The final installment of the trilogy between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano averaged nearly six million live viewers around the world, according to a press release from Most Valuable Promotions.
Taylor-Serrano III streamed on Netflix on Friday, July 11, headlining a show featuring solely female boxers, including several of the top names in the sport. Taylor’s successful defense of her junior welterweight crown was one of three undisputed championship fights during the event and one of five title bouts.
The card was the most-watched selection on Netflix that day in the United States, where an average of 4.2 million viewers watched the main event. It was also No. 1 on Netflix in Ireland (where Taylor is from), Australia (where undercard fighter Cherneka Johnson lives) and New Zealand (where Johnson was born). The event was in Netflix’s Top 10 in a total of 43 countries.
MVP says Taylor-Serrano III was the most-watched professional women’s sporting event of 2025, and had the second-highest audience for any women’s sporting event after the average of 8.5 million viewers who tuned in for this year’s NCAA women’s basketball championship game.
The second fight between Taylor and Serrano was also on Netflix, as the co-feature in last November’s huge event headlined by Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson.
According to Netflix’s announcement last year, Taylor-Serrano II averaged 50 million households (which is not the same thing as live viewers) worldwide. The show itself peaked at 65 million households globally.
As for the live gate on Friday, MVP announced a crowd of 19,721 people at Madison Square Garden and a gate of $2.63 million.
“Taylor vs. Serrano III wasn’t just a fight; it was the start of a movement for boxing and redefined what’s possible for women’s sports on a global stage,” said Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian of MVP in a statement. “Nearly six million people tuned in to witness history, with 4.2 million viewers in the U.S., which was more than this year’s Stanley Cup Final, the WNBA Final and the French Open Finals for both the women and men matches.
“At MVP, we’ve made it our mission to make women’s boxing a global force, and this is proof that the demand is there for premium content and only growing. The most viewed all-women's boxing or MMA event in history. We’re proud to have built the largest platform in the world for female fighters, and we’re just getting started.”
