Meet This Guy, who decided to write some mean things to Brandon Marshall on Instagram:

Oddly, This Guy wasn't satisfied just being mean on Marshall's Instagram page, where Marshall hasn't posted for two months. So he wrote to Marshall on Twitter, where he's more active, seemingly to draw attention to the mean things on Instagram. It worked, but came with a consequence:
@AnthonyGKalla: @BMarshall idk if you saw this on ig but here's a reminder http://t.co/GYT7hj3mWe I give you 5k to get in a ring with me.

Yes, Brandon Marshall wanted to fight him. And was willing to pay $5,000 to do so. Marshall quickly upped the ante:
@AnthonyGKalla If I lose I'll give you another 10k. If I win you have to serve a 100 hours at an orphanage. Deal?

Except This Guy wanted to raise the stakes even higher:
"@AnthonyGKalla: @BMarshall that's it? Cmon brandy make it 25 and we can do it in Detroit" 25 it is. Ha! You thought i wouldn't say yes.

"@AnthonyGKalla: @BMarshall that's it? Cmon brandy make it 25 and we can do it in Detroit" And you have to apologize to my mom.

We'd love to tell you if This Guy responded, but he made his account private, meaning we can't see any of his tweets. Presumably Marshall can't either, so we imagine the fight is off.
That's right. This guy really wanted to say mean things to athletes, but then the athlete actually saw it, and then he had to go hide.
Was it professional for Marshall to challenge some fan to a fight for money? No! Of course not! That said, this should serve as a lesson. Don't say horrendous things to pro athletes. They might see it. And if they do, you will probably be made to look like a bad person/coward, and those are not good things to look like.
UPDATE
Mr. This Guy has now unhidden his profile:

So, This Guy appears to have his heart set on fighting a 6'4, 230-pound professional athlete. We'll see how that pans out. It should also be noted that This Guy is extremely proud of getting his 15 minutes of fame from calling somebody's mom a whore on the Internet.
