Boxing promoters love to talk big, but when it comes to actually paying female fighters what they deserve? That’s where things get sketchy—like how Marvel rakes in billions, but its VFX artists barely get a fair deal. For years, women’s boxing has been sidelined, grinding for fair pay while the old-school promoters raked in the cash like they’re Scrooge McDuck. Now? Well, Jake Paul is kinda flipping the script—calling out the industry and working like a messiah for female athletes.

It’s not even been a couple of days since he announced that Amanda Serrano will become the highest-paid woman in sports history for a single event in July. Now, the way things are shaping up, it looks like the social media star-turned-boxer is not going to stop here. The reason? On March 6, The Problem Child hit up his official Instagram handle and took a jab at other boxing promoters.

He shared a beautiful note for the women athletes with a direct shot at other promoters’ reputations in his IG story. “BIGGEST IN WOMEN’S SPORTS HISTORY. Unlike some old and new promoters in boxing, MVP has, does & will always champion women as equals to men, treating them w/ supreme respect & never compromising on those values. Congratulations to all involved,” the 28-year-old boxer wrote in his story.

Ouch! Let’s be real—love him or hate him, Jake Paul is surely shaking things up after several female boxers have raised their voices for the paycheck they actually deserve. Take Claressa Shields, for instance. The pro boxer has been a two-time Olympic gold medalist and a world champion across multiple weight classes. Her paycheck? Ooh, that’s where things get shady. Even her promoter pointed out that TV and streaming deals are 10 to 20 times more lucrative for male boxers than female.

And that’s not all. Remember Michelle Preston when she got frustrated with the boxing promoters back in 2012? Yeah, the pioneering boxer believed that female boxers are often marginalized by promoters and that promoters see them as a novelty. Enter Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, and suddenly, it seems like the guy’s out there to invest in female boxers. Because, let’s be obvious—we’re about to see Serrano become the highest-paid woman in sports history, even if it’s just for one event.

Amanda Serrano to take the crown from Ronda Rousey

Mark 11th July as the day when Amanda Serrano will take the crown of highest-paid female fighter from Ronda Rousey. A record Rousey’s been holding for nine years now. Rousey dominated the Octagon and WWE for years. One of the many reasons why she got inducted into the Hall of Fame at both WWE and UFC. Her net worth? A sweet $14M—thanks to 6 years of her MMA career.

But now, Serrano is gearing up to surpass her as she’s ready to fight with Katie Taylor for the third time. On Thursday, Jake Paul hopped on to his official ‘X’ handle and shared a picture of himself with the MVP’s first signee, Serrano. And guess what? The social media star-turned-boxer just announced a hefty paycheck for Serrano. “When Amanda Serrano enters the ring on July 11th, she will become the highest-paid woman in sports history for a single event. ALL SPORTS. Ronda Rousey had the record previously,” he wrote.

You see, during her last fight with Amanda Nunes back in 2016, Rousey stacked up a pretty $4.8M. Now, according to Paul, Serrano is expected to earn around $4.5M or above for fighting Taylor in July. No wonder Rousey must be side-eyeing Serrano right about now. Anyway, Paul also revealed that adding PPV payout, brand sponsorships, etc., her paycheck might surpass a lucrative $5M figure.

And here’s the kicker: During her last bout with Taylor, Serrano apparently earned $8M. Now, according to Irish Mirror, the base salary of this trilogy can go higher than $8M—feels like she just found Willy Wonka’s golden ticket. That said, one thing’s for sure: Jake Paul and Amanda Serrano are creating history when it comes to paydays for female fighters.
