TBS (Turner Broadcasting System) will air a Street Fighter V Tournament featuring NBA star Shaquille O’Neal, NFL star Reggie Bush, WWE diva sensation Natalie Eva Marie, and Grammy Award winner Lupe Fiasco – who actually beat Street Fighter Legend Daigo Umehara in an exhibition match last year before the release of Street Fighter V.
The Dets:
All contestants will be competing to win a share of $45,000 with a majority of the funds going to the winner’s charity of their choice. The remaining pot will be split among the remaining charities the other players choose to support.
