It has been a dream of Katie Taylor to fight at Corke Park while making her debut in Ireland. As per updates, the security bill and insurance costs regarding Katie Taylor at Corke Park are estimated at $500k. In this matter, neither the GAA officials nor Matchroom Promotions are willing to pay the amount and facilitate Katie Taylor’s dream appearance at Corke Park. However, fellow Irish fighter Conor McGregor in a tweet expressed his willingness to sponsor the event.
