From TMZ (documents inside) DMX wants to get into the boxing ring and prove to everyone that he's still a tough guy, but there was a serious catch -- he'll only do it if the promoters can somehow MAKE the other guy lose ... anyone smell a fix?! It's all over an upcoming celebrity fight in Alabama -- X signed on to fight some wannabe actor named Eric Martinez. But after he agreed to a 3-round fight, DMX had a few demands ... X's manager, Nakia Walker, submitted an addendum to the rapper's original contract for the fight, stipulating: "Event Promoter and Management agree that is scheduled to win Boxing Challenge." Walker also added a line which read, "All parties agree this event has been scheduled to occur only in fun and that the artist involved is not a professional boxer." The fight promoters, Thunder Promotions, refused to sign the addendum -- claiming they never agreed to fix anything. Now, DMX is threatening to back out and the promoters are looking for someone to replace the rapper while they also prepare a lawsuit for breach of contract. DMX's rep tells us the rapper really does want to fight -- rigged or not -- but she's forcing his hand because "he's a hip hop artist, not a boxer." First the dumb **** signs for an MMA fight. Then the dumb asshole finally realized what MMA is and changes it to a Boxing match. Now he wants to fix the fight? Get the **** out of here you ****ing idiot!! Go bother Gary Shaw with that shit!!

This is actually on a real MMA card, not some celebrity boxing bs! and yes DMX was the truth AT HIp HOP....First 2 albums are hot shit. First of all, the DMX match is a Boxing Match. Second, if you asked around for two minutes you'd know that no true MMA fan likes Alabama because stupid shit like this card really doesn't matter. Even if it did, there's no commission involvement from that state. This is not a real MMA card. It is a freak show event built to make the promoter, not the fighters, not the schools, money. If this was a real card, none of the shit going on as the main event would really happen. http://www.thunderpromotions.com/images/poster.jpg If you care to watch a real event... http://www.yorkblog.com/mma/uwc7-events.jpg Check this out free on Sherdog.com tomorrow.
