There's this clip that was floating around recently of her talking about how her pay never reflecting the amount of tickets she was personally responsible for selling, because boxing didn't appreciate women... to the point that she crossed over to MMA (and famously took a beating). One can only imagine how much better she'd be at boxing if she was properly paid and focused on it solely. Reportedly, both her and Serrano, who also does MMA, got paid very well for this fight (relatively speaking). That was definitely a selling point for her in taking this fight, so when you say she was just happy to be getting the fight, I'm sure she was. I guess at some point it's not even about the title anymore and she's gotta feed her daughter and get paid what she's worth.
Anyway, here's the clip:
