DMX Sued For $1 Mil For Backing Out Of Fight

Saturday, November 21, 2009 12:33 PM | 70 comments
By Nolan Strong

Rapper DMX is the subject of a new $1 million dollar lawsuit for backing out of a celebrity boxing match scheduled to take place in December in Birmingham, Alabama.

 

DMX was originally scheduled to fight boxer/actor Eric Martinez during an event titled “Alabama Pride,” promoted by Thunder Promotions.

 

The rapper was scheduled to box Martinez for three rounds but backed out of the fight when Thunder Promotions allegedly refused to fix the fight or guarantee DMX's safety.

 

DMX’s abrupt cancellation left promoters scurrying to find a replacement.

 

Shortly after it was announced that DMX would be pulling out of the fight, Thunder Promotions signed up rapper Coolio to face off against Martinez in the ring on December 12th.

 

According to Coolio, he has no plans to fix the fight or to even lose the contest.

 

“I've been doing martial arts for 18 years...somebody [is] gonna get knocked the f**k out,” Coolio exclaimed to radio host Angela Yee during an interview last week. “Coolio don't take a** whoopin’s well. I'll tell you what, if I get into trouble, you gonna know because it's gonna go from boxing to f**king wrestling and choking because I hate to lose.”

 

Thunder Promotions filed the $1 million dollar lawsuit against DMX in Birmingham County Court on Friday (November 20th).

 

Thunder Promotions claims DMX's cancellation has caused them hundreds and thousands of dollars and damages.

 

The lawsuit is the latest financial set back for DMX, who also owes $1.5 million in back taxes to the IRS.

==============================================

why would you think that his pockets are real deep?  guy was about to do this ridiculous event but you think he has $2.5 mil just to get back right?  wouldn't he have done that already if he had it?

It seem like since they found a replacement, they shouldn't be out of money. If i was DMX, i would challenge the lawsuit in Court, I'm no lawyer, but it seem like he wouldn't have to pay the money, since they found a replacement fighter for DMX.

"refused to fix the fight or guarantee DMX's safety."

He didn't want to get Sticky Finga'd on live TV.

This company is to blame as well, thinking X was gonna come through and do what he promised.  All X been' doing is losing lately.  It was all good just a few years ago when he was outselling Jay, and was the biggest thing in hip hop.  Oh well.

Are you actually reading the words on the thread , ITS NOT A TAX BILL , He's being sued by Thunder Promotions for not obliging his contract for the boxing fight

We'll see what his paper is like if the lawsuit goes against him and he has to cough the doe up
November 21, 2009 6:44 PM
 

world champ said:

@Gorgan

you dumber than a bag off assholes

if u read the previous dmx article it explains how he owes 1.5 in taxes, and now hes gettin sued for a mill, so get your illiterate ass out the projects and back to that libary and start readin in the childrens section
November 21, 2009 6:52 PM
 

general_J_Hood said:

@ gorgan

yeah i read the thread... and i feel like liq, he should fight it since they found the other fighter...
but also the story is one sided right now
1.) i haven't seen any contracts,
to me it seem like he gave them enuf time to do what they had to do to get the position filled
2.)dmx hasn't said anything about it yet
so to speak on it would be premature at least for me
i like to know what im talkin about before i speak...
but thats just me...

so yeah i was going off comment when i wrote that...cause when i pull the hammer back i find that u get better results when there are bullets in the chamber...but again thats just me

DMX is an entertainer, X entertainer, of course he wants the fight fixed, he was gonna put on a show.  He should have put down the specifics in the beginning of the deal.  Don't get it twisted, we all know Coolio is "WILD" this will actually be a better show LOL I'm going with Coolio, reminds me of a Crazy Uncle in the hood that everybody knows is "Crazy".  Oh and rappers don have $ like they say "C'mon son, get the f%^K outta here with that bullsh$%"

funny rap and everybody knows the loudest ni99a in the room is the weakest Denzel Washington via Frank Lucas

other then that x old
prolly in his mid 40 and all
already rich or been whatever
not hungry anymore just collecting royalties
the other dude young  hungry, thirsty and got something to prove

ask ur self why isn't anyone talkin about this other dude? do u even know who he is ?

so for x, whats to gain?(long or short run?)
they want a mil please this thunder group prolly ain't even
worth that, but thats opinion mine and until proven different thats where i stand

but i am bias.. i like x .....thats my dog the grand camp
and i respect ur opinion i can agree to be different.

I actually think this is a good look for Coolio, it will encourage him to stay off drugs and train hard instead.

I think I would've respected X even if he lost the fight, but now that he ducked out, it just draws him more into question.

Not everything that happens to X is his fault, but some of the s**tis. That 'riot' s**thad nothing to do with him for example, but this definitely does
