Michael Lohan Postpones Fight Due to Parole.
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008Michael Lohan will not be fighting on November 24th 2008 because he would be violating his parole terms, according to NY State laws. He will remain a participant in the Long Island Fight for Charity in an exclusive match scheduled for March of 2009 against Bob Venero taking place at Carlyle on the Green.
So Lohan, what’s the deal banana peel?
1) You knew that you were on parole, did you really think you could stay under the radar in a charity boxing match that became international news, with judgments against you?
2) You took part in a press release to only draw more attention when you knew the whole time you weren’t able to participate. For someone who knows the law pretty well (jailbird alert!) you should have known that a boxing match wouldn’t be feasible in November of 2008.
3) You didn’t show up at the Crazy Donkey for the kickoff party to explain to your supporters the circumstances. Many people are supporting this cause because of your influence. This is a great Long Island charity, why should they be bending over backwards for you? In all seriousness, if you were ashamed or embarrassed, we’d understand. The least you could have done is send your BFF Stephen Baldwin down, right? Isn’t that what friends are for? : )
4) “The Humanitarian Hitman” Bob Venero, has contributed nearly $30,000 to support a great cause and take on a Long Island “bad boy” in the ring. Bob Venero steps up to the plate, puts in serious gym time, and you start acting shady? How could you play him like that? Venero is now taking on two opponents in the name of charity.
Michael Lohan hasn’t completely turned his back on the charity, he’s just got a lot of people excited for nothing only to postpone the “main event” to a future date. On the flipside, what if Michael Lohan didn’t know that this was violating his parole terms? After all, this event is for charity and I believe Michael Lohan has a benevolent agenda. Why would NY State make participation in a charity event a parole violation for Michael? This is a controlled and sanctioned charity boxing event, not a street fight. In Lohan’s defense, why is the NYS Parole board shutting him down? Michael Lohan is a “changed man” and trying to make a differece in the community. What good is NYS doing from stopping him?
