The George Zimmerman - DMX Boxing Match Has Been Cancelled

Promoter Damon Feldman said on Twitter that the match, which generated a public outcry this week, was called off because there's "more to life then money."


The celebrity boxing match between rapper DMX and former Florida neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman has been called off, entertainment news website TMZ said on Saturday.

Promoter Damon Feldman said on Twitter that the three-round match, which generated a public outcry this week, was called off because there's "more to life then money," TMZ said.

The potential match was set for March 1, which would have been the 19th birthday of Trayvon Martin, who was killed in 2012 by Zimmerman. It would have pitted Zimmerman, who was found not guilty in the shooting death of the unarmed black teenager, against the trash-talking musician with a history of arrests, most of them drug or driving offenses.

Martin's shooting and Zimmerman's self-defense claim polarized the nation on issues of racial justice, stand your ground laws and gun control.

people up. Of course, he carried a gun in case his punches weren't working for him, not unlike a lot of toters.
