Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will face off again at Madison Square Garden in 2022 .

The fight will be the first time two women headlining a fight card each earned seven -figure fight purses.

The event was a rousing success at the box office and in viewership, with 1.5 million watching on DAZN .

Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are getting the two biggest purses that women's boxing has ever received.

The financial floor for boxers starting their career is low for men and women.

The earning potential for men outpaces women by a significant amount.

Lou DiBella : "There's no place for a woman who comes out of the amateurs or competes in the Olympics to develop her talent".

Ebanie Bridges and Cherneka "Sugar Neekz" Johnson have struggled to stay active due to a lack of opponents and low paydays.

Bridges: "I got offered a world title fight in 2020 for f---ing $ 3,000 " Johnson : "You can't survive off one fight a year getting paid what we are" Johnson is not optimistic that Taylor-Serrano 2 will have an immediate effect on women's boxing.
