"I am a woman for equality. We are making history at the Garden, we are the first women to headline. We are making the biggest payday!"Women's boxing is currently contested over 10 rounds with 2 minutes per round. Serrano wants equality within the ruleset. "If Katie Taylor is willing, I'm ready and able to make this an equal fight, 12 rounds, three minutes."
"I don't really feel like that will make much of a difference, the event is already iconic the way it is. The fact that the pre-sales are the second-best in history says it all really. This fight is more important than we even realise." "The winner of this fight is gonna be the best pound-for-pound female fighter in the world."While Serrano and Taylor did their part to tee-up their April bout, it was Paul that spoke with real focus and passion on fair pay for all boxers, and doing all he can to increase the spotlight on female fighters.
"I can help for sure but it's all credit to the women. I'm just here to help in any way that I can as a friend and somebody who cares about Amanda Serrano." he said. "The list is too long. Fighter pay is another big thing across the board for both women and men. Boxers are the content creators, they are the ones getting in there and putting on the show." "I've heard so many horror stories about fighters fighting for peanuts... they are the ones putting their bodies on the line."This is not the first time Jake Paul has stepped forward to make a case for paying female fighters more. One thing is for sure, both Taylor and Serrano are set to smash all previous women's boxing pay records once this bout is said and done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxTPV7T3e4s
