Income derived by a resident of a Contracting State as an entertainer, such as a theatre, motion picture, radio, or television artiste, or a musician, or as a sportsman, from his personal activities as such exercised in the other Contracting State, which income would be exempt from tax in that other Contracting State under the provisions of Articles 14 (Independent Personal Services) and 15 (Dependent Personal Services), may be taxed in that other State, except where the amount of the gross receipts derived by such entertainer or sportsman, including expenses reimbursed to him or borne on his behalf, from such activities does not exceed twenty thousand United States dollars ($20,000) or its equivalent in Irish pounds for the taxable year concerned.

If he's taxed in California he'll get a credit in Ireland for US taxes paid. His overall tax rate would be 52%, unless they have some other sort of scheme set up to avoid the Irish taxes. Where he fights in the US or if he fights in Ireland shouldn't affect his tax rate, under all scenarios it would be 52% as no US tax rates would exceed this.

He put a lot of effort in on offence and on movement and was still fighting in rd 8. That is not a man who started gassing in rd 2 or so...it's bonkers to suggest that. Gassing is really when the body shuts down and is running on reserves and fumes.

walshb wrote: » I kind of criticized his shots in saying how they just weren't boxing punches as I know it. Re-watching it I was a little harsh. They were crisper and cleaner and faster than I had first thought. Of course, they then faded, because his energies were depleting, but when he was fresh his punching wasn't too bad at all.
We have to not forget that this is a first time pro boxer with no previous boxing experience at pro level. I am judging it off this. He gets a grade A from me here.

qwabercd wrote: » It's different when you own the company (a la O'Brien). McGregor I assume has an employment contract so it doesn't matter where the employer is located. Anyway gone way off topic, if JK said it it's obviously the case would like to know how they manage it!

You could easily say you were proven right in everything you predicted,everything did go down similar to how you said apart from Conor landing a few shots, but here you are talking like a Conor fanboy ha. I agree with all tho. Fair play.

The loss was avenged yes but it's yet another example that nothing is guaranteed in combat sports and talking definitively about any such outcome prior to it happening is hyperbole.

Used to love Aldo but he's taking being a sore loser to another level. Hope he takes another L in his next fight, can't stand listening to him anymore.
