Eddie Hearn will meet Conor McGregor on Monday as they look to save Katie Taylor's Croke Park dreams.
Taylor will fight Amanda Serrano in a rematch of their 2022 fight on May 20 in Dublin.
The fight looked set to take place in Croke Park but Taylor's promoters have deemed the venue too expensive.
Conor McGregor has publicly offered to sponsor the fight with a reported €700,000 needed for the bout to go ahead at GAA HQ.
And Hearn will meet McGregor at the Black Forge Inn on Monday as they discuss options to save the fight.
He said: “I spoke to him a few times and I will be flying out to see him on Monday. Our date is May 20 which is immovable because it’s built around the DAZN schedule.
“On Monday I’m hoping to fly into Ireland, to the Black Forge. We have been communicating on Twitter messages. I noticed he followed me on Twitter and I saw his tweet that he wants to make it happen. He loves Katie Taylor and he would love to help get it at Croke Park
“I haven’t given up but there is probably a 6 or €700,000 deficit of where we need to be. Maybe he can fill that. But it’s not a publicity stunt, I think he feels like it would be cool to be a part of that.”
It looks likely that the fight will take place at the 3Arena but McGregor's sponsorship could pave the way for a September Croke Park fight.
