Will Smith and Mark Wahlberg Were Offered $1M To Risk Their Lives in a Boxing Match

Mark Wahlberg and Will Smith were shocked when Hollywood Boxing Federation member Damon Feldman offered them a million dollars to fight in Las Vegas in 2010. The challenge caused some controversy because there were no known personal problems between the two celebrities.

Considering their multimillion-dollar movie earnings, the sum was deemed insignificant. Feldman added, though, that the idea was for them to accept the match for charity, enabling the money to be donated to charities of their choosing, rather than for them to keep the purse.

Feldman stated to RadarOnline.com, “This will be a fantastic chance for both celebrities to compete in the Hollywood boxing Super Bowl and to contribute millions of dollars to their preferred nonprofit organizations.

It would also be a fantastic event. Could you picture?” Feldman, well-known for his celebrity boxing bouts, had previously extended invitations to fight to Danny Bonaduce and Michael Lohan. Smith and Wahlberg were invited because of their boxing roles in well-known movies and their physical appearance.

Despite having different heights and weights, Will Smith and Mark Wahlberg—both well-known for their performances in boxing movies—have similarities. Smith played the role of Muhammad Ali in the film “Ali,” while Wahlberg was Micky Ward in “The Fighter.”

Feldman stressed that the proposed boxing battle would be a fun event rather than a serious bout, and despite the discrepancies in height and weight, the bout was scheduled for three one-minute rounds. The bout was supposed to happen on February 26, 2011, in Las Vegas; however, it never happened, leaving fans to wonder if the two celebrities will ever square off in the ring.
