After months of drama, the future of Creator Clash 3 has been officially revealed, including a new venue and a new date for fight night.
Creator Clash is a charity-focused influencer-boxing event founded by YouTube star iDubbbz and his partner, Anisa. The first Creator Clash took place in 2022, receiving rave reviews and raising over $1.3 million for organizations like American Heart Association, the Alzheimer’s Association of America and Healing Horse Therapy Center.
However, its second iteration became overshadowed by drama between participating fighters and the event’s organizers, and even suffered a net loss of $250K to piracy.

Once again, Creator Clash came under fire after iDubbbz released a ‘Content Cop’ expose video focused on H3H3’s Ethan Klein, sparking even more backlash against the event and resulting in at least two fighters dropping out.

All in-person tickets for the initial event date are being refunded through Ticketmaster, while PPV tickets are still being honored for the new date in October. However, those hoping to refund their PPV tickets will also be able to do so.
More information about the new event will be revealed in the coming weeks, and not every fighter previously confirmed will be present in October. Several “fresh faces” are expected to join the fray as Creator Clash 3 works on building a new lineup.

The website also clarified that the creators fighting in CC3 are receiving a guaranteed purse to help cover training and travel costs, and 20% of net profits are being distributed evenly among all participating fighters.
Additionally, a 34% profit share, which was initially allocated to Ian and Anisa, will be split among the fighters now that they have fully stepped back from the event.
Creator Clash 3 will continue its current fundraising efforts, with the Q&A assuring viewers that “all funds raised so far are secure and unaffected.” Stand Up To Cancer remains as the beneficiary of this year’s event.

“While Creator Clash is a traditionally promoted, for-profit event, the financial success of the event does not impact the amount raised for charity,” the site reads.
“This structure, separating charitable fundraising from business operations, is new to this year and was put in place after the setbacks and confusion that followed last year’s event. It’s part of our commitment to rebuild trust and keep our charitable mission clear, transparent, and protected.”
In a YouTube video uploaded that same day, Ethan Nestor spoke out about the drama surrounding Creator Clash 3, saying, “We’re not trying to have any external internet bullsh*t. It’s just supposed to be a fun boxing event for charity. That’s really what it should be.”

“Creator Clash is such a special event,” Arin Hanson said in a statement provided to Dexerto. “Fighting in it was one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life and seeing how hard the Creator Clash 3 fighters have been training, we need to do right by them, the fans, and the charity, in creating the best experience possible. We’re making the changes to make that happen.”
