"I don't think she can sell out any stadium at all.
"I think I made her more money than she deserves, to be quite honest."
Cameron has long since been lobbying for a threequel against the Irishwoman.
Back in March, she accused Taylor of "running away scared" after hopes of a trilogy fight between the two fell through.

Shamrock Rovers claim Euro record win as Saints leave it late
Shamrock Rovers recorded their biggest ever away win in Europe with a thumping 4-0 victory over Gibraltarian minnows St Joseph's on Thursday night. Bradley's charges made the second leg of this UEFA Conference League second qualifying round tie a formality, with an early goal from Rory Gaffney and a flurry of three goals in nine minutes midway through the second half from Danny Mandriou, John McGovern and Jack Byrne sealed the 4-0 scoreline. In the 13th minute Gaffney raced onto a pass from Matt Healy and lobbed the onrushing goalkeeper. Rory Gaffney scores the opener for Shamrock Rovers. Pic: Salva Castizo/Sportsfile Stephen Bradley made a series of changes early in the second half, bringing on Jack Byrne and Aaron McEneff and three minutes later Rovers exteded their lead through Mandroiu's longrange shot. Michael Noonan and John McGovern came on next, and again the result was almost instant, the youngster's cross swept in by McGovern. A Jack Byrne screamer from outside the box virtually guaranteed the Hoops a slot in the third qualifying round. Danny Mandroiu (right) celebrates his goal. Pic: Salva Castizo/Sportsfile It was Rovers' 12th away win in their long run in European competition, and the sixth under Bradley. In Inchicore, St Patrick's Athletic took a slender lead to Tallinn with a 90th minute winner by sub Chris Forrester to beat Kalju Nomme 1-0.
