A top GAA official has cast doubt on the possibility of a Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano rematch taking place at Croke Park. Peter McKenna, the GAA's commercial manager, stated that there hasn't been any recent contact from Eddie Hearn, Taylor's promoter, regarding the event. McKenna also highlighted logistical challenges and scheduling conflicts, pointing to pre-existing commitments for the stadium, such as concerts by Oasis and Robbie Williams. He dismissed concerns about security costs as a major obstacle, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive event plan and city council approval.
A top GAA official has poured cold water on the prospect of Katie Taylor fighting Amando Serrano at Croke Park .
And despite Hearn suggesting last month that Jake Paul, who fought Mike Tyson on the same card as the last Taylor-Serrano fight, “will get on a plane and come and see the Croke Park boys with me”, McKenna said there has been no recent contact. McKenna again dismissed the suggestion that security costs are a game-breaker in terms of Croke Park hosting a Taylor fight.
Last year, Croke Park hosted rugby games for the first time 2010 and there will be at least one more there this year, as Leinster take on Harlequins in the European Champions Cup on April 5 - though McKenna doesn’t envisage rugby becoming a regular fixture in the longer term.
