Given her status, popularity and historical significance, you can make the case that enabling Katie Taylor to fight in Croke Park would be for the greater good, and a gift to her from her country.
Maybe you have no interest in boxing at all. It doesn't matter. Eddie Hearn thinks you should foot part of the bill.
Not for the first time, Hearn suggested that the Irish government could help defray some of the costs of hiring Croke Park. “It is not about giving the money, it is about being in line with all the other economics of going to a major stadium. If Croke Park cost the same to us as Wembley Stadium, we would have already done it.”
The argument can certainly be made that Irish governments have backed events before - from colleges' American football to the women's Irish Open in golf. Maybe Hearn could tell us why Conor McGregor's Forged Stout was deemed as an acceptable sponsor by Matchroom, even though various questions about the Dubliner's suitability were put to him.
He has been at ringside for various big boxing nights in the UK over the past couple of years, and was also in Abu Dhabi for Chantelle Cameron's defeat of Jessica McCaskill on November 5, 2022.
