    Comments Thread For: Boxing, Celebrity, and What the World is Getting Wrong

    By Thomas Gerbasi - From a quick Google search at 10:15am eastern time on Thursday:

    George Zimmerman Boxing – 119,000,000 results
    Floyd Mayweather Boxing – 21,800,000 results

    The best boxer of this era and a future Hall of Famer, Floyd Mayweather Jr., received less search engine results when attached to the word “boxing” than George Zimmerman.

    Must be a glitch, you might say, but that would probably be a wrong assessment, simply because nothing has captivated the masses in recent days like the news that Zimmerman, the man acquitted of second degree murder and manslaughter in the February 26, 2012 slaying of Trayvon Martin, is currently preparing for a Celebrity Boxing match on March 1, with the frontrunner to face him being rapper DMX, though the 43-year-old’s publicist claims that no deal has yet been signed.

    Just a bunch of ****** B.S.
    People just want to see Zimmerman get the crap beaten out of him.
    Most likely DMX will take it too far and Zimmerman will be seriously injured and then he'll sue DMX

      Didn't read the article but I think some people (a lot of people actually) think that Zimmerman is profiting off this. But according to the guy putting it together, every dime Zimmerman was supposed to get is going into charity.

        It is a little bit distasteful, Zimmerman should thank his lucky stars he wasn't convicted and disappear from public view.

        that Zimmerman is more popular than Mayweather is amusing though

            And why would I think it's a glitch again? Maybe if I had some Utopian delusion of the world I live in, but I don't.

              I read somewhere else and listened to an interview where the promoter said both parties would be paid. And I don't trust that charity shyt because it could be a made up charity that supports him.

              Either or this better not happen... Shooting a teenager who was walking home with out bothering him at all. Yeah he will get his soon, from this point on I don't wanna read any news of dude unless it is something tragic.

                DMX is pricing himself out, he's a joke.

                He knows he'll get decked and take another L

                    Can't wait to see this, I see DMX getting KO'ed by the 4th round. George Zimmerman got a chin as Trayvon couldn't knock the man out.
