Taylor vs Cameron

Just finding it a bit ironic, in that, (and my stats may be a bit off and open to correction), but talk on here of bringing families and kids to this event.

An event where two people are there to batter each other-with the main event occurring round half ten or so, and yet we have laws where you cant bring a child into a pub after a certain hour unless food is being served tho not necessarily being ordered or consumed.

HMMMM

I don't think Croke Park is a runner, there were still a few tickets left for Saturday's fight less than a fortnight beforehand.

It's a pity, but it's really not a tragedy. Katie and Serrano/Cameron will still make a lot of money wherever they fight, and Katie has had the chance to fight at home.

I think Frampton fought in front of a crowd in excess of 20,000 at Windsor Park, but Croke Park is four times that. I can't ever remember an Irish fighter drawing a crowd of even half Croke Park's capacity in Ireland. It'd be great if it were viable, but at this stage I don't think it's likely. A rematch with Serrano in May of this year would have been the best chance.

What's nonsense talk? - do you mean bringing kids to the boxing match is nonsense talk???

I saw comments above on about bringing the family out to the boxing match. That's ridiculous. Like the poster said, what parents are going to bring kids up to age of, say 12 to a boxing match which finishes around 11.15 at night time. Won't happen. Many kids wouldn't be able to stand the noise for a start. Although, probably less of an issue if it were Croke Park.

People today pay for utter scutter that has the word “entertainment” attached to it. Event junkies everyehere

You are correct B, there's a coterie out there who know nothing about boxing ,but because it its whipped up by the media,they will sell the car to go.

Watch the pressure build up from all those with 'dogs in the fight' RTE liggers, the media,the hotels, the bars, the hucksters, all ready to

take every last Euron from Poor Pat and say "Aaaah sure, you can tell your grandchilder you were there".

These lads are like the headbangers who will attend five sessions in a row of Bruce Springsteen .

Theres more of them than we think.... as you rightly pointed out

Or thomond park or as WalshB points out what about some indoor venue in the uk.......all better options that Croke park....I actually think EH has Katie brainwashed into this croke park thing.....I know its his job to promote, but she is unable to finish a sentence at this stage without croke park in it......

I really hope that where ever she ends up fighting that both fighters come out of it as the financial winners and not just EH

He’s a postman!

Yeah it's not ideal that for a trilogy that none of them are in Cameron's backyard but welcome to boxing.

Cameron has never proven herself any sort of a draw and even if it were to happen in England, the Irish supporters would probably snap up most of the tickets anyway😎

May as well have the 3rd fight in Ireland as ultimately if the girls want a nice pay day its here or nowhere sadly.

Tickets would want to be in the 30-50 euro bracket to make Croker in any way feasible. 100 euro to be sat in the clouds, miles from the ring, with a pretty poor undercard (if we're going by Saturday) would be madness.

Plus the time of day wouldn't suit the type of audience you're trying to tap into - families essentially.

Maybe I'm way off though 😅

You don't seem to understand the hipster. Hipsters just want to be at the event so they can say they were there. They couldn't care less where they are and lots of them couldn't care less about the fight.

I'm sure you know plenty of them. If there's something in your area that most say they should at, they'll be there and it was brilliant. They'll never say anything negative about anything.

They never have an opinion, it's just all about saying I was there.

She's 37, and moved up in weight.

Nah, she was advocating for Croke Park in the ring, it's not on the media.

Katie is pressing for the Croke Park fight every bit as much as Eddie.

Katie is someone who comes across as not driven by money, but she still may want to get as much as possible before retirement. She has herself and her family considered here I'd imagine.

I wonder what the gate did at 3 Arena? 1.5-2 million?

She said 'Let's get the trilogy in Croke Park' while in the ring right after the fight.
