Post subject: | Rapper DMX has been sued for $1 million for backing out |
DMX is a Rapper/Actor/Boxer/Defendant Rapper DMX has been sued for $1 million backing out of a celebrity boxing match that was part of a Boxing/MMA card called "Alabama Pride" slated for December 12, 2009 in Alabama. Documents posted by TMZ (add requisite grain of salt) indicate that DMX wanted the "fight" staged in a way that protected both his safety and his reputation. While Thunder Promotions is not above advertising a fight featuring a rapper whose best martial arts credential is that he co-starred with Steven Seagal, it does draw the line at fixed fights. DMX is out. Coolio is in. Really. Several lessons here: 1. Before you promote a fight, make sure those on the card actually plan to take part in a real fight. (Of course, this may have happened here as a lawsuit has been filed, but see Number 2.) 2. The amount of damages sought in a lawsuit often have nothing to do with reality. (19,000 people wouldn't pay to see DMX rap, let alone fight.) 3. If you are going to send out a document that makes your client look really bad, a confidentiality provision in that same document does not help you if the other party decides to go public with it instead of signing it.

hahahahhahahaha Where my dogs at........they went for a walk i said a while ago coolio stepped up in place...unreal should have got Bumpy Knux hardest rapper out there First (and only) Annual Rappers Charity Boxing Title, which pitted rappers with handskills against their cross-coastal rivals. Match-ups included Willie D v. Melle Mel, and a scheduled fight between Ultra-affiliate Tim Dog and Dope E from The Terrorists (A Houston group signed to Rap-A-Lot). The thing is, Tim Dog never showed up, so Freddie had to step in and fight Dope E after having already won his own match. Bumpy Knuckles went on to win the tournament, and held it down for the East-coast. In his acceptance speech, he called-out the author of “Fuck Compton” for fronting on the event. I can’t find the original article, but I remember Freddie saying something about “rappers who make records like “Step To Me” but can’t get into the ring.” Here’s an excerpt from a recent interview from Tha Formula: ThaFormula.com – Willie D knocked Mel out? Freddie Foxxx – One punch B, and Melle Mel is way bigger then him. Willie D wasn’t crying that skinny guy shit cause Willie D is not no big dude, but his hand game was together. This dude Dope E was fighting like a broad man. I was like “where the fuck did you all get this cornball ass muthafucka from?” Tim Dog should have came in there and broke his ass up. That’s what he should have did, but he didn’t even show up. fron unkut |

But seriously, Coolio is going to fight!? If he does it and doesnt make a fool out of himself thats coolio with me Im sure there are more then one MMA fighter that can rap, and more then one rapper that can fight MMA. The lifestyles could go quite well together except for all that weedsmoking maybe... Wonder if we will see this event someway |

New DMX lyrics: It's dark, and the cage is hot. Ain't no fixed fights in MMA, Only real fights every day. Ain't no fixed fights in MMA, cos when cage closes you better not play, only real fights in MMA. LOL what a tool. |

Everyone in this post, lolz. This is just too funny. I want to add this: DMX must have rented a room in Gangsta's Paradise if he thinks he can agree to a fight and back out (I've got a million of them and none of 'em are funny ). |
