Louis Taylor: Champion, Millionaire and Activist

Professional Fighters League middleweight champion Louis Taylor achieved his objective in the league’s first season. Boosted by the highest level of financial security he has ever had, his 2019 plans consist of fighting for more money in Season 2 and starting down a new path as an activist at home in Chicago, Illinois.

“Once you deposit [the checks], it’s like breaking a $100. Once you break it you know you’re going to spend it,” Taylor told Sherdog.com. While he hasn’t gotten around to cashing his checks from the PFL yet, Taylor is grateful for the new monetary comfort he has.
