be expected to pass. SOme outlets are reporting the fight may go in in Dubai. (One would think that Mayweather and Tyson would have known about the regulations with all the experience they have collectively.) Besides if Mayweather does not see dollar signs he is just as good as out of the picture as far as the two would-be boxers are concerend.
That does not mean "Money Mayweather" is not taking advantage of the buzz and already promoting his next potential match with UFC Champ Conor McGregor. Mayweather has offered McGregor $15 million to fight and a cut of the Pay Per View purse. McGregor wants $100 million to participate in the cross over bout.
Let's hope the amateurs leave the fighting to the pros before someone gets seriously hurt.
