So if a rematch gets more views and better pay days for the combatants, that's a good thing. Those two deserve it.

The ladies apparently (rumoured) got paid 4 to 5 times the amount they were paid from the MSG fight. That's the real crime here because both the MSG fight and this one were incredible.
Eddie Hearn and Matchroom boxing manage Taylor and they couldn't pull this fight together...it was Jake Paul's company that did it.
Hopefully it gives further impetus to fair pay across genders and weight classes.
