Ebanie Bridges, an accomplished Australian boxing champion known for holding the IBF female bantamweight championship, recently stood up for her choice to generate income through OnlyFans despite facing criticism from a faction of her supporters. Ebanie Bridges, an accomplished Australian boxing champion known for holding the IBF female bantamweight championship, recently stood up for her choice to generate income through OnlyFans despite facing criticism from a faction of her supporters.
Bridges took to her social media platforms to discuss how using OnlyFans has brought her financial benefits, underlining the independence it provides by not relying solely on boxing promoters for her income.
Bridges went on Twitter to give everyone an earful about the criticism she's been dealing with. She's upset that people are coming at her when loads of other fighters are doing the same thing without catching heat. "People complain I do OnlyFans - even though SO MANY BOXERS (female and male) ALSO DO ONLYFANS," Bridges wrote.
The boxer emphasized the financial benefits of her OnlyFans presence, stating that it provides more income than her boxing career. She explained that the platform offers financial stability, especially during periods when fights are scarce. "Boxing doesn't pay, especially when you don't get fights," Bridges noted.
Bridges also addressed the content of her OnlyFans page, describing it as a place where fans can see her personal life exclusively. She contrasted this with her public social media accounts, which she says reveal little about her daily activities or private life.
The Australian fighter expressed frustration with what she sees as double standards in the criticism she receives. She argued that other boxers using OnlyFans don't face the same level of judgment or scrutiny.
She's not the only fighter cashing in on these subscription sites to make some extra money. Even Paige VanZant from the UFC has said OnlyFans is bringing in more income than her fighting career ever did.
The growing number of professional fighters using sites like OnlyFans has started many conversations about how boxers and MMA athletes can earn money outside of their main sport. This trend has people talking about different ways fighters can make a living beyond just competing.
With 9 wins and 2 losses under her belt, Bridges is juggling her time in the ring with her side hustle online. Her comments shed light on the evolving landscape of athlete income and the complex relationship between sports, personal branding, and public opinion.
