Promoter Offers Chris Brown And Drake $1 Million Each To Fight by isquar3d3(m): 8:13am On Jun 27, 2012
(CNN) -- A celebrity boxing
promoter is hoping to capitalize
on the alleged nightclub brawl
between singer Chris Brown and
rapper Drake by offering them a
million dollars each to take their
beef to the ring.
The promoter also says he is
asking singer Rihanna to be a
ring girl at the bout -- but
acknowledged she'll likely pass.
Damon Feldman says he has the
financial backing of businessman
Alki David, and that he'll donate a
million to a charity that helps
abused women if the fight takes
place.
The fight, he said, would feature
three minute-long rounds with
the participants donning
oversized gloves and protective
head gear.
Feldman says he has not received
a response from either Drake or
Brown.
And while Drake tweeted about
his dry cleaning -- and Brown
about a helpful stewardess --
neither made mention of the
offer on their Twitter pages.
Meanwhile, police continue their
investigation into the bottle-
throwing melee allegedly
between Drake and Brown and
their entourages that took place
at the New York City club W.i.P on
June 14.
Brown was partying with friends
in the VIP section of the South
Village club, while the Drake and
his friends were nearby,
according to statements from
reps for both artists.
Brown has said he was a victim
in the incident, and Drake's
representatives have said he "did
not engage in any activity which
resulted in injury."
The squabble left Brown with a
nasty gash on his chin and fueled
Internet rumors that it started
because of an argument about
Rihanna, the sizzling, songstress
that both men have dated.
A source close to Brown has
since told CNN that the
confrontation was not about
Rihanna.
San Antonio basketball guard
Tony Parker was also injured in
the scrum.
Parker is suing the nightclub for
$20 million over an eye injury he
claims he suffered that night.
The suit alleges that the owners
and operators of the nightclub
were "negligent in permitting
Drake's entourage and Brown's
entourage to be in the club at the
same time despite known
tension between the two" and
contends the owners failed to
provide "sufficient and efficient
security."
Feldman says he wants the
boxing match to be in either Las
Vegas or Los Angeles.
Despite the fact that Brown is on
probation until 2014 for
pleading guilty to assaulting
Rihanna on the eve of the 2009
Grammy Awards, Feldman says
he has asked Rihanna to be in
the ring carrying a sign that
displays the number of the
upcoming round.
"I'm 99.9% sure she'll say no. But
I can guarantee you, if the fight
happens, she will be watching,"
Feldman said.
Some have already speculated on
who would win a rematch.
Rapper 50 Cent told a California
radio station he thinks Brown's
prowess in dancing would help
him beat Drake.
"I would take Chris," 50 told KMEL
last week. "I guess it's cause of
all the physical things I see him
doing with dancing and moving,
He be slipping and moving. I
don't see Drake doing that. Chris
be having his shirt off. He got
one of them MMA fighter looks.
Like he might have did karate
when he was a kid. He's kicking,
doing splits and stuff. This could
really get interesting."
