It appears no one was interested in watching a bunch of social media influencers and former athletes box each other.
On Saturday, former NFL players Adrian Peterson and Le’Veon Bell were set to fight each other on the undercard of the Austin McBroom-AnEsonGib fight card at the Banc of California stadium.
Dexerto.com, which specializes in covering social media influencers, reports that only 200 tickets were sold while a large amount were given away.

There is absolutely no way anyone is making ANY money from this fight.

Fans began uploading pics of an empty stadium.
Live from Social Gloves 2: McBroom vs. Gib – Stadium looks clean, not many fans came to watch this event. I wonder how much Austin Mcbrooms spent to rent out this stadium. #SocialGloves #SocialGloves2 #AustinMcBroom #AnEsonGib #KSI #JakePaul pic.twitter.com/co3ixgkWeB
