When asked how she spent her $1m prize money, she laughed and said she wasn't a big spender.
The 36-year-old is aiming to keep her feet firmly planted in the ring as she prepares to face Argentina's Karen Elizabeth Carabajal on Saturday.
It is a step down in venue for Taylor after the biggest win of her career in New York in April, and on paper it is a bout the reigning undisputed lightweight champion is expected to win easily.
She wants to box in her home country of Ireland for the first time in her professional career.
Taylor wants a second fight with Serrano in front of 80,000 people at Dublin's Croke Park.
There are a lot of big fights out there for me, I can't control what she does." I would like to headline a fight in Ireland.
I haven't fought in Ireland in six years. It would be great if against Serrano it was possible. There's no shortage of famous people.
There are issues outside the ring that have prevented Taylor from returning to his hometown.
Since a fatal shooting at a boxing weigh-in at the Dublin Regency Hotel, the Irish government has refused to sanction pro events.
Irishman Daniel Kinahan, who founded a company that would become a boxing management and promoter's company called MTK Global, has been accused by the US government of being a member of an organised crime group.
The door was open for Taylor to return to his hometown after it was announced that MTK would cease operations.
She said it was realistic that she would fight in Dublin. We were talking with the park. It would be the largest event in the history of women's boxing if it happened there.
It's a realistic goal for some time next year.
Politics are behind us now. We wanted the Serrano re-enactment to happen immediately.
Eddie Hearn said there had been positive talks with Irish officials about staging a fight in Ireland.
He said that they had a lot of conversations at the back end of last year. There were a lot of conversations with the government.
If there's a time for Ireland to return to boxing, it's going to be done by the person who knows what they're doing.
One of the first women's boxing gold medals at the London Olympics in 2012 was won by Taylor, and she still wants to do many more things in her career.
She doesn't think about retirement very much.
She said that Vegas is the mecca of boxing and that she always wanted to fight there.
I want to be a part of the big fights. People haven't seen the best of me yet.
I take it fight by fight and don't put limits on myself. I feel great right now and I love my sport. I still like to get up early in the morning. I want more as long as I have that.
Although a fan's dream match against Shields, who has fought at middleweight, light-middleweight and super-middleweight, would be a long shot, Taylor said she would happily move from lightweight.
She was a huge fan of Shields and said her victory over Marshall was an "iconic fight".
She doesn't pay much attention to what people say about the greatest women of all time. I'm doing her thing.
People are talking about women's boxing. Female fighters are the biggest household names for the first time in a long time.
I'm here to tell you who the best is.
Carabajal is the mandatory challenger for Taylor's belts and she needs to beat him first.
She won't reveal what the purse is after her $1m pay day, but she won't lose her title as undisputed number one.
It's going to be a great fight and I'm not one for predictions. She said that keeping her belts was the main thing.
It's possible that a historic homecoming is on the cards if we win. She won't splash out on the celebrations.
