Bits & Bobs | Cocky Scotland | Rory's injury concern | Champions League bonanza

I don't know that it really is a farewell to Katie Taylor.

But it would be a phenomenal event if it did happen.

Bits & Bobs | Cocky Scotland | Rory's injury concern | Champions League bonanza

And my memory from 23, just as a final thought, was like the...

Indo Sport
Bits & Bobs | Cocky Scotland | Rory's injury concern | Champions League bonanza

Do it.

But the other thing that I find interesting here is the extent to which the Irish taxpayer are going to fork out.

Indo Sport

Because if you want to get money from the government to put on a major sporting event, there is now a document that was published a couple of years ago and you have to go through the procedures.

And to justify it, basically what you have to do is demonstrate how much money this is going to make in tax.

or how much money this is going to make effectively in tourism.

Indo Sport
Bits & Bobs | Cocky Scotland | Rory's injury concern | Champions League bonanza

There is no NFL single promoter.

Like, it's very distasteful, the idea that any taxpayer money would end up in match rooms' pockets.

Indo Sport
Bits & Bobs | Cocky Scotland | Rory's injury concern | Champions League bonanza

But inevitably it will do if this fight goes ahead.

Indo Sport

You have to put on a show too like it can't just be a Kenny Taylor fight.

They have to remember that football stadiums are rubbish places to watch boxing matches.

Indo Sport
Bits & Bobs | Cocky Scotland | Rory's injury concern | Champions League bonanza

It's just the practicalities of it are not good.

Indo Sport
Bits & Bobs | Cocky Scotland | Rory's injury concern | Champions League bonanza

So you're going for the occasion like you're going for what it symbolises which is a farewell.

Indo Sport
