Damon Feldman, the CEO of the Hollywood Boxing Federation, said his organization has made a $1 million offer to boxing/silver screen icon Sylvester Stallone to referee the Hollywood Brawl, a celebrity boxing match pitting A-listers Will Smith (Ali) and Mark Wahlberg (The Fighter) against one another.
“I think he would be the perfect candidate and this would be the icing on the cake,” Feldman said of the Rocky legend, adding the undercard would also be lined up with celebrity boxing matches.
Feldman said he's hoping to raise $3 million for charity if Smith, Wahlberg and Stallone agree to do the event.
The offer is for them to do three one-minute rounds with 24 oz. gloves, headgear and a mouthpiece, according to Feldman, who said he's aiming for the event to take place in Las Vegas on Saturday February 26, 2011.
