The shady promoter behind the fight that pitted acquitted killer George Zimmerman against DMX announced that the boxing match is off earlier today.
On his Twitter.com page, Damon Feldman tweeted that he would pass up the “big opportunity” because there is “more to life than money.” In a response to a Twitter follower, Feldman said he stood to earn as much as $2 million in proceeds from the bout.
In reality, sources say Feldman was unable to round up any corporate sponsorship to make the boxing match happen.
Last year, Zimmerman was acquitted of gunning down 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in cold blood inside a gated community in Sanford, Florida in February 2012.
