I wonder what odds PP will give me for McGregor to have a heart attack in 2017.

Get the Charlie in to ya lad.

Lukker- · 10-04-2017 08:09PM

I'm sure he dabbles from time to time, but I think the coke thing gets overblown.

He's hyperactive by nature, look at him during any fight week press conference, can't stop fidgeting etc. Does anyone honestly believe he's taking coke during fight week?

1) He's drug tested randomly
2) Not many drugs erode performance quicker more than coke
3) JK this week has said that he's already started cardio and conditioning for the Mayweather fight

I have friends who are similar to him, always seem like they are on something but just have hyper-manic personalities.

Coke is not tested for or banned by USADA outside of competition, he could be doing it off a youngwans hoop as he pissed into the bottle and it would make no difference.

Plenty in here think he was getting wired before the 205 press conferences. That'd be in competition.

See John Kavanagh confirmed that McGregor won't ever fight in Ireland again, which is ****. It's the old time difference thing again.

Surely McGregor's become a big enough draw to get some leeway on this front? I know the American audience is the be all & end all, but if ufc wanna expand into Europe, surely they should have the odd title fight suiting European times?

They should be using McGregor to expand into Europe too. Make hay while the sun shines...

Gamebred · 10-04-2017 10:04PM

Dont think the UFC can influence Irish tax laws tbf.

I really hope you're not that naive.

Enlighten me with your knowledge

Is it just down to tax laws? Or more down to US audiences?

US audiences

Both. Vegas has pretty low taxes that's why so many money fights happen there.

Doing a PPV in Ireland seems to much of an obstacle, seeing as no stadium will host events past 2 am. I'm not sure what the story with the three arena but I'd assume it's the same story.

Burial. · 10-04-2017 10:32PM

It's well known that petrol makes the hands go hard as stone and petrol is used in cocaine production in those jungle laps in South America. Clearly the Charlie is the reason for that left hand :pac:

Ball In Towards · 10-04-2017 10:45PM

The tax thing is a different story, but for the US audiences thing, my point is that surely if they wanna properly push into the European market, they should have the odd title fight at a time that suits European audiences.

Midnight GMT is 4pm Vegas time (I think). Not ideal for US audiences, but it's not 5am like it is now for European audiences...

They should surely be using McGregor to their advantage while he's at the top?

Maybe they just don't really care about the European audience and US audiences are the be all & end all...

EagererBeaver · 10-04-2017 10:55PM

They care about the money. If or when it makes financial sense to do it, they'll do it. It evidently doesn't at the minute.

European audiences aren't on PPV, US audiences are.
They lose a fortune having it at 4pm Vegas time

http://www.ladbible.com/now/sport-conor-mcgregor-is-loving-the-sesh-in-liverpool-20170411

On his second night in the city, he ventured out to another nightclub, still wearing sunglasses despite the lack of sun at 11.30pm, the Liverpool Echo reports.

But the sesh didn't end there, oh no, no. Because he apparently ended up going to a house party in Huyton.

John prescribing 3 day sessions in Liverpool for cardio? :pac:

Also there's "accounts" coming from this house party of white powders partaken in :rolleyes: Plus reports of Conor trying to get Jemma Lucy and her mate into their car.

Either way, looks like he likes Liverpool!

Gamebred · 11-04-2017 06:17PM

Amazing took a break because the missus would be stressed if hes fighting, yet hes out on the piss every night while shes at home about to pop, he'd of been better off having a fight in March or April imo.

I had to Google search who she is. Are you sure he wasn't trying to kick her out of his car.

I had to google it too, she's apparently famous in England and confirmed it was Conor trying to get the pair of them into his Rolls. I'm sure he just wanted a chat with them.

Meanwhile, 2 young fellas coached by Cian Cowley decided to play a "prank" on Conor while he's away by hopping the wall on the Straffan road-side of the K-Club and sneaking up on his cars and gaf to put a 'For Sale' sign down and take selfies.

I wouldn't be impressed if I had a pregnant partner in there while 2 17-year-olds in hoodys are sneaking up on the gaf, can see how that could have caused a bit of stress.

At the end of the day he's only 28 so it'd be totally normal behaviour for a rich lad his age other than the fact Dee is apparently due in 2 weeks and he's supposed to be doing base-cardio for Floyd.

Where is this for sale prank video or pictures Wonder?

Yeah they went through this whole big spiel about how they found his gaf by Sherlock Holmes methodology. Using Instagram pictures, videos and a bush and signpost via Google Maps. Then they went over.

Of course, googling "where does Conor McGregor live?" brings up 50,000 articles about him buying the house in the K Club..... but that would be too logical I suppose.

They're both coached by Cian Cowley, the 2 fellas who did it. Honestly it's a stupid, non-funny video, I wouldn't waste time watching it but the bottom line is sneaking up on the gaf in hoodies and skulking around his cars taking photos would probably lead anyone inside to think they're trying to rob the place.

Gamebred · 11-04-2017 07:29PM

Yeah everyone knows where hes living but wouldnt say he be too happy with them little twerps making a video of how to get right into his front garden for the world to see, he will be gone from that gaf soon enough I reckon has money for a bigger mansion.

They'll be getting a few slaps when he finishes his bender and finds out. Cian Cowley coaches both of them. Won't be hard to find them. Mind you, that's probably what they want.

But yeah the fact they even video'd the easy way in from the Straffan road-side was a bit of a low blow. I don't even get the concept behind the "prank" it's not funny on any level but maybe I'm just old.

CatFromHue · 11-04-2017 07:51PM

tbh anytime i hear someone is doing a "prank" it just means it's not funny and they're prats

35 seconds onwards in this video is just great

Repetition is my biggest problem in posting, don't worry I cringe myself when I re-read things without the call-out on it

Anyway their coach's name rhymes with Lean Rowley...
