‘Do you think I want to do business with liars?’ – Serrano calls for Taylor offer
It’s starting to get complicated, but Amanda Serrano claims it could be as simple as a good offer being put on the table.
The seven-weight world champion is adamant she wants to fight Katie Taylor in what both fighters claim is the ‘biggest fight in female boxing’ and is content to do it next if needs be.
However, she seems frustrated and feels she is being messed around by both her promoter Lou DiBella and Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn.
The line out there at present is that the controversial Puerto Rican signed a three fight deal with DAZN and in that deal there was a ‘fight Taylor clause’.
The idea was both fighters would have two fights allowing Serrano time to make history by winning a world title at a seventh weight, which she managed to do earlier this year, whilst it would permit the Bray star to secure undisputed status, which she too managed on June 1.
Both promoters have been vocal about the fact that three fight contract exists and has been signed, indeed Team Taylor claim they have seen it, but Serrano has suggested she hasn’t received a contract’ from her promoter.
I don’t read most of these articles because they aren’t accurate. I NEVER RECEIVED AN AGREEMENT CONTRACT FROM MY PROMOTER TILL THIS DAY. He can’t tell me what I’m fighting for! He needs to negotiate with me before going & agreeing on my behalf. Where’s my copy of this agreement?

The 30-year-old has also bemoaned she hasn’t got the second fight in the three fight agreement presented to her and has hit out at both promoters.
Nah! When I was offered the 3 fights she & I both had 2 fights lined up then ours against eachother. She got her 2 I only got 1. This is the bull crap games Promoters play MINE Included. Everything is I’ll let you know next week but they forget to say of what yr next week?

I was offered 3 fights & Not fulfilled do you think I want to do business with Liers? They honored her but not me WHY? I want what I was offered in fights as for the purse I need to know what it is Not @loudibella & @EddieHearn on their own. None of them are the ones fighting.

However, the bottom line is Serrano wants the mega fight and obviously the career best paid day it should generate – and she has called for an offer to be put on the table so it can be made.
I just speak the truth! I want the fight Katie wants the fight, The fans want the fight but the Promoters just want the Money. If it’s the Biggest female fight & both girls are willing FIND THE SOLUTION. That’s why they are The So Called Promoters. Do your job PROMOTE!

Im just waiting for my offer & it’s done. I was offered a 3 fight deal that hasn’t been fulfilled yet Katie is always fighting. I know how this game is played so it won’t last very long for them. I have many things going on. If they want it bring it

The Serrano fight is a clash Taylor and her team have been vocal about wanting over the years and by all accounts they are more than happy to have it this year.
