CALL ME CRAZY for entertaining the thought but, I would love to see Celebs duke it out again like how they use to in "Celebrity Boxing" with volunteers such as vanilla ice, todd bridges, Screech (from save by the bell) or even Tonya Harding. If there's 1 thing Boxing or even MMA could learn from wrestling entertainment is that Hollywood being involved in there events (and i'm not just talking about them being seated in the audience waving at camaras) would bring even better numbers and a much broader audience. I believe every once in a blue moon at a Superfight, there should at-lease be an under card slotted for 2 of Hollywoods "bad boys/girls" to slug it out for charity or some sort. For instance lets say the whole Chris Brown fighting Drake for a million going to charity (though that rumor has been denounce), wouldn't that fight alone generate alot of interest from fans around the world who know them both. If you wanna talk about what that would do for the sport from a business perspective, then you would be talking about 1 event making a whole lotta fetti. Shows like Celebrity Deathmatch (though animated fiction) became famous off entertaining that idea. Even wrestling entertainment saw how there ratings would jump by adding hollywood star power in to the mix. Just imagine on the undercard of Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao the first carded fight via ppv be Denzel Washington vs. Cuba Gooding jr. (lol). Off the strength of how crazy it actually sounds would probably make you want to watch it.

Let Me hear you guys opinon on this if it makes sense to you or not.

No Drake vs Chris Brown, please! I dont want to see two guys fight over the ran-through pussy of some feeble-minded island chick. All we'll see is a couple of decent punches thrown, then they'll commence to hugging like John Ruiz.

Boxing is trying to stand on it's flimsy leg as it is, no need for the shenanigans. The pot for this "fight" is already in the neighborhood of $9M, which is way more than undercard fighters make, and hell, sometimes the main event fighters on a PPV dont even make that much combined. The fact that this fight is actually being seriously discussed amongst the boxing business, poses as a pending nightmare on my behalf. Sheesh, the thought...

Anyway, since we're talking about celebrities in sports...anybody remember this shit? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
