George Zimmerman to fight rapper DMX

Looks like George Zimmerman will be fighting rapper DMX. I don't think this boxing promoter could have found a better competitor for Zimmerman. This should be a real comedy to watch!

No contract has been signed, so don't know if this will happens. Here's a quote:

"Not only will he break every rule in boxing, he said, he'll "beat the living (expletive)" out of Zimmerman."

So why would Zimmerman agree?
