Comments Thread For: Amanda Serrano signs lifetime agreement with MVP

Unfortunately women's boxing doesn't have much of a future after Katie Taylor retires so Amanda will have a tough job keeping any eyes or promoters interested. Katie is female boxing and the only reason real boxing fans tuned into the women's game.

Haaa when ignorance leads the way look further than this clown

Sounds like you say it often ; boxing is dying

It's unfortunate I have to explain what been known in European boxing means but anyway I'll explain it. Obviously football crazy Barcelona or real Madrid supporters may never have heard of Katie Taylor, that's probably because they're football crazy and don't watch boxing, on the other hand go to any amateur boxing countries which are steeped in amateur boxing and you will absolutely meet many who will know who Katie Taylor is, she was world and European gold medalist 11 or 12 times and beat the best Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Russian, polish, British, French and many other European fighters. That's just her amateur career. Katie Taylor would be known and recognized in nearly every boxing gym in Europe. The US probably wouldn't have the amateur pedigree that Europe has so Katie Taylor would most probably be known in the US from her professional career. Anyone who sells out the garden is pretty much a house hold name in boxing in the US. Serrano never fought in front of 3 thousand paying fans before Katie Taylor came on the scene. My statement stands, Katie Taylor is known on both sides of the Atlantic and further, Serrano would be known in New York and Puerto Rico. Serrano is known better today than 5 years ago but only because she lost twice to the world's best female fighter.

Truer words have never been spoken.

We Americans love to say things like Tom Brady or Wayne Gretzky or Babe Ruth are a global superstars. The GOATS in these United Shores.
When I mention guys like Ronaldo, Messi, or Maradona, I’m usually met with puzzled looks. And then the rebuttal arguments ensue. We live in our own bubble.

It's a good move for her, Jake Paul is mostly a douche but I think he genuinely cares about her.
