Terms for DMX vs. George Zimmerman

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/george-zimmerman-dmx-fight-celebrity-boxing-match-article-1.1602895

George Zimmerman should not be allowed to keep a penny of profit from this fight.

Zimmerman's likely to milk the publicity for all it's worth and will depend upon cable subscribers to pay to see this "event".

The contract should explicitly deny Zimmerman any monies from broadcasting. Fight for the sake of a fight.

I know, won't happen.

In January, Zimmerman said publicly he would take on anyone in a celebrity bout, and that he has been training for months.

“I am going to beat the living f--- out of him,” DMX boasted, according to TMZ. “I am breaking every rule in boxing to make sure I f--- him right up.

best thing that could happen would be for no one to attend/view this stunt, thus denying DMX any profits.

This is a stupid idea and no one should watch it, i hope it doesn't raise a dime but knowing the public it probable will.
