Antonio Brown hits back at Logan Paul after first \u201clow\u201d fight offer Antonio Brown has seemingly rejected the initial fight offer from Logan Paul\u2019s team, and told the YouTube star he would have to \u201ccall back\u201d with a much higher offer if he wants the former NFL star to officially put pen to paper. The former New England Patriots wide receiver has been embroiled in a war of words with the YouTuber since firing off an initial salvo on January 7, and backed up his callout by demanding Paul \u201cget the papers\u201d days later. Well, Paul and his team reacted accordingly, getting together the necessary legal documents, and sending them through to AB. All seemed to be going well for the potential showdown in the ring in 2020, except for a hitch on Brown\u2019s end. \u201cAntonio Brown needs this fight\u201d As soon as he was called out on Twitter, Paul has gone on the offensive \u2013 first, the YouTuber turned boxer suggested he\u2019d \u201cdrop [AB] faster than the Patriots,\u201d before adding he believes his potential ring-rival \u201cneeds this fight now more than ever.\u201d \u201cIn many ways, the KSI fight gave me a purpose,\u201d Paul said, and suggested a similar path to redemption could be on the cards for AB. \u201cI think this would do this for Antonio Brown\u2026 give him a nice payday, give him a chance to redeem himself.\u201d Logan\u2019s latest barb comes after news Brown threw \u201ca bag of d**ks\u201d at police offers following an altercation with his ex-girlfriend Chelsie Kyriss. The phallic objects were lollies, Brown later revealed, but the move has still landed him in hot water. Paul also confirmed the first official offer for the potential six-round throwdown had been sent to the former Steelers star on January 13, and directed a commanding tweet towards Brown with another message: \u201cMake it happen.\u201d Antonio Brown needs this fight now more than ever. i know the official offer was sent to him today, make it happen @AB84 \u2014 Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) January 13, 2020 AB wants to see the big money Unfortunately for all those who want to see the divisive YouTube star and the disgraced NFL wide receiver duke it out in the ring as soon as possible, Brown seemed less than impressed with what Paul\u2019s team had put together. According to the former Steelers star, the fight offer was far lower than what he was initially expecting. Not only was he not interested in signing the papers, Brown took the opportunity to take another jab at his potential opponent. \u201c#s [sic] low,\u201d he posted on Instagram alongside an image of Logan Paul\u2019s January 13 tweet, just hours after his potential YouTube rival had first confirmed a deal had even been put to paper and sent to AB. \u201cCall back when your business boomin\u2019.\u201d https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7R985-hNU1\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link The show is still \u2013 probably \u2013 on the road After Brown\u2019s rapid-fire response regarding the official deal, it looks like the ball is back in Paul\u2019s court, and the fight may be on ice if an arrangement suited to both parties can\u2019t be struck while the feud is hot. Despite the snag in contract negotiations, however, Logan Paul admits he\u2019s \u201cextremely optimistic\u201d the high-profile bout will go ahead. He\u2019s so optimistic, he even revealed on the latest episode of his Impaulsive podcast that he believes it will be the \u201cbiggest fight of 2020,\u201d even over-shadowing the return of MMA legend Conor McGregor and the impending Fury\u2013Wilder duel. \u201cHe may be pushed out, but people know who [Brown] is, and people want to see him win, or get beat up\u2026 just like me, that\u2019s why fights work, that\u2019s why there\u2019s interest in the bouts,\u201d the YouTuber said during Episode 149 of his podcast. Logan isn\u2019t the only Paul with a fight on the horizon right now either \u2013 younger brother Jake is squaring up to battle AnEsonGib on January 30, though it seems both fighters already have their eyes locked on other potential challenges. For now, that impending battle may have to whet the appetite, as LP and AB iron out the nitty-gritty details in what can only be assumed will be a big-money contract to get both American fighters into the ring sometime this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
