The organizer is self-described opportunist Damon Feldman
He says he picked DMX from more than 15,000 offers

(CNN) -- Let's get ready to ... mumble.

As in, what now, George Zimmerman?

Seems like the former neighborhood watchman has found yet another way to remain in the public limelight.

This time, he'll be stepping into a boxing ring to fight rapper DMX.

Zimmerman said the celebrity boxing match was his idea. Boxing was his hobby, he told Radar Online last month, even prior to the "incident."

The incident, of course, is the February 2012 encounter in which he shot dead an unarmed Trayvon Martin, 17. He stood trial for murder, but was acquitted.

"Prior to the incident, I was actually going to the gym for weight loss and doing boxing-type training for weight loss," he told Radar.

"A mutual friend put me in contact with Damon and provided me with an opportunity and motivation to get back in shape and continue with my weight loss goals and also be able to help a charity out."

Damon is Damon Feldman, owner of Celebrity Boxing and self-described opportunist, whose claim to fame is putting together bizarre matchups. Think Tonya Harding, Michael Lohan.

He said last week that he was accepting offers for someone to step into the ring for a three-round, pay-per-view fight with Zimmerman.

"The news has been out for an hour and my e-mail is overloaded with 8,000 people wanting to fight George," Feldman told CNN on Thursday.

Early Wednesday morning, he said he's picked the contender. Out of more than 15,000 e-mailed requests, he's going with DMX.

"The match will be one of the Biggest Celebrity Boxing matches of all time," his news release said (uppercase emphasis his).

But in order to find out where and when it will take place, we'll have to wait until next week.

DMX, as we know is a rapper, and braggadocio is his calling card.

He's out for blood, he told TMZ. Not only will he break every rule in boxing, he said, he'll "beat the living (expletive)" out of Zimmerman.

Ian Karmel, a writer for "Chelsea Lately," has a better idea.

"They should send Floyd Mayweather to the ring and tell George Zimmerman it's DMX," he tweeted. "He won't know the difference."

God I hope Zimmerman wins for massive public trolling.

DMX lives 'round these parts and is always getting busted for DUI/driving without a license etc. He'll probably be in jail at the time of the scheduled bout.

who gives a shit

[Bread Regal]

this is a guy who is exploiting the fame he gained from murdering an unarmed black childs so he can pay the lawyers that got him off the hook.

fuck this fatheaded piece of worthless garbage.

[Banana]

The man's gotta feed his family. He didn't murder anyone, he protected himself in self defense.

[hnibos]

Nah, it was murder.

[Order 66]

it was patriotism

[pavementtune]

Can't find the article right now... something on how all fights this celebrity match organiser sets up are fake, entertainment only.
So basically if you do this pay-per-view thing you are paying to see racial entertainment - besides helping Zimmerman earning some more money. Guess Martin's family won't find it very funny.

[killtrocity]

that's extremely disappointing

[killtrocity]

here's a better fight

[The Omega Concern]

the charade continues.


every media report about this guy since his acquittal has been staged for the purpose of keeping this race war meme going. PTB have too much invested in it to just let it go...


If he fights a black guy who climbs into the ring with a hoodie, America will be officially be dead.

From the promoter:

Damon Feldman:
I want to thank everyone for the good n bad comments I've made the choice to cancel the fight w George Zimmermann more to life then money

[Order 66]

more to life then money

[slunken]

kind of makes you think

[killtrocity]

Apparently it's legal for white men to hunt black teens in Florida now, just need a license

[Order 66]

as it should be

[The Omega Concern]

The promoter said the fight is now off because he was getting a lot of flak about it, but then said he will make his final final decision on the match at his next public announcement.


he pulled a billy...

[Banana]

He better not puss out of this and still do the figh.t

[Trotskilicious]

yeah don't be a pussy; profit off of misery and LCD spectacle, the bananas of the world demand it

[Banana]

The national media in this country has no issue doing that.

[Trotskilicious]

oh right you're the guy who thought this was no big deal

[Shallowed]

So if the bot's ad actually turns out to be relative to us as the audience, do we drink?

[slunken]

More importantly what is Repbutt
