(Newser) – At least 1,223 people want to see Chris Brown get in another fight, and a Los Angeles martial arts expert is one of them, Fox News reports. Anthony Geisler, president of LA Boxing, started a Facebook group called "I want to fight Chris Brown" that invites the singer to step into the ring and "see what it’s like to face a real opponent"—namely, Geisler. So far, 1,222 others have joined.

Meanwhile, Rihanna is enjoying a vengeance of sorts: Sales of her 2007 album saw a 33% boost while Brown’s sales continue to be sluggish, E! reports. Rihanna is no longer in Barbados, where she had retreated after the Feb. 8 incident, according to a source—but wherever she is now, she’s continuing to lay low, and has no scheduled public appearances.

What I find hilarious is that everyone is making Rihanna out to be a Saint. The press release stated she attacked him in the vehicle after a he received a message, and though he should have departed the vehicle when she struck him vice returning his blows, you can't make it out as if she is a victim. Fact of the matter, if this had been treated like a normal domestic both parties would have been arrested

I would like to see him go up against Butterbean...That dude would show him how it feels to be beat like a biotche....I hope She isn't foolish enough to go back to him
