Just weeks after YouTuber Austin McBroom and his father were sued for contractual fraud over Social Gloves 2, a fellow YouTuber, Faze Jarvis, is suing Austin, his dad, and their company for Social Gloves: Battle of the Platforms, a fight that happened last year.
This time Austin McBroom is being sued for breach of contract, breach of implied and covenant of good faith and fair dealing, along with fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and civil conspiracy.
In his complaint, Faze claims that the McBrooms were careless with the money and did not promote the event enough, whereas the promotions team advised him to do the needful. Faze also claimed that Austin McBroom hid from the world that his company was producing the fight due to his past lawsuits.
The complaint filed by Faze reads:
With this lawsuit, there are a total of seven cases against Austin McBroom and members of the Ace Family.
Austin McBroom deceived the talent by hiding his company's involvement in hiring them for the fight: Faze
In his complaint, Jarvis claimed that Austin McBroom reached out to the talent for the show by messaging them that he had received a call from the team of Social Glove and they wanted to hire Austin and the other person. Hence, he kept the talent in the dark that it was he who was hiring people and not some other third person.
Jarvis also stated that McBroom created a pitch where he claimed that Kevin Hart would be the host of the event and James Charles would be the one to sing the national anthem. Whereas he never approached Hart or Charles. So, by creating a fake pitch, McBroom kept everyone in the dark.
Moreover, the event did not have as many fighters as declared in the pitch. Neither the event made as much money as mentioned nor got the projected PPV streams as expected.
Additionally, Jarvis claimed he was offered $1,025,000 for the fight, for which $25,000 was promised upfront. However, he did not get the promised amount.
