Eddie Hearn plans to fly to Ireland to hold talks with Conor McGregor over Katie Taylor's Irish homecoming fight.
Taylor announced she will face a rematch with female rival Amanda Serrano for her undisputed titles in Dublin in May, but it is not expected take place at Croke Park. Matchroom Boxing promoter Hearn suggested the venue was too expensive to be justified for the event, but UFC superstar McGregor had another idea and made a public offer to stage the event.
He tweeted: "The extra security bill is 500k to have Katie Taylor fight at Croke Park? I will sponsor the event to see this happen." Responding to Hearn's planned talks, he then added: "What’s the craic lad? Give me the current landscape. I’m in. Is this doable still? I’m in either way. She better be getting her worth for this also."
