He said, “I gave him his debut as a fighter, it’s my fault this whole thing.” 

“One of the reasons why we were so successful was because I was young, and I could attract the younger generation.” 

Adding about ‘The Problem Child’s success, Hearn added “It’s the same with what he’s doing, but he’s got a platform, much bigger than I ever had.”

Amanda Serrano is the biggest fighter, the YouTuber has under the MVP banner. That said, ‘The Problem Child’ gave Serrano the biggest stage to perform in his last two fights. Serrano fought on the co-main event on both Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley fights, getting some sound attention around herself.

However, Jake Paul had a bigger picture in the mind and he wanted to line Serrano up against Taylor for the undisputed lightweight title. That said, the talks between Hearn and Paul went well, resulting in Serrano vs Taylor fight getting finalized.
