So, maybe it won’t be a totally terrible thing if the lockout extends through this week (negotiations resume this morning) and the start of the season gets delayed.
Sideshows await, and there is PPV potential.
Metta World Peace (ne Ron Artest) is looking for some action, on the basketball court and/or in the boxing ring (but not in the octagon).
From the Lakers forward’s Twitter account:
@MettaWorldPeace Metta WorldPeace
I challenge any NBA player to a game. 500k$. Hit me at [email protected] . I’m waiting !!!
@MettaWorldPeace Metta WorldPeace
I will challenge anyone heavyweight over 240 to a boxing fight. Not UFC. Boxing in the ring!! [email protected] Come get your face ko’d!
@MettaWorldPeace Metta WorldPeace
I would fight kimbo slice only in boxing ring. Not UFC and not in a street fight. He beast. In the ring I’m a beast!!
Also, MWP needs to change his email address for internal consistency’s sake. I’m pretty sure he’d also rather be punched in the face repeatedly than suffer cognitive dissonance.
Metta World Peace would rather be punched repeatedly in the face than spend another minute boring minute sitting around at home…
…um…
…not being punched in the face.
