A businessman in China is offering bags of air from World Cup stadiums for $6.25.

Lie Jie tells the Beijing Daily Messenger he is the chief executive of the Lunar Embassy to China, which is selling his "World Cup air."

He says, "The air was packed at the World Cup venues while the workers were cutting the grass before matches... You can still smell the grass."

Li says football fans can hang the plastic bags around their necks and breathe the air as they watch World Cup games on television.

He says, "Whichever stadium you like, I can give you its air."

Previously, Li tried to sell land on the moon, but his scheme was halted by the government. China's rules against speculation and profiteering may also apply to Li's current business venture.

Li says, "My 'World Cup air' is for the soccer fans... It is a kind of sporting product."

Chinese officials say they are investigating the company.
