Jack Catterall and Harlem Eubank are set to face off in a big-money boxing match on July 5 at the AO Arena in Manchester. The fight will put a million-dollar purse on the line for the two British fighters.
Catterall, a world title contender with a record of 30 wins and 2 losses, could earn up to $750,000 from the fight. His potential earnings include a base purse, incentives from pay-per-view sales, and sponsorship bonuses. Catterall's net worth stands at $2.5 million, and he's got sponsorship deals with Everlast and Gymshark.
Eubank, the nephew of boxing legend Chris Eubank Sr., comes into the fight with an undefeated record of 21 wins. He's looking at a potential payday between $250,000 and $400,000, depending on how well the event does commercially. Eubank's current net worth is $1.2 million, and he's sponsored by Adidas.
The total projected revenue for the event is over $2 million. DAZN will broadcast the fight, with Matchroom Boxing's Eddie Hearn promoting the event. Hearn's banking on the domestic rivalry, the Eubank family name, and social media buzz to drive interest.
For Catterall, this fight is crucial. He's looking to get back on track for a world title shot after a defeat in February 2025. Eubank, on the other hand, faces the biggest test of his career. He's out to prove that his surname is more than just a marketing tool.
"This is a huge opportunity for both fighters," said Eddie Hearn. "Catterall's got the experience, but Eubank's got that family pedigree. It's going to be a cracker."
The purse disparity between the two fighters shows the gap in their experience levels. There's also a chance that pay-per-view expectations might not be met if the fight doesn't create the media impact that's hoped for.
Chris Eubank Sr. will be in his nephew's corner, adding another layer of interest to the event. Manchester's getting ready for the spectacle, with fight day promising boxing glory, big money, and career advancement for both men.
The success of this event will depend on how well the pay-per-view does and whether the fight lives up to the hype. One thing's for sure - on July 5, all eyes in the boxing world will be on Manchester.
