What Is This World Coming To? As you all may know, for years now people have expressed their animosity with the so called celebrity George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman, is no celebrity in my opinion. While he is no celebrity, he is however, an extreme opportunist, stooping to the lowest of the lowest levels for monetary gain or profit.
Since the murdering of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman has marketed himself and capitalized repeatedly. Since George's bogus acquittal, people have expressed their ugly discontent for him and his barbaric behavior that tragically ended the life of the late Trayvon Martin.
Well now it seems that George had gone way too far with this quote on quote celebrity status. He'd even expressed a desire to fight rapper Kanye West in a boxing match. Yeah right, keep dreaming, however, Rapper DMX had agreed to fight him in a celebrity boxing match.
This match sparked huge controversy, and even led to a formal petition being filed, an as a result the match has been cancelled. I for one am extremely happy to report this.
Yahoo News reported,
The celebrity boxing match between rapper DMX and acquitted Florida killer George Zimmerman has been called off, its promoter said on Saturday after threats were made against him.
The three-round match would have pitted Zimmerman, who was found not guilty in the 2012 shooting death of unarmed, black teenager Trayvon Martin, against the trash-talking musician with a history of arrests, most of them drug or driving offenses. Damon Feldman, who has organized numerous bouts between celebrities, said on Twitter that the Zimmerman-DMX match was off after generating a public outcry this week.
"Done with George Zimmerman if you had a major payday sitting in front of you, I know no one else would walk away like I did ***Next!!," he said in a Tweet.
