According to the Indy Star: "Artest also suggests that he and Ben Wallace box on pay-per-view for $10 million." Source: http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051016/SPORTS04/510160420
Artest's father is a golden glove boxer. He trained a lot when he was a kid - Ben's a beast and all but its a fight he might lose.
I think the papers misquoted Arsetest. I don't think it's Ben Wallace he wants but Mike Wallace. It would be close be he'd stand a much better chance.:D
Don't forget Arsetest already backed off from Ben and then went into the stands to attack that little guy with the beer.
My Dad is good with Cars and I can barely change oil......so I take Ben in 2nd round or a 1st round DQ on Artest for biting Ben's ear off (but Ben Laughs and slams his head like he is bringing down a rebound.
How appropriate for that pu$$y to be in that sleazy Penthouse rag! Fits his personna to a T. Too bad he didn't have the balls to face Ben on the court that night instead of takin' it to the stands vs. a guy probably a foot shorter than him. And...again...RA's focus is publicizing himself, instead of focusing on basketball and his team.
honestly... I don't know who would win, but I know who I'd be pulling for. Ben in 10 because I want him to punish the guy. If Artest is trying to do his best to paint a bad boy image, he is doing a helluva job. Never thought I'd say this, but Rodman should be insulted that Artest compared himself to him. What a nut job!
Public Relations are Us... Whoa there big fella, doesn't seem fair to be knockin poor penthouse just cause Artest is in it...:P I don't care how much boxing training someone has if they haven't got a heart. The cat laid down on the table like a patient wanting open heart surgery. Finding any promoter willing to put up the 10mil would be harder than finding Christian Laettners sense of humor. Artest is dumb like a fox. That comment was actually a savvy public relations move, trying to buy his honor back and throws in the 'for charity' comment for added measure. But he does the whole thing with a price tag so ridiculously high no one will ever pony up. Good stuff. Gotta respect whoever schooled him to say it.
