YouTube boxing returned last night as AnEsonGib took on Austin McBroom in a highly anticipated grudge match. The bout turned out to be quite the opposite of what people were expecting as 'Gib' knocked out McBroom in emphatic fashion in his second pro-fight.
Regardless of the outcome, both fighters are expected to walk away with hefty payouts following their matchup. While it is unclear how much they will make from this fight, a look at their past payouts can help to get an idea of their potential payouts.
As per Boxing Planet, AnEsonGib earned roughly around $900,000 to $1 million from his fight against Jake Paul and went on to earn significantly less in his next fight against Taylor Holder. So, it's safe to assume that he would walk away with roughly $500,000 to $1 million from his fight against Austin McBroom.
On the flipside, Austin McBroom is said to have earned around $4-6 million from his first fight against Bryce Hall. While his payout from his fight against AnEsonGib might not even be close to this, McBroom will surely walk away with at least $1 million from the event.
