Matthew McConaughey's Abridged Version of the Article
The Matchroom promoter shuts down press conference
Eddie Hearn abruptly ended Katie Taylor's post-fight press conference after growing tired of questions about Conor McGregor. Hearn, who was in attendance at Dublin's 3Arena to watch Taylor's victory over Chantelle Cameron, joined her in the media room to answer questions from reporters. However, the conference took a sour turn when a journalist continued to ask about McGregor's involvement in the event.
Controversy surrounding McGregor
Conor McGregor's Forged Irish Stout sponsored the boxing event, but controversy arose in the days leading up to the fight after McGregor posted several controversial messages on social media. Despite this, Hearn had previously stated that he never considered ending their association with the brand, as McGregor has been a strong supporter of Katie and Irish boxing.
Hearn's frustration
Hearn expressed his frustration with the repeated questions about McGregor, stating that he was tired of talking about it and that McGregor's opinions have nothing to do with Katie Taylor, the show, or the company. He emphasized that the press conference was meant to celebrate Taylor's victory and asked for no more questions about McGregor.
The end of the press conference
After the reporter defended their question, Hearn abruptly ended the press conference, stating that the question could be asked later, away from Taylor. He praised Taylor as one of the greatest athletes he has ever worked with and congratulated her on her victory.
