Similarly, for Liam Smith, let’s look at his previous bout against Hassan Mwakinyo. Smith allegedly took home a purse of $800,000 against Mwakinyo. However, since Mwakinya was not as high profile as Smith’s previous opponent, there is no breakup available for his purse.
Despite this, we know that Smith earned a reported $500,000 guaranteed purse against Jesse Vargas before Mwakinyo. Therefore, we can estimate that the figure will be in a similar region. So, against Chris Eubank Jr., Liam Smith could take home a purse of more than $2 million, including PPV share.
