How can you resist? You can't, so set aside this Wednesday night for FOX's special, "Celebrity Boxing" featuring a "Partridge Family" alumnus against one of the "Brady Bunch", Tonya Harding, Queen of the Ice Scandals, vs Paula Jones, member of the Clinton Accuser Posse, and washed up rapper Vanilla Ice vs a Mystery Opponent. And if that's not special enough, Intertops.com is offering odds on all the bouts. Realizing the immense appeal of such match ups, Intertops quickly created several betting options for the online gambler.
In the battle of the former sitcom child stars, The Partridge Family's Danny Bonaduce faces Brady Bunch's Barry Williams with Bonaduce the favorite at 2/5. Williams' chances are currently listed at 7/4. In the match of the scandal queens, the notorious Tonya Harding is the 1/5 favorite with Paula Jones at 3/1. And despite not knowing who Vanilla Ice will fight, Intertops picks the Mystery Opponent to win with odds at 7/20. How embarrassing is that?
Intertops chief bet manager, Michael Marz says he's offering these betting options because the bouts are all legitimate matches and "putting former celebrities in a ring together to trade punches makes for one of the most entertaining specials to ever air on television."
Entertaining indeed. As long as someone checks Tonya Harding's gloves before the match and the referee doesn't let Vanilla Ice dance around too much.
"Celebrity Boxing" airs Wednesday, March 13, at 9pm EST on FOX.
