Jake Paul’s Most Vaulable Promotions is prepared to fund a Croke Park stadium fight between Katie Taylor and Chantelle Cameron, says its CEO Nakisa Bidarian. <\/b><\/p>\n

MVP, fronted by Youtuber-turned-boxer Paul, has worked with Ireland’s Taylor on her last two fights against Amanda Serrano<\/a> in the United States.<\/p>\n

Cameron, the only woman to have beaten Taylor<\/a> in the pro ranks, is signed to MVP and making the trilogy between the rivals is one of MVP’s priorities.<\/p>\n

“Chantelle is a tough fight for Katie,” Bidarian told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n

“It’s her only loss. So you have to really see if that makes sense, and we’d like to do that at Croke Park.<\/p>\n

“We haven’t talked to Matchroom about it, but Jake and I have talked at length about it.”<\/p>\n

Cameron, 34, has been chasing a third fight with Taylor since their rematch in late 2023<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This week the WBC ordered 39-year-old Taylor to defend her light-welterweight world title against the Englishwoman.<\/p>\n

Taylor has spoken openly about her desire to fight at Croke Park, but her promoters Matchroom have been unable to come to terms with the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA).<\/p>\n

Her two fights in Ireland have been at the 3Arena in Dublin, housing about 9,000 fans.<\/p>\n

Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn says the 82,000-seater stadium has significant costs<\/a> that would need to be paid upfront and it’s “difficult to make the numbers work” with those and prospective purses.<\/p>\n

Bidarian, however, says MVP is willing to provide the funds.<\/p>\n

“100% for the right fight, we would be willing to do that,” Bidarian said. “There’s no doubt about it.”<\/p>\n

Responding to Bidarian’s comments, Hearn said: “They had the chance to fund the Serrano fight at Croke Park, but they chose to go to Madison Square Garden because it was a lot more lucrative.<\/p>\n

“It’s a nice soundbite. But the reality is it won’t be down to Nakisa.<\/p>\n

“It will be down to Katie Taylor which at this stage the first question is, do you want to fight again?<\/p>\n

“Croke Park is really the only box that’s never been ticked, so if she fights again, I think it will probably come with the carrot of Croke Park. <\/p>\n

“If she fights [again], I don’t think it will be until next summer.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jake Paul’s Most Vaulable Promotions is prepared to fund a Croke Park stadium fight between Katie Taylor and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":328667,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-328666","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114994824281297085","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/328666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=328666"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/328666\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/328667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=328666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=328666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=328666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
