I dunno why but I got suckered in by the talk of an interesting undercards.
I wasn't expecting huge 50/50 fights but I thought he'd have announced the brit fighters a while back and given them fringe top 10 opponents in the hope a few more tickets would be sold to Brit fans. As they must need this to sell out and I'd have thought sooner the better, so as to make a statement of what a draw Joshua is for any future negotiations.
Hearn said the card will be full of UK/IRE vs. USA.

She could headline Dublin in front of a 10K+, 3 arena with the likes of Quigley, Doheny and Hogan (fought on DAZN this weekend) on the undercard to name a few Eddie could get with ease.
Instead its on an undercard and yet hearn craps on about hometown advantage being huge and important.
It's a shame that Dublin has been neglected and lost a lot of big boxing nights over the last few years. Taylor could have filled out the o2 easily.

There will come a time when she can call the shots. If she wins this fight, she holds all the cards. Persoon insisted on a neutral venue before signing up, that's why it isn't in the UK.

No. Hearn has stated he doubts Taylor will ever headline a card in Ireland. Her manager said so too, this year.

Hmmm, OK.
There was talk of her doing a title fight down the track in Ireland, it was Eddie promising that was a couple of years ago. Wait and see. If she gets all 4 belts, I think she can fight where she wants. Also, if she loses a few times... She might need home support to put bums on seats.

Taylor could fight a nobody and fill out stadiums in Dublin. She could probably even fill out Croke Park. The powers that be have blocked major boxing events from happening in Dublin ever since the horrific scenes at the weight in of a boxing event years ago. I guess they are scared of that happening again but good policing on the night would prevent that and would give the irish public some big fight nights
That's surprising. The WBC World Lightweight Champion who Katie Taylor is fighting isn't even a real full time professional. She's a full time policewoman.

because ppl post there opinions on forums
No sh*t Sherlock
What I mean is, why take the time to open at thread which holds no interest to you, just to comment that it holds no interest to you? Seems easier to just ignore something that doesn't interest you.

I read most things because quite often they go off on another topic and i don't like to miss anything,anything wrong with that ?
Nothing at all. Unfortunately this fight might ending up being the best on the card
that was a couple of years ago. Wait and see. If she gets all 4 belts, I think she can fight where she wants. Also, if she loses a few times... She might need home support to put bums on seats.
