Conor McGregor and Eddie Hearn hold crunch talks over major change to Katie Taylor fight

Conor McGregor has vowed to "support" Katie Taylor's homecoming fight after holding crunch talks with Eddie Hearn in Dublin over his potential involvement in the May 20 bout.

Taylor will rematch Amanda Serrano in the biggest women's boxing fight of all time, and Hearn is hopeful that McGregor might provide the funding to land the bout in 80,000-capacity Croke Park, and not the 13,000-seat 3Arena. Taylor and Serrano sold out Madison Square Garden last April for their historic meeting, with the rematch now set for Dublin.

However, Hearn scoffed at Croke Park's running costs, which he estimated as being three-times more than if he were to bring the bout to Wembley Stadium. McGregor then took to social media to offer his support, with the pair agreeing to meet at the UFC legend's Dublin hotspot The Black Forge Inn this afternoon.
