Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano 2 paydays revealed as Jake Paul helps make richest fighter in women’s boxing history

Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are set to land record-breaking paydays when the two meet again on Friday.

Taylor and Serrano will go head-to-head for the IBF, WBC and WBO super-lightweight belts on the undercard of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson.

Serrano is out for revenge two years on from her defeat at Madison Square Garden in a bout dubbed as one of the greatest in women’s boxing history.

That contest earned the pair over $1m dollars but the rematch could see the two pocket even more second time round.

According to several sources, both boxers are line for huge sums, with defending champion Katie Taylor set to take home more than $6m – making it the largest pay day in the history of women’s boxing.

There is a chance that even more could be on the line, with Amanda Serrano claiming on X that she is in line to make more.

The Puerto Rican, who is part of Paul’s label Most Valuable Promotion, praised the 27-year-old for increasing the financial rewards in boxing after revealing she earned less than $1000 from her professional debut.

Jake Paul bets entire purse on Mike Tyson fight

Away from her own fight, Taylor could be in line for a second pay day after making quite the proposition with Paul.

After being asked for her prediction on his fight against ‘Iron’ Mike, the 38-year-old backed Tyson to do the business.

The former YouTuber then went around the press conference hall before reaching Taylor and betting his entire purse on the fight.

He started by saying: “How much do you want to bet?”

Although hesitant at first, the Bray-born star replied: “Do you want to bet your purse?”

He instantly shook her hand and said: “Yeah, let’s bet the purse. Deal.”

Paul is expected to make in the region of $40m from this fight meaning that a loss won’t just be bad for his ego, but also his bank account.
