A recent report suggests that Brown’s meltdown at MetLife stadium could fetch up to a ridiculous amount up to 7 figures. The NFT is set to up for auction on January 13.
Brown, a celebrity of his caliber, is certain to get some attention as the viral video hits auction with over 11.5 million views alone. A winning bidder could potentially pay in the area of $1.5 Million to own the 1-of-1 piece of NFL history.
The reason behind Brown’s meltdown hasn’t been entirely disclosed, but according to circulating reports. The 33-year-old wide receiver allegedly felt frustrated due to his ankle hurting him, preventing him from playing. Some rumors also suggest that it’s a built-up frustration following not getting enough targets as he approached the incentives of his contract.
