Didn’t know where to put this but since it’s entertainment and TMZ, Cafe Society seems right. Get your popcorn ready…
Now’s your chance to kick** George Zimmerman**'s ass with zero legal repercussions – he just agreed to a celebrity boxing match … and he says he’ll fight ANYONE … even black people.
Celebrity boxing promoter Damon Feldman threw down the challenge, offering George money to step in the ring. Now here’s the kicker … the opponent has NOT been selected.
This has to be what the wrestling business would call a “work”. Zimmerman is channeling Andy Kaufman with his race baiting promo. Any actual “fight” is probably going to be booked like Jerry Lawler v Andy Kaufman in Memphis. Lots of talk to get the crowd hot, then one punch and Zimmerman looks at the lights for a ten count.
That said, I smell money. This thing could draw a decent buyrate on PPV.
The guy’s main claim to fame is that he killed someone. Whether it’s in self-defense or straight-up murder, it’s a horrible tragedy that ended one life and screwed up another. Such a thing should not be someone’s ticket to getting more money in one evening than an honest person could make in a year. Whatever you think of Zimmerman, he shouldn’t be rewarded for killing someone. I’m disgusted that people actually want to view this. It’s pretty much the same as wanting to watch prisoners shiv one another for money.
Someone should have told Joanie Laurer that her fight with Buttafuco wasn’t a work. Her performance there was just shameful, letting a fat out of shape dude knock her around like that.
