Eddie Hearn has confirmed that he's held talks with Conor McGregor about the UFC superstar potentially sponsoring Katie Taylor's rematch with Amanda Serrano, in order to ensure it takes place at Croke Park.
Taylor's dream of competing at Croker for her first professional bout in Ireland was dealt a hammer blow this week, when promoter Hearn revealed that the costs of staging the bout at GAA HQ proved too costly.
Hearn insisted he would stay true to his promise of Taylor's rematch with Serrano - secured after Serrano earned a unanimous decision win over Erika Cruz on Saturday night - would take place in Ireland but it looked increasingly likely that the 3Arena would host the fight due to security costs attached to Croke Park.
