What the actual fuck... I watched a lot of the live trial of Zimmerman as it was shown on Mexican TV all day whilst I was there last year. The legal system failed (in my opinion), this fight just seems weird.
Update:TMZ reports that DMX is still negotiating a contract, so the fight isn't 100% official yet.Yes, this is real. George Zimmerman, the man acquitted of killing Trayvon Martin, has signed a contract with celebrity boxing match promotor Damon Feldman. And Feldman has delivered on his reputation for head-spinning matchups (see: Tonya Harding vs. a waitress) by selecting DMX as Zimmerman's opponent, TMZ reports. To break it down further: George Zimmerman will fight DMX.
As you can imagine, the list of people willing to fight Zimmerman was long. Among the 15,000 candidates was the rapper Game, who told TMZ: "I would not be boxing for me... I'd be boxing for the legacy of Trayvon Martin and his family." DMX also told TMZ that he wants to fight on behalf of "every black person who has been done wrong in the system...I am going to beat the living fuck out of him. I am breaking every rule in boxing to make sure I fuck him up right." He also threatened to piss on Zimmerman's face.
Details of the fight, which takes place on March 1, will be announced during a news conference next Wednesday.
