Conor McGregor and Eddie Hearn hold crunch talks over potential Katie Taylor Croke Park bout

Conor McGregor and Eddie Hearn have held crunch talks today in Dublin over a potential Katie Taylor bout in Croke Park.

Taylor's homecoming fight against Amanda Serrano is currently earmarked for May 20 with the 13k seater 3Arena looking to be the venue. McGregor then got involved and offered funding to bring it to the 80k seater Croke Park, but it's understood to be a last gasp effort.

Last April Taylor and Serrano managed to sell out the historic Madison Square Garden in New York City. As an Irish rematch looked on the cards, Hearn scoffed at Croker's costs, which he claimed are three times more than what would be required for London's Wembley Stadium.
