1 Day Left: At the Weigh-In!

Posted on by

Ladies and gentlemen! The time is fast approaching for SOCIAL GLOVES: BATTLE OF THE PLATFORMS. Yes, in bold and all caps this time because I'm PUMPED. And if you aren't, then you should be!

Today I had the pleasure of witnessing the free-to-view Social Gloves weigh-in, the fateful moment when fighters from both sides flexed, talked smack, and flexed some more. So many people tuned into the livestream, but we had a near FULL HOUSE at Hard Rock Live. A theatre seating nearly 7,000 evenly divided along strict social media lines. The roar of the crowd, on both the TikTok and YouTube sides, was thunderous. And the tension between fighters felt like thunder: fast and deadly. These guys are out for blood.

Hosts Fousey and Keemstar did an unreal job of keeping the energy high and the tension low for the audience and the fighters respectively. That was, until the headlining fighters, Bryce Hall and Austin McBroom took to the stage. As the two squared off, you would need a chainsaw to cut the tension in the air. It almost seemed like the two of them were gonna start sparring right then and there.

Of course, the high intensity hit just below a fever pitch, and before things could get ugly, the weigh-in was over! Bryce and Austin had a massive fan meet-and-greet, and soon after that the party moved to DAER at Seminole Hard Rock for a roof top party, south Florida style.

LiveXLive's own news outlet LiveZone held it down with fighter interviews, and HollyWire's Chelsea Briggs did an outstanding job as the segment's host.Everyone from DDG to Michael Le to even Austin himself showed up. FaZe Jarvis was even there interacting and cracking jokes with some of his younger fans!

All of the smack talk and intensity is starting to boil over, and it will finally pay off TOMORROW NIGHT when S-S-S-S-S-S-SOOOOOOOOOOCIAL GLOOOOOOOOOVES goes live. As I'm typing this, our production team is over at Hard Rock Stadium putting the finishing touches on the lights, music, and all the other odds-and-ends to make sure this show looks and sounds the best it can. All around Seminole Hard Rock the buzz is growing, and after a day like today, it's only up from here.

If YOU (yes, you) wanna get in on the action, don't forget to buy your tickets! You can still purchase in-person tickets for tomorrow night's event at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, through TicketMaster, OR secure yourself a Pay-Per-View Package. This is something you don't want to miss.

On-Stage with Austin McBroom

Posted on by

Tomorrow, June 11th, is the SOCIAL GLOVES: Battle of the Platforms weigh-in. In preparation, Austin McBroom and his posse, as well as his wife Catherine, were brought to Hard Rock Live, the theatre inside Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, FL for preparation. Surprisingly, as the only one in the room who knew how to get there, I led the way. And went on stage. And took pictures.

First off, Austin and his posse were decked out head-to-toe in Austin's new ACE Family clothing collaboration with Bananas Monkey. The stage was awash in black and orange acid wash, and everyone in the posse was DRIPPIN', hard. Especially Austin's main security man, Xander, who was probably the tallest man I've ever met.

Hard Rock security were quick to lay down the ground rules and the layout for the weigh-in. Understandably, a fan riot wouldn't be ideal. Especially when the 7,000-seat theatre will be mostly full.

McBroom was given the run-down, admired the view of the empty theatre, and was quick to revel in the spotlight. It seems like he was meant to be on a stage like this.

As we exited Hard Rock Live, the air was absolutely electric. Running into Keemstar before their 9 o'clock interview definitely helped to stoke the flames. Anyone in the vicinity could feel it; it was palpable. I was excited before, but once Bryce Hall and his TikTok posse pulls up, things are gonna get explosive.

You can tune into the weigh-in for FREE tomorrow, June 11 at noon right here. And don't forget to secure your Pay-Per-View packages or in-person TicketMaster tickets before the big night on Saturday, June 12th! Bundle up if you wanna, but things are just heating up.
