Fans Eagerly Awaiting Rematch
Liam Smith and Chris Eubank Jr, the two boxing rivals, are set to face off once again this weekend. After their intense match in Manchester earlier this year, fans are eager to see how their second fight will play out.
Big Money Rematch
One of the biggest questions on fight fans' minds is how much Liam Smith and Chris Eubank Jr will be paid for their rematch. According to reports, Eubank Jr earned an estimated £2.4million for the first fight, with £1m guaranteed before pay-per-view sales. Smith, on the other hand, took home £970,000, with £404,000 initially guaranteed.
Purses Likely to Stay Similar
Despite the anticipation for the rematch, it's unlikely that there will be a drastic change in the fighters' purses. The terms for the second showdown were already settled, so the numbers will likely remain fairly consistent. However, Smith may receive a bump in pay as he is now considered the A-side of the fight after defeating Eubank Jr in their previous encounter.
Eubank Jr Seeks Revenge
Chris Eubank Jr is determined to avenge his loss and believes he is still the better fighter. In an interview with Sky Sports' The Gloves Are Off, he stated, "Just because he has a win over me, I'm not going to become a different guy. He has a win over me, I have to pull it off in this fight. If I don't, like I told him before - `hat comes off, you are the better man. As of right now, though, I don't believe he is."
Smith Confident in his Victory
Liam Smith, however, is confident in his abilities and believes he is the better man. He fired back at Eubank Jr, saying, "But I am, though. As of right now, aren't I?" The Liverpool native is prepared to prove himself once again and silence any doubts about his skills.
