Official Conor McGregor thread (part 2). Read warning in 1st post

El Guapo!

The last thread was nearing the 10k post limit so here's part 2.

The same rules as the last thread apply here. People seem to have strong opinions either way when it comes to McGregor and threads here tend to get a bit heated from time to time. Please keep it civil and discuss all things Conor in a mature way.
Any name-calling, trolling, baiting, or being a general ass-hat will earn you a ban from the thread and possibly the forum.
If you have an issue with a post, please use the report post function. Any off topic posts will be deleted.
Any "Do you even train Bro?" or "I'm an mma fan longer than you" type posts are not permitted either. They only make you look like a fool and as a result, everyone hates you. Yes everyone.

Because it's weird behaviour. There's plenty of public figures I dislike, but I don't seek out message boards to constantly take digs at them.

If you don't like someone, why on earth would you torture yourself by discussing them constantly? Just ignore them.

End of argument!

He's answered every point you make and you still keep coming at him.

Why don't you just hold your hands up and say "You know what? Fair enough."

I've asked why his every post on here is anti Conor
I just don't get it
There are posters that sorta respect Conor but get annoyed by him and I get that
There are posters that think people think that it's only worth watching if Conor is fighting and they think those people are missing out and I get that as well
There are poster that post about loads of fighters on here and get annoyed buy the people that only come on here when there is Conor stuff to talk about and I get that as well
I don't get why a person would only post here about one fighter or about that fighter and whichever fighter they are involved with at the time but in a negatitivaly way
What's that about ?

No it's a genuine e question
As I pointed out earlier I get why someone would be a fan and I get why someone wouldn't care one way or the other
But every single one of your posts on this forum are Conor related and are negative

So Lesbar is never fighting again, what do you expect the NAC to do?? Say they are fining him 100% of his purse and wait for him to tell them to fcuk off??

Hate Conor? Are you upset because I've pointed out that even with all of his bravado he acts like a spoilt child when he doesn't get his way??

Couldn't get time off the pressers, refuses to do them and gets pulled. Can't get back on the card, so "retires" and all that twitter nonsense.

Gets fined for indiscriminately firing full cans of energy drink across a crowded room, spits the dummy and says me never wants to fight there again.

All very childish.

How much were they fined ?

Lesnar has been banned pending a full hearing.

Edit: Jones asked for more time on his defense and is looking at a 2 year ban.

Both quite worse that a 5% penalty.

How much are fighters fined for testing for peds ?
Shouldn't that be budnipled

I wasn't going to comment, but this is the worst comparison to try and excuse what's happened.

5% of his pay is a standard fine. I really don't see how people can dispute it. Diaz, I would imagine, is looking at a much bigger fine for instigating it.

Think Anderson Silva got a $360k fine for PEDs, the highest handed down by the NAC, Conor's being the second highest

It's the Conor McGregor thread. Not the Conor McGregor Cheerleader Thread.

So I had a quick look at your post history
Are you an anti cheerleader ? Cos I get why fans would want to support Conor but every and I mean every post you have ever made on this forum is talking negatitivaly about him.
Why ?

I'd throw my toys out of the pram if I was being fined 150k for a relatively small incident.

The commission were throwing around numbers as if it was nothing. Went up to 300k at one stage.

That is nothing to him. Bum money.

Horseplay? He was firing full, unopened cans across a room filled with reporters and fans. How much money do you think it would have cost him if he'd split someone open or worse?

And sure if we take his talk at face value it's peanuts to him.

You should find yourself a job on the commission.

Do you think 150,000 thousand dollars is a fair fine? Seriously? Or are you playing devils advocate.

Jake Shields through hot coffee toward the SBG lads, if he was infront of the commission how much do you think he should be fined?

Your last sentence is pathetic.

Not that it matters but that's a huge amount of money for a bit of horseplay

Not fighting in Nevada will lose Conor millions, if not tens of millions in the long run.

Unless NY or MSG come up with a monster offer.

NY taxes fighter income. Heavily. Nevada doesn't charge income tax.

NY Income Tax is 5-8%. Nevada not having a state income tax rate isn't the same as there being no tax on income. Conor is taxed on his fight purses.

Paully D wrote: »

Due to income tax rates and taking into account key UFC markets it'll cost him far more money in the long run so he'd be cutting off his nose to spite his face by avoiding fighting there.

Being taxed 0% on a $3,000,000 purse (and that's just show money) or anywhere up to 39.6%? It's not exactly a hard decision.

It's not 0% vrs 39%
The up to 39% is the Federal tax, that still applies when its in Nevada.
No income tax in Nevada means there's no additional income tax rate levied by the state. In New York , state tax is about 8% on that purse.
There's a city tax too in NYC.

And it's probably not even that simple. He's not employee paying a flat PRSI rate. He'll have an accountant filing his return and sidestepping as much of the liability as possible.
