Whether you believe in George Zimmerman's guilt or not, I do not think that any person should profit off of the death of a person or the long-lasting racial tensions in America. If this fight occurs, it will only prove that America has not progressed as much as people would like to promote. If this fight occurs, it will speak volumes on the character and morals of the American people. If this fight occurs, it will be a lose/lose situation for everyone. Are we not that far removed from the days of racially motivated pugilism? If this fight occurs, the answer will be a loud and embarrassing, "Yes!"


We, the American people, need to stop allowing people to profit off of our emotions. Yes, many citizens are still angered by the verdict of the George Zimmerman trial. But, even if he loses the fight, he still gains the one thing he loves most; your attention. Even if he loses the fight, a life was still taken that can't be given back. Even if he loses the fight, there will be no feelings of vengeance or retribution or just. I ask you to not grantGeorge Zimmermana platform to gain more publicity, possibly more fans and more money. If George Zimmerman fights, America loses!

PLEASE SIGN THE CHANGE.ORG PETITION AS WELL! THEY ARE CLOSE TO 100,000 SIGNATURES AND NEED OUR HELP! https://www.change.org/petitions/damon-feldman-stop-the-george-zimmerman-celebrity-boxing-match

This is ridiculous and we should not support this. It diminishes the value of Trayvon Martins life.

George Zimmerman is not a celebrity I think this boxing match is a big slap in the face to his parents. If they wanted to be this ass do it for free don't broadcasted this like it's some type of charity event

If this celebrity fight occurs, all proceeds should be forfeited to the Martin family because even though he was acquitted on crimminal charges this racist piece of dog crap is still responsible for the death of Travon Martin.

When the judicial system can not do its job properly... the the people who created the judicial system must do their job for them - properly
