Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn's mega purses have been revealed as contract details have emerged ahead of their grudge match.

Eubank Jr. and Benn will finally settle their long-standing rivalry on Saturday when they meet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

They were originally scheduled to fight in October 2022 until the bout was cancelled when Benn failed two drug tests, with their rearranged showdown facing calls to be cancelled.

Barring any last-minute dramas, Eubank Jr. vs. Benn is just days away.

Boxing promoters Eddie Hearn and Ben Shalom held crunch talks to make the blockbuster clash as they eventually agreed on a 55-45 split in favour of Eubank Jr.

The total purse for the all-British bout, which will be aired on DAZN pay-per-view and Sky Sports Box Office, is believed to be a whopping £18 million.

Reports indicate that Eubank Jr. will pocket a staggering £10 million, while Benn is in line to earn a cool £8 million.

Powerful Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh helped strike a deal between both parties as he acted as a middle man, stumping up the cash.

Speaking in a press conference during their media tour earlier this year, Eubank Jr. revealed his shock at the purse he was able to negotiate.

"Many of you would have heard Eddie boasting about a 60-40 split he secured for Conor," he said.

"That's just an absolute lie, which is not surprising. The truth of it is, Uncle Turki flew in and saved the day like the superhero he is.

"This is the Saudi show, he called me and said, "What do you want to make this fight?'"

The 35-year-old asked for a 'diabolical' number, which he received. He added: "I'm sitting there thinking, 'I've got to be a businessman now', and any good businessman in any negotiation, starts with an aggressively high number, then there are counter offers and negotiating and you get to the number.

Advert

"I gave him a diabolical number, I gave him an inconceivable number, and he said, 'Done, I'll send you the contract on Monday'. I'm thinking I could have got more, or a couple of watches out of him!

"There is no split, there are no percentages, you lied to the public in front of everybody and now I'm setting this straight."
