Eddie Hearn had high praise for Katie Taylor while speaking to Roy Keane.
Eddie Hearn joined Gary Neville’s latest Overlap episode ‘Stick to Football’ and had some high praise for boxing star Katie Taylor.Hearn said: "Katie is one of the most fierce people inside and outside of the ring. She scares the life out of me.
“I saw her winning gold at the Olympics in London and the crowd was amazing, so out of respect, I said I'd have a meeting with her, but I didn't see a future for women's boxing.“I said tell me the three most important things in her life and she said, boxing, God and her family.“Female boxing was banned in Ireland.“She'd walk into Bray boxing club, they would tuck her ponytail into her headboard and she had to pretend she was a boy.
“The next morning, we were at breakfast, she came over and said, "Can I talk to you?". I said, of course, no problem, sit down.“It was about three times what she got.“She said; "I think I sold all the tickets and everyone tuned in to watch me. So how can I be getting so much less than this guy?“When she was on the rise, the female talent was not getting rewarded in anywhere near the same way.
