I wont lie, I genuinely couldnt translate what he was saying there. Was he referencing NFL, really?!

866

You couldnā€™t make it up.

867

It appears as if she is going to get her wish and Croke Park will happen.

868

Itā€™s a joke

It looks like theyā€™ll be putting on some kind of cabaret/concert beforehand as they were concerned Katie would be a le to fill the place on her own

869

If they price it cheap they might get a crowd. Would be only right really.

Iā€™m afraid theyā€™ll try for 100+ a ticket and get fuck all

870

Thereā€™ll be 1,000 tickets at ā‚¬20, 1,000 at ā‚¬50 and the rest at ā‚¬100+ and theyā€™ll advertise it as ticket prices ā€˜STARTING FROM ā‚¬20!ā€™ and make a bollox of it

ā‚¬20 lids a ticket and push the we are going for a World Record for a womens boxing match, support Katie, see it be it, feminism etc etc

The Irish love an event.

Is the one they have lined up a bum? I hope there isnā€™t any danger she loses it

Why all the negativity? Not just from you . In general. Surely Katie Taylor is one of our most popular ever sports people without a bad bone in her body

Iā€™m not negative at all, I hope its a great success for her, she deserves a good send off.
I am just worried they are way in over their heads here. They are trying to sell 80k tickets to a very niche sport.

Iā€™d say there is less than 20 boxing matches have ever managed that, and half of them are made up numbers from pre 1920ā€™s.

There was 10k people in PUIC for Eubank Collins.

Is that where the negativity is coming from?

878

Are they definitely trying to fill the whole stadium? That does seem a bit much

879

Definitely takes the shine off for me

Also. If say the negativity is that its aniche sport and people think its nuts to book croke parl

These are hardly innocent abroad types booking out a local pub for a table quiz they surely have some idea how many tickets theyā€™ll sell.

881

They wonā€™t have Butty Sugrue around to bankroll this.

They got the gig they wanted, now itā€™s up to them to turn up and fill it

They wonā€™t let her down surely

As long as the GAA gets paid I donā€™t mind
