A nauseating boxing match between Trayvon Martin’s killer and a cash-strapped rapper is going down for the count.Celebrity boxing promoter Damon Feldman announced on Twitter Saturday he canceled a controversial fight between George Zimmerman and DMX. “It was my decision to cancel the george zimmerman fight it was worth a lot of money to me but people’s feelings meant more to me,” Feldman tweeted.
The appalling match, which would have profited from the death of 17-year-old Martin, was originally slated for March 1. Both fighters could use the cash. Zimmerman, 30, who was acquitted of the second-degree murder in 2013, is said to be overwhelmed by legal bills. DMX filed for bankruptcy in July. “I walked away from (a) million dollar payday with this fight but to be honest I’d rather be happy and make people happy thank you,” Feldman tweeted.

Who’s idea was this anyway? This is a different spin., if it was George Zimmerman, maybe he thought if he got beat up by a Black Man it would some how relieve him of a guilty conscience. Maybe DMX wanted a good excuse to beat the hell out of George legally and get paid while doing it. I think a lot of people wanted to see that until we realized we would have to pay for it and the wrong person might capitalize off it.
