Replying To Square_B:  "Why would the GAA have to compromise? The event list for 2026 is done & dusted... this is icing on the cake. The GAA is in a position of strength, she badly wants the venue. Not being funny but the GAA owes Katie nothing."
Agree with this.

TBH I was mainly referring to the promoter and the boxers involved.

But rental costs etc could be tweaked - after all it would put the venue on the map for future boxing world title fights.
It would be massive from a venue promotion point of view, for a different type of event hosting.

And I know..... Ali fought there many years ago...... ;o)

It is not as if there are as many sold out GAA games in Croke Park anymore - so it needs more events in it.
