Blueface participated in one of Adin Ross' Brand Risk Promotions events over the weekend. He had a fight with Chibu, and as you can imagine, there was lots of fanfare surrounding this. In the end, Blue walked away with the loss, and it wasn't particularly close.
While he was able to avoid getting knocked out, it was clear that the artist was just not prepared for the fight. Chibu was in better shape and was giving Blueface the business. Overall, the rapper was not happy with how things went down. He even accused Adin Ross of rigging the fight, which led to some hurt feelings after the fact.
Since the fight, many have been wondering whether or not Blueface was paid handsomely for his troubles. According to DJ Akademiks, he was indeed. Ak revealed on stream that Blueface, at minimum, made between $350-$400K for the fight. Meanwhile, on the higher end, he could have made upwards of $1 million.
Blueface's Earnings Revealed
Akademiks noted that the Ed Matthews fight from a few years ago only netted Blueface $160K. This just goes to show that the rapper is commanding more attention and, as a result, even more dollars.
The hip-hop commentator also made the claim that this is not going to hurt Blueface's career in any capacity. Whether that be through the rap world or future boxing opportunities, it is likely that Blue is going to be just fine.
Having said that, Chibu has proven himself as a worthy adversary in the world of boxing, and that is definitely something to keep an eye on going forward. Brand Risk is very likely to get him on another card in the near future.
As for Blueface, there are plenty of potential challengers coming down the pipeline. Whether or not he gives any of them a chance is impossible to say. After accusing Adin Ross of rigging his fight, the relationship could be permanently damaged. Either way, Blue got his money.
