Before joining MVP, Amanda Serrano, despite being one of the most decorated boxers in the sport, faced significant undervaluation and underpayment. According to Jake Paul, Serrano was fighting for meager amounts like $10,000 to $15,000, leaving him baffled. In a 2022 interview with Sun Sport, Paul revealed Serrano’s financial struggles and expressed his surprise at such low earnings.

He stated, “She was telling me at the time that she was fighting for $10,000, $15,000. So, it’s cool to finally see her get a seven-figure payday.” Recognizing Serrano’s status as one of the greatest fighters, Paul asserted she should have been earning “millions of dollars.” A few months ago, Serrano shared on Instagram that she has become the highest-earning female boxer globally.
