Will Smith and Mark Wahlberg Offered $1M To Fight Each Other

For those who are tired of looking at Floyd Mayweather's mugshots, there may be something worth looking forward to in the sport of boxing.

Mark Wahlberg (pictured right) and Will Smith (pictured left) are being offered $1 million each to fight each other in a celebrity boxing match on February 26, 2011, in Las Vegas, according to RadarOnline.
The Hollywood Boxing Federation will be putting the offer out to them both on Monday. Jose Canseco, Rodney King (really?) and Danny Bonaduce have previously fought in celebrity boxing matches.

Unlike celebrities that play in the basketball league, these celebrity boxing matches are for charity - not just to draw fans to a fledgling league.

Really, though, a fight between Smith and Wahlberg may be a really good fight - even if they will only be fighting 3 one-minute rounds (apparently no one wants to mar their movie star faces).

They have both trained professionally for fight movies. Wahlberg is currently starring in "The Fighter" and Smith headlined "Ali."

Maybe one of them will eventually fight Pacquiao, since Mayweather won't be fighting him anytime soon.
