Hall had recently announced signing with BKFC to leverage his position for further ventures. Prior to this, Bryce Hall suffered a loss to social media influencer Austin McBroom at the YouTubers vs TikTokers event in 2021. Since then Hall has not competed in any other events and jumped right away to bare-knuckle boxing.
Despite being a huge underdog, the social media influencer pulled a huge upset and defeated 3-0 BKFC fighter Gee Perez in the co-main event of BKFC 48 on August 11. Let’s take a look at how much the social media influencer is making for his venture in BKFC.
How much will Bryce Hall make from his bare knuckle boxing debut?

The 23-year-old will also be able to make additional bonuses for his second round knockout win over Perez. Meanwhile, his opponent and former undefeated fighter Gee Perez made $100,000 for sharing the ring with Hall.
After the successful debut, the social media influencer will be looking to go back into the influencer boxing bouts. Due to his boxing record, the 23-year-old believed he was not a lucrative fight for the big influencers. However, Hall has leveraged his position quite well by winning the fight against Perez.
Furthermore, Bryce has already decided that he would like to redeem his loss to Austin McBroom and also expressed the desire to fight Deji and KSI. Hall was confident that he would get the win on August 11 due to his size advantage and backed his words by a strong second round knockout. After, the win over Perez, the social media influencer will surely have better odds entering his next fight.
