Fucking hell, what spite can do for a motherfucker.
Idubbbz just posted the official announcement for his
boxing event. This whole story started
years back, I suppose with the
Ricegum Content Cop video. For those who don't know, Idubbbz blasted Ricegum for a solid 30 minutes, and ever since the two of them had beef. Well, I say "beef", it's more like "Ricegum keeps insulting Ian, and Ian keeps calling Ricegum an idiot". But, eventually, Ricegum actually challenged Ian to a boxing match. Ian declined, because
what the fuck, and Ricegum kept calling him a pussy. Eventually, Ricegum took the weird step to contact Ian's wife, to tell him to reply.
But, Ricegum wanted his buddy DramaAlert to setup the whole event, which Ian absolutely declined. He started setting up the event himself, finding promoters and organizers by himself. Of course, Ricegum immediately flaked out.
So, now the shoe was on the other foot. Ian kept calling Ricegum out, but the pussy kept declining. So, now Ian continued with the event, but just with other people. He amassed a large group of other content creators, and is putting up a massive event with 10 other fights besides his own, all with big creator names. He himself will be boxing Doctor Mike, who is apparently a big boxer himself, but also someone in a similar weightclass who was able, and willing to do it for charity. Other fights include (these are just the channels that I know myself, there are more):
- Arin Hanson, aka Egoraptor
- Epic Meal Time's Harley
- The Super Mega boys
- Alex Ernst
- I Did A Thing
- TheOdd1sOut
- Michael Reeves
And people have managed to
find out more names, although they're not officially confirmed:
- Anything4Views
- Esfand
- Someone called "Erik", which I assume is Internet Comment Etiquette
So yeah, this whole thing is set up out of spite, because Ricegum kept pestering Ian. Amazing.
