Katie Taylor said she is hugely frustrated by the gender pay gap which exists in boxing. The Bray woman said if she was a male fighter who had achieved all she has in her 20-year career, she’d be “an absolute multi, multi, multi-millionaire”. “The inequalities are also still there within the pay gap as well,” Taylor said at the launch of the Lidl Ladies National Football League at Croke Park on Tuesday. “In my world, the best paid female fighters - probably myself and Amanda Serrano - are still far away off from the best male fighters. “I think we are making great, great progress in that area, but it's very, very slow and it's very, very frustrating to think if I was a male, I'd be an absolute multi, multi, multi-millionaire now.
