The Social Gloves boxing event reportedly didn’t do very well.
On Saturday, YouTube stars Austin McBroom, and AnEsonGib are set to fight each other months after their initial fight was scrapped due to Gib suffering a head injury during sparring.
The social gloves card ALSO features former NBA player Nick Young fighting rapper Blueface and former NFL players Adrian Peterson and Le’Veon Bell.
According to a report from Dexerto.com, the event only sold 200 tickets while 1,000 tickets were given away.

Dexerto would later film when the doors opened and barely anyone was in attendance.

Live from Social Gloves 2: McBroom vs. Gib – Stadium looks clean, not many fans came to watch this event. I wonder how much Austin Mcbrooms spent to rent out this stadium. #SocialGloves #SocialGloves2 #AustinMcBroom #AnEsonGib #KSI #JakePaul pic.twitter.com/co3ixgkWeB

It was probably not a great idea to schedule an influencer boxing event on the same weekend as UFC 279 and a ton of college football games.
