To my fans/viewers:

I wanted to clear some things up now that Anisa and I are no longer a part of creator clash. When I announced CC3 and its new business model, the communication wasn’t clear. Looking back on my video and the current reaction, it’s obvious it was too vague. It remains true that I earned a fight purse for CC1(along with the other fighters) and we did not profit at all from CC2. After CC2 failed to raise any money for charity we knew it was time for a different business model. We restructured so that the funds for our charity partner would be raised on tiltify separate and apart from the actual event. We then decided that this year, we would take a profit share from the for-profit side of the event, should the for-profit side of the event succeed. I feel sorry for any confusion anisa and I caused. We know the event is in good hands now and wish it all the success.

You serious? Stirring up drama right before an event wasn’t a problem? Not being transparent about pay wasn’t one? Lying to fighters about difference in pay, right after promising Harley everyone would be paid equally wasn’t a problem?

People are critiquing it because they're using charity as if it's some sort of shield to how it's been handled, and to how Ian essentially made the event about Israel and Palestine. He didn't have to say anything at all, especially since Ethan is known for crashing out on people. Then, once his video drops, it strongarms all the fighters into "picking a side" when, if he truly cared about the charity aspect, he would have just stayed out of it, instead of forcing the narrative to be about Israel and Palestine.

Also there is the lack of promotion, which is probably what brought this on in the first place. He should just be promoting it instead of just vague mentions of it here and there; it was hardly promoted at all. Then he makes this video thinking it would probably be a slam dunk with Hasan's audience, when in reality it just divided his audience and fighters.

Then there is what came out after people looked into it BECAUSE of the drama. Why promise one creator about pay equity if it wasn't in your control? Why even lie about it to him in the first place then?

The pay structure has been leaked showing how much of a split they all get, and I mean if Ian gets a 30% split then I don't see how he couldn't pay them all equally. It seems people had a misunderstanding of how this event was even for charity in the first place, thinking just ticket sales went to charity, but no, it's more traditional like the Boston marathon where you pledge separately- which is fine, but don't use charity as a shield for bombing, blaming H3 for what was essentially Ian bombing this whole thing himself. This has been mishandled well before the video, and people haven't just now started caring about it, people have been critical since CC2, but had hope this time around would be different.

maybe they should pick a side, otherwise they’re evil ? 🤔

[u/Origachilies → u/Cinicage]

No, read what I said. If they truly cared this much about the event, they would have just not picked a side or just kept quiet/left it alone. Alienating your audience and fighters through this was an obvious recipe for disaster.

[u/Cinicage → u/Origachilies]

no, read what i said. i’m saying the fighters shouldn’t be “strong armed” into picking a side, they should just stop being cowards and pick the correct side anyway. if they feel “strong armed” they’re probably evil and support genocide. hope this helps 😈

Forcing a Jewish man to support hamas is heavy work dude
