i can't believe that he has not told them to enjoy their holidays to vegas and the fights that are on that date.

They'll get to see Jones v Cormier for goodness sake.

People probably poking at it since he always makes a big deal to point out how he shows up for the fans, doesn't let the fans down, Ireland going through tough times, people spend lots of money to go support him etc

Course, if you believe that stuff I wouldn't have much sympathy for you either in fairness.

The guys booked to go to UFC200 will have a hell of a time! Its a good card, good match ups, a main event where the two guys genuinely hate each other and I am sure the show itself will be spectacular.

If they only booked to go see McGregor they will be disappointed obviously, but I wouldn't have much sympathy for them. Same as the people complained about staying up all night to watch a fight that lasted 13 seconds (The Aldo fight obvs) as if the other fights on the card didn't happen!

If your a MMA fan you are going to have a treat, if your not and just a McGregor follower I would be surprised if you don't enjoy it after the initial disappointment.

And there wont be, he doesn't owe them anything. They are still going over to Vegas in July, he didn't take their hotel bookings or flights or stop them going. If they are true 'fans' then they are fans of MMA and are going for UFC 200 which they still get to go to. Move on, get over it and quit trolling on something irrelevant.

To be fair, if you're booking flights and accom 3-4 months in advance of a ufc fight, before tickets are even on sale, just to see one fighter, then I'm sorry but you have to be classed as a fool.

So much stuff can happen in this sport in the lead up to a fight that means someone won't end up fighting on the night. We've seen it countless times throughout the years. A main had to be scrapped then the replacement main had to be scrapped then the whole card had to be scrapped. Injuries play a big part and fights can be cancelled days before its meant to be on.

McGregor owes nobody an apology, he's saved numurous cards. If you book your stuff so early then that's your own risk. Enjoy UFC 200 minus Conor and if you can't do that, stfu.

Anyone who had a ticket bought before he was pulled will get the whole trip refunded by the UFC.

Fancy sharing what the tweet said? I'm sure someone got a screenshot of it. Lets be honest its hard to believe what he is saying on Social Media right now even if he did tweet it.

So you're saying the photo wasn't taken of the two of them in an arena full of people? Feck sake you can't believe anything any more.

I don't think I can handle listening to people tell me McGregor is fighting Mayweather for the next couple of weeks its going to drive me insane.

Be a bit of craic if Mayweather said it though!

weldoninhio

He is literally like a spoilt teenager on social media. He can't go to the big party (200) so spends his time sending "Look at me, look at me" tweets and FB posts. Quite sad really.

It would break the internet, my Facebook is all McGregor again his reach is absolutely insane infairness.

He cant box, or defend strikes either going by the last fight in particular, but also previous fights.

If he fights Mayweather in MMA, which won't even be an option, he'll win.
If he fights him in boxing he'll end up being on a small list of fighters that Mayweather knocked out.

Ridicules story.

Is it the same interview where Floyd says maybe? Maybe an MMA fighter, maybe the one you heard, maybe it all started from the rumour I put out, maybe its just a rumour, maybe not, just have to wait and see?

Same ****e different year for Floyd, and McGregor doesn't have any qualms about cashing in on some hype either in fairness.

Sure twill get loads of likes, shares and retweets.

Mayweather has been talking about getting in to MMA (not competing obviously). To me this is an extension of that most likely, McGregor is the biggest name in that world right now so makes sense to use him as a gateway. McGregor, well, he is just posting lot of ****e lately. Even for those who might think this is genuine, surely the alarm bells go off when you see the payout of the "super fight"

I'll say it again, it ain't happening. How long does Conor have left on his contract out of interest?

Mellor

Mayweather's agency is probably picking up McGregor. I'd guess that's what it's all about.

That would make sense.

one thing this does confirm anyway is mayweather is fighting again, wont be conor but this whole thing is fairly cheap hype for whoever it is!
