Austin McBroom accused of begging YouTubers to fight \u201cfor free\u201d on AnEsonGib boxing card YouTube: Ireland Boys, The ACE Family, Social GlovesYouTube star Austin McBroom is under fire after a YouTuber claimed he was asked to fight \u201cfor free\u201d on the undercard of the upcoming AnEsonGib boxing match. The ACE Family\u2019s Austin McBroom was initially slated to face off against UK creator AnEsonGib on Saturday, July 30. Unfortunately, just a week prior to their bout, both Gib and McBroom announced the fight was postponed, with Gib claiming that he had to undergo some health screenings before being allowed to compete. Now, the influencer boxing extravaganza is facing even more speculation as a YouTube duo known as the \u2018Ireland Boys\u2019 have released DMs from Social Gloves that appear to be asking them to fight for an extremely low payday. Nick Ireland, one half of the Ireland Boys, claimed that Social Gloves \u2014 the boxing promotion company owned by McBroom \u2014 had reached out to him with an initial offer to face off against fellow influencer Ryan Johnston. Nick then asked for the amount they\u2019d be willing to pay him to box\u2026 but it seems like their budget was stretched thin. Messages from Social Gloves claimed that their finances were \u201creally tight\u201d and asked Nick for the \u201clowest\u201d amount he\u2019d be willing to accept. \u201cThe card is already set but if money isn\u2019t your motivation then we might be able to work something out,\u201d they wrote. \u201cNot saying you would fight for free but the budget is low. What\u2019s the lowest you could get in the ring for?\u201d \u201cFor the time, effort, and energy and everything that I have to devote to take the fight seriously, they\u2019d have to give me a little bit of a baggie,\u201d Nick admitted. \u201cIf they weren\u2019t gonna give me a baggie, I don\u2019t think it would be worth it just for the exposure alone.\u201d After asking Social Gloves to make him an offer, they then claimed that their budget was \u201cmaxed out.\u201d Nick never replied \u2014 but says the company released a fight poster for a \u201cpotential\u201d matchup between him and Johnston to their Instagram page. (Topic begins at 9:42) Ultimately, Nick decided against taking the fight due to the potential of not being paid for his time, relating the incident to the $100 million lawsuit he faced against LiveOne after last year\u2019s Battle of the Platforms. For now, McBroom has yet to respond to Nick\u2019s allegations as the future of his boxing match with AnEsonGib hangs in limbo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
