Thousands sign petition to stop George Zimmerman's boxing match

[Baitball Blogger]

On Wednesday, CNN reported that rapper DMX had been chosen as George Zimmerman's opponent in an upcoming celebrity boxing match.

DMX's representative set the record straight Wednesday afternoon by emailing the Orlando Sentinel and several other news outlets saying that although DMX does want to "beat" up Zimmerman, no official paperwork has been signed.

Still, thousands spoke out on Twitter and across the web calling for the fight to be canceled, especially given that the match up was announced on what would have been the 19th birthday of Trayvon Martin, the teen Zimmerman was acquitted of killing last year.

1. The best way to respond to zimmerman is to ignore him

The man is broke and can hold down a job. The best thing that we can do is to ignore this fight and not pay any money

4. You've got that so right.

This place is a warm habitat for con-artists. Zimmerman is just doing what comes natural. If no one bites, he will just disappear.

6. My disgust with the promoters actually exceeds my disgust with Zimmerman

On Trayvon Martin's birthday? Are they serious? That is so low and sleazy. What kind of people have we become? I am ashamed.

Maybe everybody should see GZ get his ass handed to him.
