Katie Taylor faces Amanda Serrano in their blockbuster rematch on the Paul-Tyson undercard

And now the Irish hero will have to do it all over again in front of a packed AT&T stadium.

The champ will have the momentum after avenging her May 2023 loss against Chantelle Cameron with a stunning win in the rematch later on that year.

Furthermore, she’ll have more of an incentive to retain her title following the announcement of the record-breaking fight purse.

What is the Taylor vs Serrano fight purse?

The official purse for Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano has not yet been revealed, but due to the sheer magnitude of the event, it is destined to be a big payday.

Reports have claimed that Taylor will receive the largest fight purse in women’s boxing history, seeing her earn in excess of £4.6million ($6.1m).

This fee will see Jake Paul‘s MVP promotions smash Katie Taylor’s last fight purse, which saw her earn between £1-3m.

In the main event between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, they will both be taking home an astonishing £30m each ($40m).

What’s been said?

When reports surfaced surrounding the fight purse for Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano 2, the Puerto Rican fighter took to X (formally Twitter) to reply to the rumours.

She cheekily quoted an X post about the reports saying: “Mine is bigger lol.”

Taylor could be in for an even bigger payday after making an outrageous bet with Jake Paul after she was challenged to “put your money where your mouth is.”

Taylor backed Tyson in the main event and said: “You can never bet against a legend.”

The comments seemed to annoy Jake Paul who then said: “When I see dumb people saying dumb predictions, I just feel bad for them.”

Paul walked around all the boxers on stage at the press conference and challenged them with his money comment.

Paul turned to Taylor, saying: “Oh wait, I forgot Katie Taylor back here.”

After he asked her “how much do you want to bet?” she repeated the question back to him, with Paul replying “as much as you want. I’m not losing, no shot in hell.”

Taylor then suggested they “bet your purse” with Paul – who will earn a staggering $40m (£31m) from the fight – agreeing to the terms before declaring: “I’m sending out contracts, too!”
