Bryce Hall slams \u201ccry baby\u201d Michael Gruen amid TikTok vs YouTube PPV drama Instagram: brycehall \/ michaelgrunAfter a clip of Bryce Hall and TalentX\u2019s Michael Gruen arguing about projected PPV sales for YouTubers vs. TikTokers resurfaced, Bryce called Michael \u201cthe fakest, lying cry-baby scam f**ker LA has to offer.\u201d While the June 12 YouTuber vs. TikTokers boxing event turned out to be an unexpected hit, controversy has arisen in the weeks following after TikTokers Vinnie Hacker and Josh Richards, among others, claimed that fighters and artists from the event still hadn\u2019t been paid. Organizers Social Gloves claim they are \u201cworking tirelessly\u201d to ensure that everyone is paid within a reasonable time, but many believe that the event massively undersold PPV tickets, causing issues when it comes to profit. In an episode of the Sway House\u2019s reality show back in April, TalentX co-founder Michael Gruen predicted that the event would fail to sell as many tickets as was expected. Bryce called out Michael for \u201ctalking sh*t\u201d about him for not being able to move tickets, though Michael disputed this. After allegations emerged that fighters haven\u2019t been paid, Michael then posted this clip to Twitter on June 26. He also uploaded several screenshots of messages he sent to Bryce in which he clarified what he\u2019d said. \u201cI never said you don\u2019t move product. I know the numbers you move. I\u2019m not sure what he considers a lot of #s, but I told him I think you\u2019d move 150k at $40k. I didn\u2019t mean for that to be disrespectful because to me that\u2019s a f**k ton.\u201d It\u2019s a real shame. After the episode was filmed, I texted the attached to Bryce. He graciously accepted my note, apologized for what he said, and accepted my dinner invite for Monday. I texted him 3 times, called twice to meet up, he ignored it. Haven\u2019t heard from him since. pic.twitter.com\/iBw1MEwhTy \u2014 Michael Gruen (@Michaelgr1011) June 26, 2021 He claimed that in response, Bryce \u201cgraciously accepted my note, apologized for what he said, and accepted my dinner invite for Monday,\u201d but said that after that, \u201cI texted him 3 times, called twice to meet up, he ignored it. Haven\u2019t heard from him since.\u201d Michael then added that he hopes Bryce \u201creaches out to apologize.\u201d Bryce has been there for me a lot and what has occurred from April 3rd on has been painful. I hope Bryce sees this and reaches out to apologize. I miss him as a friend, but friends don\u2019t behave like this towards other friends. I would 1000% fully forgive him. \u2014 Michael Gruen (@Michaelgr1011) June 26, 2021 Shortly after on June 26, Bryce wrote his own response via Twitter. \u201cMichael Gruen is the fakest, lying cry-baby scam f**ker LA has to offer,\u201d he said, \u201cthat\u2019s why big executives don\u2019t associate with him anymore! He is the pure definition of fake it till you make it in LA.\u201d Hey Bryce! It\u2019s a pleasure to reach you via Twitter. All I heard from this is that you think I\u2019ve made it. I am flattered! \u2014 Michael Gruen (@Michaelgr1011) June 26, 2021 Michael responded: \u201cHey Bryce! It\u2019s a pleasure to reach you via Twitter. All I heard from this is that you think I\u2019ve made it. I am flattered!\u201d Participants and fans are still waiting on further news regarding the lack of pay, and many are keen to see what the ultimate financial results of the event are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
