Conor McGregor and Eddie Hearn shared glasses of the Irishman's own whiskey and stout as they met to discuss his potential involvement in Katie Taylor's May homecoming.
Taylor was due to face Amanda Serrano at Croke Park on May 20, with the 80,000-capacity of the stadium expected to fill up easily after her lengthy professional career played out entirely in the UK and America. But when costs emerged as being far too high, promoters had to move the event to the underwhelming 13,000-capacity 3Arena.
However, McGregor appeared to be making a last-ditch effort to save the day when he tweeted that he would pay the difference between Matchroom's budget and the price Croke Park wanted. Ultimately, it seems the solution found will see Taylor will face Serrano at the arena in May before a huge event at the stadium in September, potential against Chantelle Cameron.
