The Irishman’s great help to Taylor
After the highly successful bout between Taylor and Serrano, fans were eager to watch a rematch between the two. After the bout, the two boxers became favorites among combat sports lovers. To discuss their rematch, Taylor traveled to the United States. She expected the bout to be held in Ireland. The authorities wanted to conduct the match in the 3Arena in Dublin. The place had witnessed a lot of bouts previously; however, the stadium could not accommodate many people.
On the other hand, Croke Park can accommodate around 82,000 people. Nonetheless, the expense of security was too high. It was then that ‘The Irishman’ came forward to help Taylor with her homecoming. McGregor came forward to pay $500,000 to arrange the event at Croke Park. ‘The Notorious’ also met the lightweight boxer’s promoter, Eddie Hearn. If Taylor beats Cameron this weekend, Serrano and Taylor’s rematch would be next on the list.
