The former Steelers star hasn\u2019t been subtle in his attempts to goad Paul into a high-profile fight, telling him to \u201csquare up\u201d in a Twitter callout, and suggesting he\u2019d \u201cf**k up\u201d the YouTube star during an interview on Barstool Sports\u2019 KFC Radio. Now Brown, whose stint with the New England superteam lasted just 11 days before he was cut due to sexual assault allegations, has turned to a career in rap under the moniker \u201cAB,\u201d and is gunning for six rounds in the ring with Paul. Brown\u2019s salvo aimed to Paul on Monday, which saw the YouTube star respond that he would \u201cdrop [AB] faster than the Patriots,\u201d seemed to be the only time the two would clash. It seems, however, the NFL star\u2019s callout was dead serious. \u201cHe was calling me out for a couple of months, and he said he wanted to fight me\u2026 that he\u2019s down to fight,\u201d Brown told Complex after the release of his new rap single \u201cWhole Lotta Money,\u201d which he\u2019s been spruiking for the past few weeks. \u201cYeah, if he really want to do it\u2026 if old Logan want to come, see if he wants to get a little rumble on. I\u2019ve been hearing him talk about it a lot. Get that paper right so I can get out to Vegas and get in my zone.\u201d While there\u2019s plenty that believe Brown wouldn\u2019t stand a chance against the YouTuber in a one-on-one duel in the ring \u2014 Odds Shark even opened the betting at Paul -2000, Brown +1000 \u2014 the All-Pro wide receiver is oozing with confidence. That confidence comes, in part, from the fact Logan Paul is now 0\u20132 against fellow internet star Olajide \u2018KSI\u2019 Olatunji. After losing in a semi-pro bout in 2018, the American fell to a second defeat by decision at the Staples Centre in November. \u201cYeah, he got beat man, he\u2019s just been taking Ls all over,\u201d Brown added when discussing their potential 2020 showdown, but added that he was impressed by his marketing expertise. \u201cHe made a good pop though, made a lot of money.\u201d That\u2019s a sentiment AB has stuck to when discussing the man he wants to touch gloves with sometime this year: he\u2019s a \u201cbig fan,\u201d and has a lot of respect for Paul. \u201cIt seems like Logan is a boxer for real, he\u2019s a cool guy,\u201d Brown said. \u201cCame to my house a couple years ago at the Superbowl. He\u2019s promoting his craft and his brand, so it would be an honor if I could hook up with him. I think it would be pretty fun.\u201d Of course, no matter what level of respect the NFL star has for Paul, he still wants to lay him out if the two do eventually meet in a bout that could \u201cbreak the internet.\u201d Apparently, he\u2019s so serious about delivering the YouTuber his second pro boxing loss, he\u2019s already enlisted the help of 50\u20130 undefeated superstar Floyd Mayweather. Now all that needs to happen is for Paul to pull the trigger. \u201cYeah, I\u2019m going to be out in Vegas, and if Logan confirms, if he\u2019s serious about it, I\u2019ll be working with Floyd,\u201d Brown confirmed. \u201cI don\u2019t want him [Paul] to be writing checks you can\u2019t cash, you know. Paul, you\u2019re coming after me for a couple of months, so I finally hit him up like, \u201cHey man, I\u2019ve seen this too much.\u201d He must really want to make this happen.\u201d It looks like the wheels could be in motion for the major high-profile fight too, after Paul\u2019s lieutenant Mike Majlak leaked a conversation between the two that suggested they were preparing to approach Maddison Square Garden for the bout. \ud83d\uddfd\ud83d\ude80 @LoganPaul @AB84 @TheGarden \ud83e\udd2f\ud83e\udd2f pic.twitter.com\/q8KsKTOWoi \u2014 Mike Majlak (@mikemajlak) January 8, 2020 Whether or not Brown and Paul do eventually step into the ring, it looks like there could be a few months of speculation and build-up ahead of the title fight before it\u2019s eventually decided, with both sides happy to let it play out across the internet. Now, the only question is who wins \u2014 the YouTuber who trained as a boxer for the past year, or a four-time All-Pro star with a decade of NFL experience under his belt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Antonio Brown tells Logan Paul to \u201cget the papers\u201d for boxing showdown Antonio Brown has issued a direct challenge to Logan Paul regarding their potential boxing showdown, ordering the YouTube entertainer to \u201cget the papers\u201d after the stars publicly locked horns on social media earlier this week.
