Boxing promoter offers Chris Brown and Drake $1 million to duke it out

Would you pay the big bucks to see Chris Brown and Drake beat the crap out of each other in a boxing ring? You may just get the chance.

After the two rappers/pop stars/whiny babies allegedly started a brawl at a New York City nightclub two weeks ago over who really deserves Rihanna’s lovin’, a celebrity boxing promoter is offering Brown and Drake $1 million each to settle their beef, CNN reports.

David told CNN that he would like Rihanna to be the ring girl, but knows that the chance of that happening is slim to none.

Elusive wealthy businessman Alki David is backing the hypothetical boxing match, and pledges to donate $1 million to a charity that benefits battered women, which would be a very nice thing to come out of this silly, nasty little story.

To recap: The fight allegedly started when Brown tried to extend an olive branch to Drake to settle an ongoing feud over the pair’s mutual ex-girlfriend, Rihanna, by sending a bottle of high-priced Champagne to his table at the swanky club W.i.P.

Drake’s entourage didn’t take kindly to the gesture, and sent the bottle back with a really mean note about how Drake is giving Brown’s ex-girlfriend “the time,” as Holden Caulfield would say.

A fight broke out, and Brown sustained what appeared to be a minor scrape on his chin. Drake’s camp denies the incident. San Antonio Spurs point-guard Tony Parker might not play in the Olympics because a shard of glass went into his eye during the fight and is suing the club for $20 million, and several women present have lawyered up, claiming to have sustained injuries during the fight.

W.i.P. had its liquor license suspended (because of the alleged Brown-Drake incident, and a string of similar incidents earlier this year), which is bad for business since nobody wants to go to a liquor-less club.

Chris Brown, Drake — you have been summoned to settle the score for a very large sum of money. Please do it for the sake of your fans, and the people who hate your guts alike.

You only live once, that’s the motto — right, Drake?
