" George Zimmerman&amp;#039;s celebrity boxing match against DMX has been called off. Promoter Damon Feldman has had a change of heart over the charity event, announcing that he has decided to cancel the match.   He tweeted that he was &amp;quot;done&amp;quot; with Zimmerman and that the &amp;quot;major payday&amp;quot; was not worth it. &amp;quot;I know no one else would walk away like I did,&amp;quot; he said, adding that he will give a full explanation about the cancellation at a press conference on Tuesday (February 11). Speaking to Rolling Stone, Feldman admitted that he made an error in choosing Zimmerman as one of the celebrity boxers. Zimmerman was acquitted of murdering teenager Trayvon Martin last year. He was found not guilty of all charges after shooting teenager Martin in February 2012, claiming self-defence. &amp;quot;I looked into the eyes of my son and daughter today and couldn&amp;#039;t imagine someone killing them and getting off scot-free. It just really hurt,&amp;quot; Feldman said.  I made the right decision I could of made big $$$ but I would rather be happy \u00E2\u20AC\u201D Damon Feldman (@hollywoodbox11) February 9, 2014  He claimed that he could have made two million dollars with the fight, adding: &amp;quot;But at least I have my dignity.&amp;quot; Feldman had previously told Philadelphia Magazine that he would not cancel the fight. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not quitting this,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;People want me to quit. I would never do that. This is the opportunity of a lifetime. It&amp;#039;s entertainment, man.&amp;quot; Rapper DMX had stated that he wanted to &amp;quot;beat the living f**k out out of&amp;quot; Zimmerman, but that he had not officially signed up. A petition to stop the fight had been signed over 100,000 times on Change.org, while a White House petition had nearly 28,000 signatures. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
