Katie Taylor is set to take to the ring for the final time on Saturday night at a sold out Croke Park Stadium in Dublin. However there’s strong rumours going around that a pub has choose to keep it’s doors closed the night of the big fight.
Breaking There is a strong rumour that pubs in the Fairview area of Dublin will not open on Saturday due to the Katie Taylor fight taking place in Croke Park.Why??

Guess. I’ll give you a clue. It’s to do with alcohol being consumed in public places offending our imported brethren.
Every scumbag in the country will be at it and there are Travellers on the undercard, avoid Dublin altogether Saturday night.
Travellers are the only ones from my hometown that are into boxing. Even in Dublin it’s quite a rough crowd who do it. So, yeah, those pubs are better off, save themselves the hassle.
I can’t understand why people would go to see someone punching the daylights out of someone else – leading to brain damage etc . That’s just my opinion.
