Antonio Brown isn’t in the NFL anymore and still finds ways to be in the headlines.
The New York Post is reporting DAZN has signed Youtuber Logan Paul to a $1 million deal for a fight with Brown, who has yet to accept but has been working out with a boxing trainer. Brown and Paul have feuded with each other over social media.
If Brown agrees to what sources said is an offer in excess of $1 million and maybe multiple millions plus incentives, then DAZN hopes to schedule the fight for April in Las Vegas around the same time as the NFL Draft.
“This would be the biggest fight of 2020,” Paul, who has 20 million YouTube subscribers, told The Post in a statement through DAZN. “I’m ready to sign my contract and punch Antonio Brown in the face on behalf of his baby mama. Right now, we’re waiting on him, but I’m not sure if he actually wants to fight or if he’s teasing it for clout.”
Brown’s troubling behavior has forced the hand of his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, who is no stranger to controversial clients.
Still, it says volumes when you realize Rosenhaus has seen enough — for now — of the wide receiver and his antics.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports Rosenhaus is conditionally cutting ties with the free agent.
Of course, Rosenhaus has put stipulations on his exit and is making sure the door is open enough for him to keep Brown as a client if he can get his life together.
