Mayweather Offers $20M Wager to NFL Teams Willing to Sign AB

When Antonio Brown made his dramatic exit from the Buccaneers’ game against the Jets in Week 17 last season, many considered the NFL career of the seven-time Pro Bowler to be done.

However, Brown recently stated he wanted another chance in the league and Hall-of-Fame boxer Floyd Mayweather believes the Super Bowl champion receiver deserves another chance. Mayweather spoke on The Pivot podcast, saying that Brown is “really misunderstood.”

“He just wants to be treated fair,” Mayweather said. “And this is for any team that’s watching right now. We’ll make them a deal: if they sign AB and AB go through the whole season, no problems at all, and then they gotta give us $20 million. But if he mess up, then we’ve gotta give them $20 million. So if any team want to match that, you know, reach out to us.”
