George Zimmerman, DMX fight back on?
The George Zimmerman/DMX fight that was probably never going to happen in the first place and was recently "cancelled" is now "back on."
Via TMZ:
An online streaming service called FilmOn.com says it secured the rights to a Zimmerman fight ... after the original promoter, Damon Feldman pulled out because of threats made against his kids.
FilmOn says it's gonna give the public what it wants -- blood -- and tells us DMX is out as the challenger because "much bigger names than DMX" want in.
The owner of FilmOn, Alki David, tells TMZ ... the fight will no longer be a celebrity boxing match... "this is going to be like Fight Club ... a very bloody event." Alki says the fight will happen March 15 from a secret location ... and all profits will go to the Trayvon Martin Foundation
Of course, considering the facts that neither party had agreed to the initial fight, that Feldman has a shady history that includes advertising staged fights as real boxing events and that no one seems able to confirm FilmOn's claims, it's best to take this news with a grain of salt.
If someone is offering up "George Zimmerman getting beaten to a bloody pulp with all proceeds benefiting the Trayvon Martin Foundation" outside of the comments section of a particularly heated article, you can almost guarantee it isn't factual.
