"I’m going to do everything in my power to make that fight the biggest female boxing fight in the history of the sport and a historic moment."The YouTube star, who started exhibition boxing in 2019, also spoke well on women's boxing and pay disparities in the sport. Serrano and Taylor will definite appreciate his comments.
"She’s put in thousands and hundreds of hours in the gym and she deserves the big payday that she’s going to get. She deserves to be able to retire from boxing and not work again. "That hasn’t been the case for women’s boxing, they’ve been underpaid and taken advantage of and it’s an amazing accomplishment for me to be able to help her and she’s such an awesome person."
"I don't think anyone is getting paid like Katie but, in the same hand, she is... [unifying] all the belts in her weight division, she's an Olympic gold medallist and she's not getting paid like a man. "And it goes back to what you said - that women should be grateful [that the situation is improving]. I'm sure she has this blanket over her head, of feeling, 'I'm still making more than every other woman'. "But it still isn't right. No freedom 'til we're equal, man!"Should the Serrano vs. Taylor [or Taylor vs. Serrano, take your pick!] fight get the go-ahead, both women would be set for the biggest pay-days of their storied boxing careers. There will be world titles up for grabs, too, but a highly placed fight on a strong card, at Madison Square Garden, could set them both up for life.
