Paul, Serrano’s promoter, claimed before their first meeting two years ago that the two men earned around $1 million each for their mega-fight.

And they were expected to win big again, with the huge event expected to generate significant revenue next month.

A social media post based on Irish media reports claimed Taylor would earn a career-high purse of $6.1 million for the second meet.

But Serrano responded to the post by replying: “But mine is bigger lol.”

That would be nearly $10 million if that claim were true, a monumental moment for women’s boxing.

A huge increase would be shown and would once again prove Paul’s support for Serrano and women’s boxing in general.

Paul has tried to increase the pay of Serrano’s fighters since he signed her to his Most Valuable Promotions label.

It’s no wonder both men are earning record-breaking purses, considering their action-packed performances at Madison Square Garden in the first contest.

Taylor took the lead with a gutsy performance, but will now walk away in front of 80,000 people at AT&T Stadium in Texas.

History will be made with the event being broadcast on streaming service Netflix, giving both men a huge platform to renew their rivalry.

Despite the positive reviews surrounding the women’s fight, Paul and Tyson were criticized for their confrontation.

Paul fights Tyson who is now 58 years old and far from his prime, which worries the boxing public.

And Taylor’s promoter Eddie Hearn felt he was unable to refuse the Irish star’s offer despite not agreeing with the main event.

“We negotiated the whole fight because it was the right opportunity to Katie Taylor” Hearn explained.

“It was the right offer and I want to thank DAZN for allowing us to have this sensible conversation to say ‘look, let’s let her win here and then we’ll come back for a great fight’.

“But at this stage of his career, when we get an offer like that, the right offer, we have to consider it.

“It has nothing to do with the main event. It’s just the right opportunity for my fighter, someone we care about a lot, someone who deserves everything from the sport of boxing.

“Financially it was a great opportunity, we love fighting, she wants to be in the biggest fights. It’s as simple as that.”

Paul and Tyson themselves are I expect to win big of the event.

It is estimated that both men could earn more than $20 million for this eight-round clash.
