The Creator Clash events were a recurring for-profit[1]crossover boxing event co-founded by content creators Ian "IDubbbz" Jomha and Anisa Jomha,[2] in partnership with event management company "Real Good Touring".[3] Creator Clash held two events to varied results. The first event in 2022 sold over 100,000 PPV buys and raised $1.3 million for charity, but the second event in 2023 only sold 50,000 PPV buys and failed to raise any money for charity.
The 2022 event featured many different creators from different genres of content, most who had never previously boxed before starting training for their respective fights.[7] iDubbbz stated that he wanted this event to feel different from previous YouTuber boxing matches and ensured that fighters were taking it seriously.[8] The proceeds of the original Creator Clash, which iDubbbz stated was "1.3 million dollars",[9] were donated to the American Heart Association,[7] the Alzheimer's Association,[9] and the Healing Horse Therapy Center.[9]
The event sold 50,000 PPV buys and lost $250,000 (resulting in no money going to charity).[14] According to iDubbbz, he attributed the loss to lack of piracy-prevention measures, venue costs, hotels, additional fights, creators, commentators, and charity partners which cut into the budget.[15][16]
On March 26, 2023, it was announced that creator Froggy Fresh had been removed from the card, due to him violating the event’s code of conduct by training with comedian Sam Hyde.[16] Two following statements were produced by the official Twitter account of the event.[20] He was eventually replaced by William Haynes.
On January 29, 2025, the official Twitter account for Creator Clash announced a third event to take place sometime in 2025. On February 4, it was announced that Creator Clash 3, billed as Influencers Will Pay, would take place on June 28 at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, once again.[21]
The event was later delayed to October 25, 2025, with a venue change to the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, California.[22] The event was cancelled on July 7, 2025, with an accompanying statement also confirming that there would be no future Creator Clash events, that anyone who bought a pay per view would be automatically refunded, and that the raised funds would be distributed to charity.[4]
