Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn Market Breakdown

Updated 2 July 2025, 15:30 BST

British boxing is bracing for another stadium-sized showdown as Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn sign contracts for Saturday 20 September 2025 in London. The final venue will be either Wembley Stadium or Tottenham Hotspur Stadium depending on the autumn football schedule, but Matchroom Boxing, Turki Al‑Alshikh’s General Entertainment Authority, Sky Sports Box Office and DAZN have already agreed commercial terms. 

Below you will find an in-depth market analysis of the first fight, projected numbers for the sequel and essential undercard information.

Why Eubank vs Benn 2 Matters for the Boxing Business

The first bout on 26 April 2025 shattered several domestic benchmarks and proved that the Eubank‑Benn family feud still converted into hard cash. The sequel arrives with even more leverage: larger site‑fees, fresh storylines from the weight‑cut investigation to a prime time autumn slot, and will Eubank Sr be at the rematch?

Official Attendance and Gate Receipts for Eubank v Benn 1

  • According to the host-stadium report 67,484 people were in attendance, making it the second biggest domestic fight ever, with only AJ at Wembley beating it.
  • The total income from the 67K people is rumoured to be around £16.8–17 million, thanks to premium ringside packages that peaked at £1 200.
  • Ticket demand: 60 000 seats disappeared inside 24 hours during the April pre‑sale, setting the stage for an even faster sell‑out when September tickets launch.

Pay-Per-View Performance

An estimated 620,000 UK buys on PPV priced £19.95. With a promoter estimating 1.1 Million worldwide PPV buys. This would put the gross revenue for PPV in the range of £12.4–21.9 million depending on which figure you believe. Expectation for the sequel: a price rise to £24.95 has been floated, and makes sense if the fight carries the same energy as the first. If buys hold at 600 000 domestic, revenue would climb toward £15 million even before international markets.

Broadcast and Social Reach

Neither Sky nor DAZN released a verified peak, but industry monitoring companies quoted a linear‑TV high of 1.4 million households. Online, the hashtags #EubankBenn and #FatalFury generated 20.3 billion impressions in 48 hours – three times Anthony Joshua’s 2023 homecoming. Those metrics have convinced sponsors and fans-alike that the rematch is a risk‑free buy.

Benn vs Eubank purse split – Purse Structure and Penalties

  • Disclosed purse split last time: Eubank £10 million & Benn £8 million.
  • Weight‑miss fines: £375 000 deducted from Eubank and a £100 000 misconduct penalty issued by the BBBofC.
  • September projections: both sides are believed to have a 55/45 split in Eubank’s favour with upside pay depending on PPV tiers. Both purses will be larger this time due to the success of the first fight.

Key Storylines to Drive Hype for Eubank v Benn 2

  1. Legacy – Eubank insists victory cements his place above his father’s ’90s fame, while Benn views redemption as a final step out of Nigel Benn’s shadow.
  2. Weight‑cut controversy – The BBBofC inquiry into sauna use could hand Benn moral leverage and create pre‑fight drama.
  3. Middleweight crossroads – A decisive win positions the victor for Canelo Alvarez, Janibek Alimkhanuly or even Jaime Munguia in 2026.
  4. Stadium records – Promoters openly target the 90 000 paid record held by Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Klitschko.
