Two Solana meme coin creators engaged in a boxing match on a livestream, aiming to boost their coin's market cap. The fight, promoted on Pump.fun, was intended to propel the coin to a $30,000 market cap for exposure on the site. The match ended abruptly when a tooth was knocked out, and despite attempts to continue, the coin failed to reach its target. The livestream attracted only four viewers. The boxers' future plans remain uncertain.
The world's top boxers can make millions of dollars per fight. In a lower-stakes matchup, two Solana meme coin creators smacked each other around on a livestream, with dreams of their coin perhaps rising to hit a million-dollar market cap amid viral buzz. Unfortunately, they were brought back to reality when a tooth went flying.
Posted in the early hours of the morning, FriendlyFadesLive popped up on Pump.fun—the streamlined platform used to launch meme-driven Solana tokens. It’s the latest instance of a growing trend of meme coins being driven by livestreamed stunts. To promote this particular token, FADELIVE, two young men faced off in balaclavas, wearing Everlast boxing gloves and sparring in a tiled dining room rather than a legit boxing ring.
While Tyson Fury will be fighting Alexander Usyk to become the undisputed heavyweight champion this weekend, this clash was billed by the devs as “two of the deadliest fighters battling it out to see who takes over Solana.” After only a couple minutes of livestreaming on Kick, the token was crowned king of the hill on Pump.fun—a featured spot reserved for tokens that hit a $30,000 market cap.
For 20 seconds, the two amateur brawlers threw right hand after right hand. In this first fight, it appeared that the fighter in the red shorts got the better of his Nike gray tracksuit-wearing opponent—landing a clean straight shot that signaled the end of the round.
When a Pump.fun token reaches a market cap of $69,000, it can be listed on Raydium, a Solana decentralized exchange (DEX)—so the devs’ eyes were set on a new prize. “Pump it up, pump it up boys,” the gray tracksuit boxer cried. The chat filled with viewers demanding that they continue fighting.
The men strapped their gloves up and began another 20-second round, this time with both hands in play. It was like watching Max Holloway in the last seconds of a fight, as both brawlers stood nose-to-nose and swung for the fences. Unfortunately, the round was cut short when red shorts’ unplugged his Xbox with poor footwork, after being backed into a corner.
Red shorts dominated early on, landing a stiff jab followed by a strong right hook, and then a slapping left hook—an effective combination. Gray tracksuit was wobbled, defending for his life as red shorts left striking range. Still flustered, gray tracksuit threw some strikes, yet hit nothing but air. In the next flurry, red shorts landed a nasty three-piece combo that had his opponent backing off.
The toothless fighter appears to walk out of the room, likely in search of a mirror. It sounds like it was one of his back teeth that fell victim to his friend’s vicious striking. Amid laughs in chat, the boxers' morale appeared to change. Possible brain damage aside, the pair managed to amass only four viewers on Kick, and they didn’t even get their token to Raydium.
It’s unknown whether the pair plan to fight again in the future. The Twitter and Kick livestream accounts associated with the token are still up, so perhaps there will be a rematch ahead. But for now, it appears that red shorts is the world boxing champion of Solana.
