As we mentioned last month, father of the year, Michael Lohan, has organized a boxing match/publicity stunt, which he said the money would go to charity.
Lohan had found a competitor in Robert Venero, president and CEO of Future Tech Enterprise, who paid $30,000 to box against Lohan. But, in true Lohan fashion, the boxing event that was scheduled for this Monday has been cancelled. Though, this time, it’s due to his parole officer supposedly not allowing him.
Heather Groll, a rep for the New York State Division of Parole, said “Mr. Lohan was convicted of assault, which is a violent crime, and is currently under parole supervision until February of 2009. We do not feel that participating in a violent activity, such as celebrity boxing, whether it is for charity or not, is appropriate for his rehabilitation. It is inappropriate for a person on parole to engage in the same type of behavior that landed him in prison in the first place.”
Are they S-L-O-W???
The boxing match has been in talks for months and confirmed publicly for weeks. Why would they wait until now to ban him?
As for Lohan, he again is talking to the press and says he understands the decision but is “very disappointed.” He added, “I’ve been on parole for almost two years now, and being that everything has gone so well, I didn’t want to cross the line in any way with them.”
But, according to Lohan, he says the boxing match is still on. Just delayed. It will now take place in March, after his parole ends. And who’s next on Lohan’s hit list? Looks like he wants to fight the brother Lindsay’s gal pal, SaMAN Ronson.
Turns out that Mark Ronson called daddy Lohan a “sad, pathetic loser” after daddy mocked saMAN’s fashion and hygiene.
Lohan says, “After the comments and threats that Mark Ronson made recently, maybe he wants to fight me for charity. I’m definitely willing to step in the ring for three rounds with Mark Ronson.”
Forget Mark. He should totally fight saMAN!
She’s a scrapper – MAN would probably kick his ass!!!!
