Austin McBroom against AnEsonGib fight purses revealed with loser getting just $10,000 following TKO defeat

Social media star McBroom made his professional boxing debut against British YouTuber Gib, who picked up the win via knockout.

The Brit was dropped in the first round but quickly regrouped and landed five knockdowns on route to his first victory as a pro.

According to the Daily Mirror, his American rival pocketed the lowest possible five-figure sum after the bout.

McBroom promoted the event under the Social Gloves banner and will likely earn most of the cash via pay-per-view sales.

Gib, on the other hand, was paid $50,000 (£43,213) as a flat fee after his impressive win.

The two social media personalities’ rivalry kicked off when Gib was robbed of a victorious moment in the ring last year as his win over Tayler Holder in an exhibition was falsely announced as a draw.

The result was ultimately rectified a few days later, but he claimed the head of Social Gloves McBroom was responsible for stealing his moment.

That was a major victory for Gib, who lost to fellow YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul in his professional debut.

And that was quite a loss for McBroom, who demanded a seven-figure payout to face KSI in London.

The highest earner on the match card was ex-NFL star Le’Veon Bell, who knocked out fellow former running back Adrian Peterson in an exhibition bout.

Bell pocketed $250,000 (£216,370), while Peterson made $15,000 (£12,983).
