When Will Smith and Mark Wahlberg Were Offered $1M to Fight Each Other

Will Smith and Mark Wahlberg were once asked to throw punches at each other.
Both the stars have had an amazing rise to fame in the industry due to their
comedic roles. Smith, in1990, with his series Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and four
years later, Mark with the movie Renaissance Man (1994). Although they were
widely loved for their humorous side, their ultimate rise was a result of
action-packed films. To transform from funny roles to heroic ones required them
to hit the gym and buff up.

The formula worked and Will [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith] and Mark
started fighting villains in movies like Men in Black and Max Payne,
respectively. Today, both are multi-millionaires and A-listers in the
competitive Hollywood industry. Looking at their popularity, if it had come
true, it would have been the biggest celebrity fight since Ricky Gervais took on
Grant Bovey. This is why the Hollywood Boxing Federation came up with a proposal
for the two.


WILL SMITH AND MARK WAHLBERG WERE TO HAVE A FACE-OFF IN THE BOXING RING

The idea of seeing Will and Mark Wahlberg
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-mark-wahlberg/] throw punches at each
other in a huge Las Vegas ring sounds exciting. That is the exact thing Damon
Feldman, CEO of Hollywood Boxing Federation, had in mind. According to a source
[https://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/dec/21/mark-wahlberg-will-smith-boxing],
the money offered was $1 million, which may seem astronomical to the common man.
But the amount is just a fraction of the wealth that these actors have amassed
by getting paid in multiples. Knowing the case, Damon was counting on the
actors’ generosity by letting them forward the money to the charities of their
choice.

actor is 6.2 ft tall while the Ted lead is 5.9 ft, with Will being a couple of
years elder than Mark. Smith bulked up and skillfully portrayed the role of
legendary boxer Muhammad Ali in the movie Ali. On the other hand, Wahlberg
trained to tell the story of boxer ‘Irish’ Micky Ward in the movie The Fighter.
