Eubank Jr. expected to pocket $4M for Golovkin fight

Eubank aint even as popular in the UK as GGG is in America. Yes, he is.

Unfortunately...Brook is yet to sign his end of the contract, team Vargas tied up their end a month ago. Kell Brook is apparently unhappy with his split. I don't blame him and my opinion was the same for the Walters vs Loma situation, for what is considered "Big Fights" the fighters should be rewarded handsomely for big fights so that they can continue to step up and fight the best. But if they're being asked to fight the best for just a few 100K more than what they usually make then yes you will see guys continue to "Duck" and "Cherry Pick" until they get the offer they can refuse

Hey haters, It is $4 million because of PPV in the UK. GGG-Jacobs is not PPV anywhere. GGG-Eubank Jr is PPV in UK. BJS cannot be PPV in UK as boxnation does not have PPV. Right ^^^... (posters outside the UK know very little about the sport's environment there.) Boxnation do sell PPVs for every event they cover, price £30. But you get exactly the same access with a monthly subscription, which only cost £12. You just have to remember to ring in and cancel your subscription before the end of the month, if you only want to watch that one event. Subscribing to Boxnation to watch a fight is the same as PPV, really. But Hearn has a huge reach advantage over Warren when comes to plugging and selling his PPV fights to the casual fans. Just about everybody in the UK watches Sky Sports, but Boxnation is watched by boxing fans only. Eddie Hearn's monster reach is the reason why Eubank Jnr can earn $3/4 for fighting Golovkin in the UK, while BJS would only earn half as much.

Jr is already a big draw. The name, the style, the persona...it all comes together to generate £££'s. He isn't a big draw, his biggest headline event has been a british title fight. But I like the guy, he is willing to walk the walk. I hope this fight does him good although I can't imagine how getting stopped will make him a star.

Jnr is getting paid and he ain't even a known commodity, 3 million quid is around 5 million dollars. Damn. Good pay to get stopped. Jr came to Hearn precisely for this fight. And Hearn's money will result from Jr's purse -- hence the "generosity".

Do you know how much he's making ? I read that vargas was supposed to make more than him crazy if true Vargas is reportedly making $1.7 million which is his highest purse and way more than Kell's ever made. However bringing over foreign fighters and especially champions is very expensive and Brook needs to comprise. He will likely get a PPV upside too and it will be his highest purse so he needs to stop the greed.

Do you know how much he's making ? I read that vargas was supposed to make more than him crazy if true Gonna be even harder for him to accept after this Eubank purse

EXACTLY! If he give them a reason to travel they will come and their promoters will allow it but if he tried to gt them to go to the UK for Cheap and fight then no people will not travel for a Purse they can make in the States if not More. I'm American in the US but I will be honest, I enjoy the Atmosphere for fights in the UK a lot more because the fans are into it, it just comes off better and it feels like a big fight and a special moment when the fans are100% into the fight Getting the Vargas fight in the UK as well as GGG vs Eubank is a major win for HIM!

And what better way to cement UK's status than to get renowned opponents to fight in front of the UK public against his stable? This is why Hearn is salivating for Wilder vs. Joshua in the UK, and I can't blame him. The only thing better than a 'domestic dust-up' is having someone of GGG's caliber fighting against a promising young talent. EXACTLY!

Chris Eubank Jnr to sign a seven-figure deal to fight Gennady Golovkin https://t.co/s6HLQkyrRz via @MailSport— Chris Eubank Jr (@ChrisEubankJr) June 30, 2016

The only thing better than a 'domestic dust-up' is having someone of GGG's caliber fighting against a promising young talent. How was the hype for the Klitschko/Fury rematch? Hearn said it was pretty flat.

Exactly what I was going to post! With fight fans being so inconsistent in the US it would be too risky to put up that type of money for a fight in the US not knowing for sure if you can make it back and and profit from Ticket Sells and PPV Buys. In the UK vs Eubank I think it is a far better chance they make their money back and a profit That would be HUGE for the UK especially for Eddie Hearn who wants to make the UK the new Mecca of boxing as he talked about Boxing in the US will have a dry spell and I think he is rigt it will be a struggle for awhile in the US until something interesting comes along that can grab and keep the attention of Casuals And what better way to cement UK's status than to get renowned opponents to fight in front of the UK public against his stable?

K2 doesn't have to make the offer. Haymon can easily do it if Jacobs really wants it.

£4 million is a 'estimate'... If the fight gets made i'd be surprised if Eubanks walked away with more than £2 million. Still a very, very decent figure for someone who has not fought above domestic level. The Eubanks wanted a guaranteed purse and that's what stalled the contract signing, with PPV upside I'd expect them to make more.

Incorrect. He's quite despised & un-liked actually. Joshua, Frampton & Selby are way more popular. Even B level Burns & Bellew are more popular! So was the kid he beat last time out too! I have no clue how well-known Eubank is compared to his UK contemporaries, but popularity doesn't always equal likability. Eubank does have an entertaining style, and if many find him detestable, then they'll probably come out to see GGG smack him around. We know that the Eubanks will do best to sell this fight.
