When it comes to the November 15 card at Dallas Cowboys’ Stadium, the Mike Tyson–Jake Paul showdown continues to hog the focus. It’s understandable. When does one come across a clash between a 58-year-old boxing great and a 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer? But there are fans for whom the rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano remains the event showstopper. The two champions regroup after their history-making fight at the Madison Square Garden in April 2022.

Followers are expecting another thriller from the duo. Serrano lost the last fight by a whisker. So now she has a chance to exact her revenge. Since there are still two more weeks to go, the hype around the fight should soar. Already, news about the paycheck seems to have drawn considerable interest among the followers. It started when reports of Taylor’s guaranteed purse surfaced. The details left the boxing world flabbergasted. But just when things started settling, Amanda Serrano appeared. If what she posted turns out to be true, then we’re in for another record-making fight.

Amanda Serrano: Hang tight; there’s something exciting I want to share

‘The Real Deal’ was actually responding to a Boxing Kingdom post. “Katie Taylor will receive the largest pay day in the history of women’s boxing when she fights Amanda Serrano in a rematch on November 15th. Katie will make in excess of $6.1M US. The event promoter is Jake Paul’s MVP Promotions,” the initial tweet read.

However, Serrano, it appears, wasn’t so impressed. Laughing out, she replied, “Mine is bigger.” The unified super featherweight champion may not be completely off the mark. For one, the Tyson-Paul card is taking place at the high-profile AT&T Stadium, which has a seating capacity of nearly 80,000. In light of the interest the match has generated, many anticipate a full house on November 15. Then one shouldn’t forget that non-attendees have the opportunity to see the fights through the Netflix subscription.

Considering the worldwide span of the streaming behemoth, it is expected that millions would turn on their devices to view the fight. Both Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are two of the most well-recognized flag bearers of women’s boxing. So given their achievements and contributions, an incremental increase in purse should follow the natural course of progression.

Where it began, where it stands now

It was indeed the ‘biggest women’s fight of all time.’ For the first time, a women’s fight headlined an event at the famed Madison Square Garden. The Sports Illustrated’s ‘2022 Fight of Year’ ended in the Irish icon’s favor. Per the available reports, at the time both Taylor and Serrano received a six-figure guaranteed purse each. Keeping aside the 20,000 spectators at the venue, nearly 1.5 million caught the match on DAZN. So their overall take-home would have increased following the addition of the PPV revenue. It was an unheard of payday in women’s boxing.

The champions could have squared off last year. However, following an injury, Amanda Serrano was forced to pull out. Two years have passed since the epic duel at the MSG. Precise details about her fight purse remain unclear. But the fact is she made her claim with such an elan. So if one wishes to believe what she said, the overall payout of both must be an impressive figure.

One should remember that what some of the women champions have received in the past and currently is nowhere closer to what Floyd Mayweather Jr., Manny Pacquiao, or Canelo Alvarez have earned. So women’s boxing has definitely reached a level where the money at least stands on par with what some male champions receive. However, there are still many miles to go.

Do you feel that Amanda Serrano would be able to avenge her 2022 defeat?
