"What a moment that would be.”
Hearn went onto state that, at this stage, Taylor is up there with the highest profile fighters in the world such as Anthony Joshua, Fury and Canelo.
“We are starting to get to the levels that these great fighters deserve.
"We can do that in Ireland. There are not many places we can do that.
"This is Katie’s third seven-figure gate, Madison Square Garden and now twice at the 3 Arena.
"And as I said at the shopping centre on Wednesday, you can count on one hand the draws in boxing the size of Katie Taylor.
"There’s Canelo, it’s AJ, it’s Fury and it’s Katie Taylor and that is it really, globally.
“So, to reach those heights of what they deserve, we need to be in Ireland," he added.
Hearn says that his team will do everything they can to ensure the fight takes place in Croke Park.
“Katie Taylor draws huge gates, especially in Ireland and that is the reality of the situation. My first thoughts are if we are going into Croke Park, we will do, everything we can to (get).
“Chantelle Cameron is the pick for the trilogy. And it is really only Chantelle or Amanda Serrano, they are the only two mega-fights out there that Croke Park warrants.”
Hearn went onto call on the Irish government
"I will not stop banging on the doors of government here until they recognise the importance of this woman in this country. Stop supporting things that aren't real.
"Support what is real. She's everything you want your children to stand for. Get behind her. Give her what she deserves. Croke Park next year, we're coming," he said.
