Chris Eubank Jr, Conor Benn Match Sees 620,000 UK PPV Buys, Over 1 Million Worldwide

News summary

Chris Eubank Jr defeated Conor Benn via unanimous decision after a highly anticipated and contentious 12-round bout at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, ending Benn's 23-fight winning streak. The fight, marked by intense pre-fight drama—including Eubank Jr missing weight and a public rift with his father—was widely considered a 'fight of the year' contender. There is some discrepancy in reported pay-per-view numbers: promoter Eddie Hearn claims the event surpassed one million worldwide buys, while Ring Magazine and other sources cite around 620,000 buys, but all agree it was a commercial success. Both Sky Sports and DAZN broadcast the fight, and its popularity has already sparked discussions of a lucrative rematch, possibly later this year. Benn, after his first career defeat, expressed a strong desire for a rematch to avenge his loss. The event is being viewed as a possible blueprint for future global boxing pay-per-view success.
