"This was the wrong person to put in the ring and define celebrity boxing thank you," he said. "I walked away from half a million dollar payday with this fight but to be honest I'd rather be happy and make people happy thank you."
He continued to express that he wanted nothing to do with the fight and apologized for it, saying:
"I wasn't being disrespected to anyone I had a plan here with this fight I'll let you know soon hope everyone is happy I'm very sorry," he tweeted. "I want to thank everyone for the good n bad comments I've made the choice to cancel the fight w George Zimmermann more to life then money."
Well, this certainly seems to be a rather sudden change of heart. Perhaps the (understandable) backlash for the event proved to be too much a burden, even considering the money to be made here.
Nevertheless, many who found the very idea of the match morally offensive - making a spectacle out of a very serious, very upsetting issue for profit - will rest a little easier knowing that the match will no longer take place.
its quite obvious the match would be canceled, some one who killed for any reason is not meant to be placed in the celebrity category. However i bet DMX would have beaten the hell out of Zimmerman....lol
Do you regret not being able to see DMX in the ring with George Zimmerman?
