Amanda Serrano wants to prove she is the best in Katie Taylor fight
Eddie Hearn has told Jake Paul that he would accept an offer of $10million to fight him in the boxing ring.
Hearn and Paul are co-promoting the historic undisputed title clash between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden in New York. The pair were placed head-to-head during a face-off with both men in opposite corners for the main event.
The Matchroom Boxing promoter has claimed any boxing event between the pair would do "huge numbers" but has admitted he cannot fight. “It would be massive!," Hearn said during. face-off with Paul. "In the UK, there’s so many people that want to see me get knocked out. It would do like two million pay-per-view buys in the UK. And if I lose the bet, then I’ll take $10m to fight Jake Paul, and I just take the UK pay-per-view. He can have all the other revenue around the world."
Paul then interjected: “You know if we fought, it’d be 30 seconds.” Hearn then responded: "I disagree. It would be a big favour. I’m terrible. But like I said, for $10 million, I’d do it.” Paul is eyeing a return to the ring in August in what would be his sixth professional appearance in the ring.
The YouTube star has a growing reputation in the sport having recorded KO of the year for his highlight-reel stoppage of Tyron Woodley last December. Hearn promoted Paul's boxing debut
