'Promoters should be selling a fair deal to fans.' Promoters are trying to cash in at fans' expense with the ‘exorbitant prices’ for Katie Taylor’s homecoming fight. LunchtimeLive
this morning, some listeners complained that the prices would prevent them bringing their families to the fight.
Fergal from Cork told Andrea the prices are hard to understand – given the ‘big kerfuffle’ over the attempt to Bring Taylor to Croke Park.“Katie Taylor fought Amanda Serrano a year ago in Madison Square Garden and the tickets started at $30 – you know €25 or €27.“A fair price is all I'm looking for" “A fair price is all I would be looking for and I don’t under how they can be $30 in New York a year ago and they are €80-plus ten months later.”Liam from Edenderry Boxing Club said he is a “realist” about the situation – noting that hotels are hiking prices the weekend of the fight as well.

I’m disappointed the clubs didn’t get the chance – but the price is the price because it’s a business.”Colm in Meath said he is going to a boxing event at the National Stadium this weekend – and is paying €80 for the pleasure.
