Brandon Marshall offers heckler $25,000 to fight

By Sun-Times staff

The 2014 Chicago Bears season has gone from awful to downright bizarre after wide receiver Brandon Marshall offered a heckler $25,000 to get into a boxing ring and fight him.

Marshall got a message on instagram from a Lions fan named Anthony G. Kalla, an internet troll who bashed the Bears’ season and insulted Marshall’s mother.

Marshall initially offered the guy $5,000 to step into a boxing ring and fight.

@AnthonyGKalla: @BMarshall idk if you saw this on ig but here's a reminder http://t.co/GYT7hj3mWe

I give you 5k to get in a ring with me.

The two had a back and forth while Marshall increased his offer to $25,000.

If I lose I'll give you another 10k. If I win you have to serve a 100 hours at an orphanage.

Deal?

"@AnthonyGKalla: @BMarshall that's it? Cmon brandy make it 25 and we can do it in Detroit"

And you have to apologize to my mom.

@AnthonyGKalla

Deal or no deal bro? This is your chance to back up your talk and make 25k.

It seems like Kalla is backing off at this point. He has not addressed Marshall’s offer and has since protected his account.

One thing is clear: Don’t insult Brandon Marshall’s mom.
