Conor McGregor and Eddie Hearn meet up to discuss Katie Taylor's comeback, which 'The Notorious' had offered to pay for
Irish superstar Conor McGregor and boxing manager Eddie Hearn recently met up to discuss venue possibilities for Katie Taylor's next fight.
Hearn took to social media to upload a picture of himself with the Irishman. In the caption of the post, Hearn expressed appreciation for McGregor's support of Taylor.
The dialog between 'The Notorious' and Hearn started when McGregor expressed interest in contributing a whopping $500,000 in order for Taylor to fight at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland for her next fight.
McGregor's statement caught the boxing manager's attention, who replied to the tweet by asking the former UFC champ to connect with him for a conversation.
McGregor then probed further and asked Hearn for details on the matter:
"What’s the craic lad. Give me the current landscape. I’m in. Is this doable still? Or is it a double show, the point first with croke park later in year, post the GAA season? I’m in either way. She better be getting her worth for this also."
Katie Taylor is expected to fight Amanda Serrano in a rematch in May. The event is expected to take place in Ireland, but as of yet, no announcement has been made regarding the venue.
The two previously fought in June 2022 at the prestigious Madison Square Garden Arena in New York. The bout was a razor-close affair that ended with a split decision victory for 'The Bray Bomber'.
With the victory, Taylor successfully defended her WBO, WBC, WBA, IBF, and The Ring lightweight titles.
Conor McGregor reacts to Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski
Alexander Volkanovski and Islam Makhachev blew the roof off the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, and delivered an electrifying 25-minute fight to MMA fans around the world.
The highly competitive superfight evoked reactions from many MMA personalities and that does not exclude Irish superstar Conor McGregor. 'The Notorious' posted a tweet showering praise on both fighters and said he thoroughly enjoyed the event.
"That was a great fight last night lads! No loser there just winners. The Ozzie and the Ozzie’s showed out and I f**king loved seeing it! Perth looks fuckin’ tasty too, now I see why so many Irish are there. I should’ve went out, former titles on the line. Congrats to all at UFC," wrote Conor McGregor.
Makhachev vs. Volkanovski lasted the allotted five rounds and went to the judges' scorecards. The judges scored the fight 48-47, 48-47, and 49-46 in favor of the Dagestani.
