Mc Gregor... Your cuppa tae?

#381

Are the police in on the joke?

#382

Dana white is another don king.if McGregor does fight again he will be a bigger cash cow than he ever was.every fighter now will want to be the one to beat and shut him up.white has never once said he wouldnā€™t work with McGregor again .a billion dollars could not buy that publicity

#383

Good luck to him getting back into America, to fight more fights, with a criminal conviction to his name.

#384

He just been charged with 3 counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief, due in court later today.

Iā€™m a boxing / MMA fan for years and have enjoyed McGregor for the most part. After last night though I have lost all respect for him. Thuggish behaviour of the highest order. 2 fighters on the bus he attacked now canā€™t fight on Saturday and both suffered cuts to their faces/eyes so could be more serious.

Still not convinced heā€™ll get much more than a slap on the wrists from the US courts though. We wait and see.

#385

He will be sued heavily Id imagine which prob wont bother him all that much.

#386

A recurring theme this week.

#387

I really hope they throw the book at him. He needs a dose of reality fast.

#388

It only took you until now to do that, fair play! He is on a steady path into the abyss.

#389

He needs a dose of the pox, as far as I am concerned.

#390

Unbelievable behaviour. This has been waiting to come for years. For all his money he still cant understand how to behave. He should take a lesson from the Dubs (and other county players) who despite not getting paid behave with dignity and respect win, lose or draw.

#391

He should just feck off, sick of seeing him strut around the place like a thug.

#392

Agreed

#393

Been an arsehole gets him exposure . That is what he craves . He doesnā€™t do all these crazy things for nothing . It reminds me of that time where a few sports stars in America came out & said Iā€™m not here to be role model . Heā€™s not . He has said it himself before that he was going to try & make as much money as possible in the short time these careers last . Social media lit up last night due to what he did . Iā€™d say Dana White is only too delighted at what happened . I wouldnā€™t be surprised if the whole thing was staged .

#394

Looking at the latest footage now. could have done some serious damage, money might not help him here .

#395

My understanding is that three fights are off this weekend because of what happened. How is that a good thing?

If thereā€™s any conviction at all heā€™s done in America. How is that a good thing?

If this was staged it seems to me to be one of the most stupid publicity stunts in history.

#396

Have lost the last little bit of, actually, cant say respect, cant say admiration, dont know what to say. I liked him after i met him, but has gone seriously downhill since then. This just tips the scales. At first I thought the whole thing was staged WWE style, but with the fights off and the cops involved too, doesnā€™t seem to be the case.

#397

I agree all the previous stuff was pantomime shenanigans done to maximise his exposure. I have a feeling this is different. American justice system can be quite harsh but in this case I hope its as harsh as possible. Itā€™ll show kids who look up to him that there is consequences for acting like a thug. Never liked him, or the sport (but thatā€™s my personal feelings). Would support any Irish sportsperson but could never get the GrĆ” for him.

#398

Thatā€™s purely a coincidence, yes?

#399

Weā€™ll have to see how this unfolds .
Regards the conviction possibility , I wouldnā€™t be surprised if certain dispensations are applied for ā€œcelebritiesā€ , Iā€™m sure his lawyers would find some way around that .

Have those fights been confirmed to be off ?
Edit , details here of it

Regarding the publicity , itā€™s an absolutely win win for MMA .

Everyone is talking about it - so from a publicity stunt , its been a success (up there with coloured weather warnings !!!).

Use to admire him , put himself up there with the rash talk and backed it up in the cage.
Since the mayweather fight was announced i just got fed up with him being everywhere.

You cant polish a turd as the saying goes.
