Logan Paul opened up about the ongoing drama surrounding Austin McBroom and Social Gloves. The YouTube star seems to advise the ACE Family patriarch to take the criticism “on the chin.”
Team YouTube enjoyed a huge win in the YouTubers vs TikTokers boxing event. According to Josh Richards, Vinnie Hacker, and others involved in the event, several influencers did not receive compensation for stepping inside the boxing ring.
The entire event was organized by Social Gloves Entertainment, which is partially owned by Austin McBroom, who is not only a popular family YouTuber but also a fighter on the main event. While McBroom has remained mum about the speculations, Dexerto found that the Social Gloves trademark is owned by the Ace Hat Collection, where McBroom serves as the CEO.

This topic surfaced during a June 29 episode of the imPaulsive podcast, where Logan Paul and co-host Mike Majlak shared their opinions about the ongoing controversy. Paul seemed surprised that McBroom was selling the tickets for a very low price. He even compared the failure of the event to his own flopped “Challenger Games” in 2019.

“Guess what? I took it on the f**king chin,” he said of the criticism he received over the track and field charity project. “I sucked, and they let me know it. And I was like, ‘You’re f**king right.’”

“If you don’t perform, and you come up short, and you think you’re a king, and you’re not really, you’re kind of a pretend king, just take it on the chin,” he continued. “The facade’s up, dude, the jig is over, we get it. You thought at one point you’re the shit, and now you’re not.”

Paul ensured that he explained that he wasn’t attacking McBroom, his comments are worth noting, considering that he is one of the YouTubers responsible for the massive success of the current influencer boxing trend.
