Official Conor McGregor thread (part 3) *Updated Warning in 1st Post Re:Boxing match
The last thread was nearing the 10k post limit so here's part 4.

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.

**Upate with Mayweather vs McGregor announced**

Lads consider this the one and only warning - big fight with a lot of hype around it. It brings new fans to the forum as well as the regulars so try and get along. Any trolling or nonsense and people will find themselves on a break from the forum and that applies to everyone.

Conor should just point to the advertising board behind them and sound out what it says directly to Floyd.

''Floyd ya little illiterate bitch, it's time for school. Look and listen;

MAY...WEATH...ER...VERSUS...MC...GREG...OR...T...MOBILE....ARENA...AUGUST... TWENTY...SIX''

Try remembering that after a few lines of powder you wouldn't get far! And not enough swearing either, no mention of how rich he is. Don't think he'll go for it!

Very well written though fair play.

Here Conor I wrote you a speech:

"What's up London! Thank you all for showing up to support this event I've always been grateful for all the love you've shown me. So, about last night (laugh)... you can't go to New York and not have a few drinks the night before your birthday (haha) ... I once said "I'll apologise to absolutely nobody" but the truth is I'd like to offer a heartfelt sorry to anybody who was offended last night because that simply isn't me. I've nothing but love for every human being, it makes no difference if you're black, white, male, female, straight or gay - we were all created equal.

So why are we here? We're here because of an incredible amount of hard work over many years that have got me to this position. I'd be nowhere without my coaches , my training partners, my friends, my family my beautiful girlfriend and Conor Jr. and, of course, the support of the UFC from the legendary Ferttita Brothers to Dana White now to WME.

We're going up against a supremely gifted boxer, a defensive genius under the limited rule set. Nothing but respect for what Floyd has achieved in his career. A 5-weight World Champion in a 20+ year career as a pro, the highest earning combat fighter in history (despite his little tax issue ha!)... but no, you can't hate on that. So much respect to Floyd.

But let's be real there's only one true fighter up here on this stage.

Beating the best boxer of our generation, succeeding where all the others failed won't be an easy feat but I've been here before facing an uphill task and I've always managed to come through. I'm going to get into that ring August 26th and fight my heart out for myself, for my family and for all of you who have supported me on this incredible journey and, trust me, with hard work and your support, my hand will be raised at the end of this incredibly tough contest.

Once again, thank you for all my fans at home in Ireland, here in London and around the world I wouldn't be where I'm standing if it wasn't for you. Let's go and do this!"

wonder i like a lot of your stuff but that was the biggest pile of ****e you've ever written

I think Conor was on fire last night because he was genuinely angry with Showtime/Mayweather etc......tonight felt like he had to try and put on a show and it failed!

Very hard to do 4 nights in a row without repeating yourself or trying to come up with new stuff.

One cross-section of the internet is loving his performance tonight....

And they all have Pepe the Frog avatars. I suppose next stop is a KKK or Stormfront endorsement.

Happy birthday Conor...

And this is because everyone was scrambling to be the most offended by him saying "boy",he came out tonight feeling he had to address it but ballsed that up big time!!

I'd hate to see these commentators or journalists that got bent out of shape from an Irishman saying boy if they ever ended up in Cork,their heads would explode,bai!!

Think McGregor should really stay away from the racial stuff, it's really unnecessary.

I genuinely hope McGregor doesn't get too carried away and emotional tomorrow and make the whole thing look like a bad Jerry Springer episode. He's dealing with a guy who beats the sh1t out of women (on at least 4 separate occasions), owns a strip club, kicks reporters out of press conferences, uses stupid catchphrases, calls himself Money, has a stupid rap song about himself; yet managed to come off as a bigger asshole than him tonight! (That's no mean feat).

The biggest thing about tomorrow for McGregor will be that the crowd will be in his favour in a major way, he will feed off that (in probably a more measured way) and he should come out of it looking fine. The audio issues tonight, like the first didn't help him either, but the main part of it is that there really isn't that many Irish born people living in LA or New York, whereas Toronto and London have thousands and thousands.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had a few snorts of funny powder last night, and was either coming down or took more today.

Despite all of Floyd's women beating ****, The guy has been trash talking **** for 20 years his a veteran at this sport. His speech tonight was rubbish but after 20 years I doubt he gives a **** its all business to him.

The more surrounding fake drummed up controversy, the more likely it is to go ahead.

StringerBell

Didn't really get too many dark, sinister undertones. Just a **** show to borrow Dana's phrase

It was awful with Floyd coming out on top (despite his own attempts to **** it up even) in a verbal battle, which is frankly incredible.

Conor did what he does, it fell flat tonight, Floyd did what he does,it worked in parts tonight but really it was a race to the bottom from both men and the Irishman won that race

6/1 for the fight not to go ahead is looking more and more like a decent bet. If Conor continues to walk this thin line he's on with race there'll be protests and an organised campaign against Showtime and sponsors. With a 100m on the line he needs to wake up here, this isn't Rio where he can get away with edgy material against Aldo.

He's under the microscope there now, if TMZ and Twitter start digging up some of the stuff he said to Aldo, Diaz and Siver he could soon be on thin ice. You'd think his management, agents, coaches would have a word no?

lol not a hope this fight getting pulled. there's just too much money for the people involved. this isn't some tech startup in san francisco, nobody cares if people are offended. it's a one-off fight, get the free publicity, get more PPVs and get out

wonderfullife

Toronto had plenty of funny moments without ever coming across too cynical.

Brooklyn had dark, sinister undertones.

It was as if they tried to compete to see who is the bigger arsehole.

The *only* positive I can find is it might reduce expectations for London and right now that's a good thing.

McGregor often wears shoes with a good heel on them to look taller.

Wonder did you get a freeze frame of who Conor lunged at in the Roddy vlog?

That's actually hilarious! I thought they were just a normal pair of runners at first glance, the state of the two of them at this point with their use of heels and lifts

The truth is probably still that there is an inch in it in McGregor's favour, as the tale of the tape says.

Floyd looked slightly taller tonight, take off them shoes and Conor is probably an inch taller imo

By tomorrow, all the bad stuff from the presser will be forgotten and pretty much two things will be remembered.....

McGregor wore a polar bear and told the crowd he was half black.
Floyd rained dollar bills down on him while wearing a pair of wedges.
