Social Gloves responds to accusations that YouTubers vs TikTokers fighters were unpaid Instagram: livexliveTikTokers Josh Richards and Vinnie Hacker have claimed those who fought in the huge YouTubers vs. TikTokers boxing event have yet to be paid in full. UPDATE 6\/25\/2021 10:26 AM PST \u2013 Social Gloves Entertainment has responded after TikTok stars Vinnie Hacker and Josh Richards levied claims that fighters who participated in the Battle of the Platforms were not compensated. In an Instagram story, Social Gloves stated that they are \u201cworking tirelessly to verify the financial results\u201d of the event. The platform then claimed that they\u2019d hired a \u201cfirst-class forensic auditor to make sure that all amounts are properly accounted for\u201d and that their \u201csincere hope is to pay every fighter and every talent who participated\u201d on a \u201creasonable timeframe,\u201d while encouraging participants to send in receipts. Original story is as follows: On June 12, a selection of huge influencers from both YouTube and TikTok gathered together at the Miami Hard Rock Stadium to face off in an attempt to prove which platform is superior. The night had some explosive moments, but as hard as they tried, team TikTok only managed to score one win over team YouTube, with Vinnie Hacker beating Deji in one of the most talked-about fights of the night. The highly anticipated main headline fight was between Bryce Hall and Austin McBroom, and although Bryce ended up losing, he didn\u2019t need a win to be promised an enormous amount of money. Prior to the fight, he revealed: \u201cI\u2019m getting 4% of pay-per-view sales\u2026Then $5 million as soon as I step in the ring, and then a $1m knockout bonus.\u201d However, in an episode of the BFFs podcast, Vinnie Hacker and host Josh Richards claimed that the participants of the event still haven\u2019t been paid in full. After host Dave Portnoy said he\u2019d heard that people were yet to receive their money, Josh claimed: \u201cFighters didn\u2019t get paid, artists didn\u2019t get paid, no one got paid. \u201cFrom what I know, and I haven\u2019t got to actually talk to Bryce I guess yet, but since after the fight has happened, all the reports have said that no one\u2019s gotten paid. They\u2019ve gotten their signing bonuses, which was like probably 100k, 50k, depending on the fighter \u2014 none of the other money\u2019s come through.\u201d Josh also went on to claim that he\u2019s \u201c95% sure\u201d that the company due to pay the fighters filed for bankruptcy two days prior, but his fellow hosts questioned why the news, if true, isn\u2019t getting more attention. He said the company in question \u2018might\u2019 be Social Gloves, which has since appeared to be confirmed due to their Instagram stories response to the allegations. Topic starts at 8:26 + 58:00 He added: \u201cI heard there was suing involved already, and there was sh*t going down. I don\u2019t know if maybe they came to an agreement, I don\u2019t know if they worked it out in the last 24 hours, but I\u2019m gonna bank on the side that you\u2019re gonna see these fighters all get p*ssed really really soon.\u201d Vinnie Hacker says he hasn\u2019t been paid They later brought TikToker Vinnie Hacker on as a guest, and asked him whether there\u2019s any truth to Josh\u2019s claims that the fighters hadn\u2019t been paid. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot that we have to deal with right now, and I don\u2019t even know the full story,\u201d he said. Vinnie explained that he even got a call telling him to \u201ckeep his head up\u201d because they \u201cdon\u2019t know what\u2019s going on right now.\u201d He continued: \u201cThis whole time, this whole thing, I\u2019ve been so out of the loop, because it was just terrible communication in the first place.\u201d He then went on to confirm that he\u2019s not been paid yet. It\u2019s not clear which other fighters are in a similar position to Vinnie, but if Josh\u2019s predictions are true, participants may come out of the woodwork soon to share their frustrations publicly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
