Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has said he’ll talk to Conor McGregor about his offer to help stage Katie Taylor’s homecoming fight at Croke Park.
The announcement of Katie’s fight with Amanda Serrano in the 3Arena caused an immediate backlash – with many expecting the fight to take place in front of 80,000 fans in Croke Park in May. Hearn blasted the costs involved to have the fight at Croker, saying it was almost three times higher than Wembley Stadium.
The GAA denied this and insisted top security would be needed for the event. Now, McGregor has entered the ring and said he will sponsor the reported €500,000 security costs so the fight can go ahead in Croke Park on May 20.
