The DMX vs Zimmerman Promtional Stunt Boxing BS????
It is said that this country will make some moron like Zimmerman believe he has a become a "Celebrity" because he killed an unamed person with gun.

in addition the entire idea of this event is to use racial tensions to lure people in to purchase the event. this will only hurt America as it will continue to stir up racial tensions that have been on going in this nation for quite some time.
No Promoter or Celebrity Boxer should ever be allowed to use racial tension to profit.

That was the last time I supported "Celebrity" boxing

(885 posts)I will admit that the idea of this fight caters to my baser instincts however, I would never do or support anything that gives that man a dime if I have a choice.
My own feelings aside, nothing good can come of this. There is no winning possible for anyone but Zimmerman, as he gets paid win, lose or draw.

(885 posts)He was chosen purposely for this role because of that rep.
*I'd really be surprised if it's not called something like "The Killa vs. The Nigga".

(24,544 posts)Agree 100% with MOrpheus and whoever said that stoking racial resentment to make money is evil and disgusting. Welcome to Post-Racial America!

My only concern is to prevent as many future Trayvons as possible...
Although I do know of some DUers probably trying to buy ringside tickets to cheer on Zimmerman...
