I'm no fan of McGregor but I don't see why anyone should "respect" the Irish courts because they are corrupt as f**k.

I neglected to pay a parking fine in 2008 and found myself in court in Swords. Thinking like you, I wore my best suit.

EVERYONE else rocked up in a trackie and runners. I felt so out of place. These folk were all up for relatively minor offences, many of them traffic related. So much as I'd have thought like you, it doesn't appear that common.

Arghus

I think I'd prefer him if his name was McGrogor.

Conor McGroooooooogggggggooor.

There is SOME limit to that informality.

Last weeks Liffey Champion newspaper had a story of one gentleman who was unable to enter Kilcock District court because he had shat himself in the back of the garda van outside.

How unfortunate. :cool:

I guess it depends how often you are in court , like you most people are not regular attendees ie not criminals.

this aint McGregors first time in court for driving offences

Actually iv lifted the paper and Im having a second closer read here and I apologise, I am wrong in some details.

He didnt shat himself, he shat all over the inside of the van.

Judge: "Where is he now?"

Counsel: "Still in the van judge"

Judge: "Would you like to go and consult with your client out there?"

Counsel: "Absolutely not judge" :pac:

Wasn't taking the piss out of yourself, fair play to you for calling him out, not sure why someone would go to the bother of fabricating a tweet.

Why are people bothering sending on BS messages about a rich sportsman being under threat and fleeing the country? Why are people like you so interested?

There is something going on with him lately, he seems to be losing grip a bit. Not sure if the baby mama story from that girl in Liverpool is true, she claims she is due his baby next month. You wouldn't know what to believe. I hope none of it is true for his girlfriend's sake as she comes across as a lovely, sensible woman.

He is in his bollocks worth €140m; I reckon it's less than half that, probably about the 50 mark. He had about 20 prior to the Mayweather fight, for which the figure of a $100m purse was exaggerated. Let's say (generously) he got $80m for that, take away taxes, currency conversion, training and other overheads and it starts to reduce quickly.
The good news is he spends it like someone worth many times what he actually has and has peaked in his earning potential already; my guess is we'll be seeing him in bankruptcy about 2025.

I had a quick Google and it turns out I was massively overestimating his purse:

https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/news/mayweather-vs-mcgregor-fight-purse-the-money-each-fighter-will-bring-home/

Remember, this is a $ figure from which 40% income tax and his overheads must be deducted. He might have got a few million from sponsors but they'll be looking for a way out of those contracts (which almost certainly contain clauses on personal behaviour) following his stunts over the last few weeks. Like I said, he's on collision course for bankruptcy if he doesn't get his sh1t together fast.

It's good news that someone is going to be bankrupt?

Why is that?

Don’t forget he fought mayweather when he was under contract with UFC so they got a big % of his purse for allowing him to fight

McConor is a dirty ****ing rancid knacker. I hope he decides not have any more children. There are enough hooded scumbags around Dublin causing trouble.

Your own article even states that's the bare minimum purse. He got a bare minimum of 30 million to show up, the real money is in the PPV.

In 2016, for the Nate Diaz 2 fight, and then the Alvarez fight, both combined made him $27 million. Yet his purse was only $3 million. It's all about the PPV. You can't just look at the purse, the purse means nothing in comparison. He's earning far more than you estimated.


You may want him to be broke, but he's not.

Do you really think his kid is going to grow up and be a hooded scumbag, hanging around Dublin causing trouble? His kid will live a lavish lifestyle until (or if) the day comes when his da has blown all his money. Private schooling I'll bet.

Jaysus, some of the stuff here is shocking.

He has been talked about in the media as being associated to gangs for god knows how long.
He has a run in with gang type people and blows up in the media.
There are stories of him fleeing the country and bounties on his head.
He appears in court and assumes the persona outside the court of the most known gangster in Ireland who has had movies made about him. I'm suprised that he wasn't wearing a mickey mouse t-shirt.

He's a young man, filthy rich and taking the p*ss out of the media.

Jerichoholic

He gets paid every time he wears someones watch, wears someones suit or drives someones car. He's got his own promotion company now unlike every other UFC fighter, he'll continue to make money long after he's retired He's smarter than 90% of people on this thread thinking he'll go bankrupt.

Well, given that he was posting his tracksuit and runners on instagram as well hashtagging the company, you know he made more money while in court than the actual fine issued.
And playing up to the media has the huge logo plastered all over news, gossip sites, parody sites.

Bingo.

The same people that fall for this crap are the same people that enjoy gogglebox and the kardashians. Ie morons.

Because he's offensive...

When did we cross this line? It feels like it wasn't too long ago when being a cokehead, loudmouthed, classless, sexist, chav toerag was an undesirable label... when did it become 'fashionable' within a certain section of society?

Years ago, drug users and drug dealers hid in the shadows and were despised. Now, they hide in plain sight and - worst of all - people idolise them...

Sad...

I have nothing personally against McGregor. He is what he is. A product of his environment. In a way I admire the way he has turned absolutely nothing into millions of euro... the people who made that so easy for him, however, need to take a look at themselves... the saddest case of the Emperor Having No Clothes there has been in quite some time...

Who are you referring to who made it easy for him? I don't know much about him

I could be bowling along at that sort of speed and get overtaken by a crazed nordy (usually) going considerably faster.

If you are doing a ton (in old money or mph) on the M50 or M1, then you should be taken off the road and your nordy friend!!

Not that I doubt you may be capable of driving at speed but these roads are public spaces - you're sharing them with drivers of widely differing abilities. And you have a duty of care to take their safety into account if you or they do something unpredictable.

I agree completely but the car he is driving wouldn't take half a second to get from the speed limit up to 100mph. I would be guilty of opening up the bike on an empty stretch of motorway so I can't really judge him for the speeding.

His kid will probably go to the best schools and speak with a D4 accent:D
