Austin McBroom vs AnEsonGib purses released as loser earns just $10,000 (2024)

McBroom is believed to have demanded a seven-figure payout to face KSI in London, but ended up taking him just $10,000 as a guaranteed purse for his professional debut on Saturday night

Austin McBroom was paid just $10,000 for being dropped five times and knocked out by AnEsonGib in his professional debut last weekend.

The American social media star is believed to have asked for a payout in the millions to face KSI in his boxing return, but ended up pocketing the lowest possible five-figure sum for his bout with Gib on Saturday night. McBroom promoted the event, his second under the Social Gloves banner, and will likely earn most of his money from pay-per-view sales.

He and Gib fought out a YouTube boxing classic where, after being dropped in the first round, the Brit got up and landed five knockdowns on route to his first victory as a professional. Gib had lost to Jake Paul in his professional debut after winning his two white-collar outings.

But his main issue with McBroom started when he was robbed of a victorious moment in the ring when his win over Tayler Holder last year in an exhibition was falsely announced as a draw. The result was rectified days later, but he insisted that he would come back to America to put an end to the head of Social Gloves, who he felt was responsible for stealing his moment.

Gib was paid $50,000 as a flat fee for his win over McBroom, while the highest earner on the card was former NFL star Le'Veon Bell who knocked out fellow ex-running back Adrian Peterson in an exhibition bout. Bell made the night's highest payout at $250,000 while Peterson earned $15,000.

Among the other top earners were basketball star Nick 'Swaggy P' Young, who was paid $100,000 for an outlandish showing against short-notice opponent Minikon that saw him knocked out of the ring before the fight was stopped for a non-existent clash of heads. His rival made $25,000 for fighting on two days' notice.

Adam Saleh, the New York-born YouTuber was paid $100,000 for his draw with Landon McBroom, who made the lowest payout of the main card as he was given just $5,000. The pair were competing for the ICB international middleweight title, but nobody took the belt home.

In the opening fight of the celebrity portion of the card, Too Hot To Handle star Chase Demoor was paid $50,000 while his reality TV rival Cory Wharton made $45,000. Their bout went the distance after a farcical showing from the heavyweights in which neither man landed anything of major note over five rounds, and no winner was declared.

The payouts for the professional portion of the card were as follows:

Abimbola Osundairo (winner): $4,200 Marco Deckmann (loser): $1,280

Jalan Walker: $1,175 (winner) Moises Sixto: $4,000 (loser)

Luis Schwenke: $2,000 (draw) Jay Silva: $1,500 (draw)

Mathias Radcliffe: $3,440 (winner) Trenton Gibson: $1,600 (loser)

Jerry Bradford: $920 (winner) Darynn Leyva: $2,500 (loser)

The listed payouts were released by the California State Athletic Commission, as is standard practice, and are base purses. They do not include sponsor money or potential back-end deals on PPV and ticket sale numbers, although anybody with a ticket sale deal may have been out of luck as it was reported that only a few hundred were sold with around a thousand comps offered.
