Background

In 2018, YouTuber iDubbbz called out fellow YouTuber RiceGum in a video entitled Content Cop - Jake Paul.[2] After the release of iDubbbz's video, RiceGum challenged him to a boxing match.[3] In a video uploaded in October 2021, it was revealed by iDubbbz that RiceGum had backed out of the fight and he was actively searching for new creators to join his planned event.[4] This would eventually evolve into the "Creator Clash".

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.[5] iDubbbz stated that he wanted this event to feel different from previous YouTuber boxing matches and ensured that fighters were taking it seriously.[6] The proceeds of the original Creator Clash, which iDubbbz stated was "close to a million dollars",[7] were donated to the American Heart Association,[5] the Alzheimer's Association,[7] and the Healing Horse Therapy Center.[7]

The event featured other popular creators such as AB "Starkilla" Ayad of the H3 Podcast, Harley Morenstein (of Epic Meal Time), Arin Hanson (of Game Grumps), TheOdd1sOut, Michael Reeves (of OfflineTV) and Ryan Magee and Matt Watson of SuperMega, and Dad, portrayed by Nathan Barnatt. This event also featured the first fight between female content creators as JustaMinx faced Yodeling Haley.[8][9] The event was organized by iDubbbz, his wife Anisa, and co-creator Mike Leanardi[10] with the events company Real Good Touring.
