CANCELLED! Promoter NIXES Controversial Zimmerman VS. DMX ‘Celebrity Boxing Match’

Hold off on your boycotts, petitions and Twitter outrage.  Because the promoter of that tacky "Celebrity Boxing Match" between George Zimmerman and DMX has just cancelled it….

Boxing promoter Damon Feldman just told the world that he has cancelled that horrible idea of a boxing match between George Zimmerman and rapper DMX. He tweeted this evening:

All you people are right

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

— Damon Feldman (@hollywoodbox11) February 8, 2014

He also posted the below tweets, according to Deadspin, but it appears he has deleted them:

The George Zimmerman fight is canceled I’m sorry for anyone I hurt with this but this was a very big opportunity thank you

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 I walked away from av [sic] million dollar payday with this fight but to be honest I’d rather be happy and make people happy thank you

Reportedly, this Feldman guy likes to put on "celebrity boxing matches" that he reporteldy says are on the level of the WWE…so take that how you want.  It’s very possible he got out of this exactly what he may have wanted: attention.
