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.

This has been well planned, no fix of ufc for weeks so everyone buys the ppv for their fix on the 26th.

Yeah its bs

I am a massive Conor fan boy and when he is fighting in UFC I love it........ This circus fight is just irritating. I will watch it but I wont give them a cent for it and I bought ever Conor ppv on UFC.com until it was banned when BT got the exclusive rights.

How come when he called a load of white lads 'monkeys' that wasn't racist?

God I hate this reaching BS. It's a parody in itself now adays, like whenever someone says 'you people' and they connect it to race and start a war.

I am getting so sick of this fight and can't wait until its over. I am fairly annoyed there is no UFC on for a few weeks cause of this fight

I'd much prefer a good UFC event over this boxing match.

Everyone here seems to only be considering the "black from waist down" quip as the racist comment and glossing over the more obvious and disgusting "dancing monkeys" comment.

You've left out the juice head monkeys bit funnily enough, how convenient.

You need to dig a little deeper. Black men were historically described as sub-human, animalistic, and lust-driven. That feeds into the reasoning that black men were a sexual threat and prone to raping white women. This excuse was often used as a reason to lynch black men.
In McGregor's case it's perpetuation of a black male sexual stereotype, which is based on the notion of black male obsession with white females.

Just because you don't fully understand it doesn't mean it isn't racist.

Absolute horse****. He was jokingly insinuating he has a large wang. That's all there is to it, no need for mass hysteria, no need for snowflakes to melt, no need for outcry. Racism, in it's true sense, suggests unfair treatment or directed aggression toward a person because of their colour, ethnicity, or race. This new age/snowflake reinterpretation of racism is eye rollingly stupid.

Just because you don't fully understand it doesn't mean it isn't racist.

I fully understand what racism is, there wasn't any. Conor McGregor, is not a racist. People need to get over themselves & stop being perpetually offended.

I think if he's at all upset it'd be over the fact they posted up stuff without his permission in the first place...

People can say whatever they want about Conor but he recognized early on that owning your own content is a money-making avenue. He was probably withholding those photos and/or video footage to put up on his own instagram or directly on to the Mac Life at some stage and get tons of web traffic... instead Fogarty and Byrne made a tit out of it and posted it on their twitter...

Amateur hour.

all conjecture.

I think if McGregor does respond to this crap again (and I think he should as it as it gives the fight a nasty dynamic) he needs to do it in a more serious manner than he has.

His rebuttal that he couldn't be racist because he loves rap culture...and then giving Floyd a present on stage of some rap album and telling him how great it is.. it was David Brent level cringe:

Racial tension sells. Always has, always will.

It will sell even more now in Trump's 2017 America than Reagan's 1982 America the last time they went in on the black v white in a big way with Gerry Cooney.

Very smart from Floyd. Cynical, sure, but he's no dummy.

Oh I get why he's doing it...... just think it's despicable that he is and hope he gets called out for it.

McGregor made fun of the accusations with stuff like the 'Black below the waist' thing but behind it all, I think it winds him up that something like that is being said about him considering he has a fair few black friends and colleagues, I think it's something that he will want addressed before the fight.

Personally I prefer reactions like the following to such nonsense rather than the stuff he said and did in Brooklyn (which was cringy to say the least).

He's a convicted domestic abuser, this is nothing to him.

American media really running with this racist angle now as both Vibe and BET have picked up on it.

Hopefully some high profile black Americans will call Mayweather for this, as to be using the names of MLK, Malcolm X and the black civil rights struggle itself as a way of increasing PPV sales... is pretty damn despicable.

Conor just retweeted a couple of Paulie's tweets there and at first I was thinking why would he do that, but what the tweets have in common is that the replies to them are mainly calling out Paulie's behavior and so I think maybe it's a way for him to get people (his 5m followers) to see that without him having to say it himself.......... and he also pinned this tweet from last year.

If Conor is so upset like you say he is then why are the photos still up on Fogarty's instagram why did Conor smile and say nothing to Pauli when Pauli asked him not to release these kind of photos. Van Heerden had a point, Pauli had a point, even Tiernan said he knew as he was being hit photos would appear on instagram, and said that Pauli was 'understandably' upset about the photos, Berto is staying well clear apparently. I don't think Conor gives a f*ck.

I'd say the photo is still up on those accounts because of Paulie's reaction......... calling him every name under the son is ott.

Plus, it's the Internet and once a photo is out there, there ain't no bringing it back.

No more than Paulie could remove his comments from the net about McGregor's power being severely overrated.

As for why Conor smiled.... he probably was just joking with him. Paulie takes himself too damn serious.

Be interesting to see how All Access portray all that's gone on.

Speaking of NDA's, I doubt the immediate members of Conor's circle signed them but maybe he should have made them :rolleyes:

From what I'm hearing and piecing together online, it looks like Conor was unaware that Fogarty and Byrne had posted the photo of Paulie on the canvas and wasn't too happy about it.

If that's true, it also makes sense why Fogarty was pulled from the MMA Hour appearance. In the 'After Hour' segment on Twitter, Ariel gave a shout out to the "troublemaker" David Fogarty, saying he was supposed to be on the show but hinted he was pulled by Conor/Audie as they want to keep things under wraps.

That to me looks like Fogarty accepted the interview with Ariel without even consulting Conor, who then laid down the law when he found out and was like "no you're not".

TL;DR - Looks like some of his team are carrying on like children and are now grounded! :pac:
