Off to a great start, fighters are wearing headgear, but not boxing headgear, wrestling headgear.
Holder is yet to compete inside the ring, but has stated he’s been training for the last five years. Gib makes his return to the ring since suffering a first-round TKO loss to Youtube sensation Jake Paul in January 2020. Hall is also new to boxing, but has experience in combat sports as a former high school wrestler.
He played Division basketball for Saint Louis University. McBroom come sin with no boxing experience, but is an athlete in his own right.

This has to be an adult decision and I think that Austin’s biggest problem is that he’s not surrounded by the right people.Social Gloves: Battle of the Platforms brings boxing, music, esports, fashion, and NFTs together for a unique pop culture live entertainment and PPV Livestream. I signed an agreement that says that James Harden is first position, that Social Gloves signed as well. You don’t hire bankruptcy lawyers unless you’re trying to beat James Harden. You sit down with all your business partners. You’ve got to take the ‘L.’ We’ve all been there. If this ends up in bankruptcy, they could be forced to return the money, so that the investors could get paid back.ĭespite all of the bad blood surrounding the event, Ellin remains positive that a solution can be reached.Įllin said, “It’s still fixable and all he has to do is grow up. It has been rumored that the fighters, Deji and AnEsonGib, were paid before the fight. So, if none of the YouTubers are complaining but every single TikToker wasn’t paid, what does that tell you?” Ninety-eight percent of every ticket in pay-per-view, in this history of pay-per-view that has been sold, was sold over cable and satellite.”Įllin said, “There’s not a single YouTuber that’s complaining. Part of the reason that the event didn’t generate more revenue is because it wasn’t available on pay-per-view.Įllin explained, “Austin was so arrogant, and so egotistical about this, that he refused to put it on cable and satellite. And as we got into the last couple of days, he was getting it every 15 minutes.” And, as it got closer to the fight, he was getting it every hour. The problem McBroom faces is that the event didn’t generate enough revenue to pay all of the fighters and investors.McBroom estimated that the event would generate $200 million to $500 million but the event onlysold 136,000 subscriptions for packages starting at $49.99 and going up to $89.99.īut fighters were unaware that the sales were going to be less than expected.Įllin said, “He was telling Bryce and Tayler that he didn’t know any of the numbers. Then, guaranteed the money was wired and never paid the full amount.” He told us the monies were wired and then changed the number. The only two investors in the event were James Harden and LiveXLive.Įllin continued, “The reason that we put up money is Austin was supposed to pay for the entire production.
