iDubbbz Confirms 'Creator Clash 2' Lost $250,000 And Did Not Donate To Charity

Months after the influencer boxing event Creator Clash 2 wrapped up, the competition's creator iDubbbz released another video regarding the event and him as a person, following the criticism of his handling of Froggy Fresh's contentious removal from the fight card.

In the newest video released on Monday, iDubbbz went over the financial aspect of the event and admitted that it only sold 50,000 pay-per-view tickets, claiming he lost roughly $250,000 and that he wasn't able to donate any money to the charities as he promised.

Despite releasing the information himself in the video, word about the charity donations falling through has quickly garnered controversy online as the video has racked up nearly half a million views in less than 48 hours.

Perhaps unexpectedly for those following the events leading up to Creator Clash, the immediate speculation by some commentators on social media was that the ongoing feud between iDubbbz and Sam Hyde was directly part of the reason why the event lost money, as some see iDubbbz raising security and his comments towards Hyde as reasons for people to be turned off to the event and it losing money — though this isn't proven.

Though the exact reasons for the financial struggles weren't explicitly laid out, iDubbbz explained that Creator Clash 2 had a higher cost than Creator Clash 1, which is part of the reasoning for the $250,000 loss.

The increase in cost from Creator Clash 1 to 2 is also apparent when looking at Creator Clash 2 having the pre-fight and post-fight venue taking place within a more expensive hotel, and Creator Clash 1 not having a post-fight event at all.

Additionally, the Yuengling Center (where Creator Clash 1 took place) is a 55,000 square-foot college arena that was used during its off-season vs. the 670,000 square-foot Amalie Arena (where the professional NHL team Tampa Bay Lightning play), meaning all costs across the board would almost surely be significantly higher.

Yesterday, iDubbbz then began a 24-hour charity stream in which he's attempting to raise over $250,000 in donations from fans to then give to the charities that weren't able to be paid out as a result of Creator Clash 2's financial issues. This stream had various incentives, which were almost fully met within the first 20 hours of the stream.

Others, however, took the opportunity to bash iDubbbz further for using a stream and other people's donations while they felt the loss of money was entirely his fault for how he handled the FroggyFresh controversy and Creator Clash 2 as a whole.
