McGregor brawl in Dublin Pub (allegedly).

Pique

According to a thread on Reddit, he was in a pub and decked some Kinehan goon and they're looking for 900k or he's toast.

Any Crumlin-ites know anything?

Even if true, that's his own personal business.

This is exactly it. He's a young lad with a ridiculous amount of money who is enjoying himself. If the media hadn't shown up to that courthouse this morning, he wouldn't have been as brash. It's all a show for him and these puppets are doing exactly what he wants.

Until it’s judged and decided upon by social media and Internet forums.

"Propaganda"?

Is McGregor eyeing up the Taoiseach's chair?

Why is it begrudgery? The speed with which people in Ireland trot out that term tells more about them than the so-called begrudgers. Why, if you don't care for someone, or just plain despise them in Ireland, then you are a begrudger?

In the US, millions of people loathe Donald Trump. Donald Trump has a few quid in the bank. Are THEY all begrudgers? Is the culture of begrudgery in the US alive and well?

Okay, lets just say it's not begrudgery then. What is it? Why feel the need to post vile disgusting things about someone you've never met just because you despise them.

I can't stand Trump either but I don't go off on one on the internet about him and I'll tell you why. Because he doesn't have ANY effect on my life. Full stop.

Same as Conor McGregor doesn't. I don't like him either but I admire what he's done with very little backing.

McGregor rambling incoherently in court today, his solicitor had to jump in and talk on his behalf;

When McGregor took the stand this afternoon he was asked by the judge what speed he was travelling, and he replied: "I can’t remember, to be honest."

The judge asked him: "Did you not hear the guard?"

He said: "What I did hear was that I had tried my best to pay it. I don’t know, it didn’t pay."

The judge said that is not it, and when she asked him what happened, he said: "I don’t know."

His solicitor intervened to say McGregor was pleading guilty.

The guy is definitely falling to pieces. Genuinely wouldn't be surprised to hear of his death in the next 12 months. Though either way it seems to be a sad slide for someone who worked so hard for a massive opportunity to turn his life around.

Everyone can claim entitlement to privacy, reality disagrees.

Hope it all gets cleared up soon and hope that all the rumors are untrue. Can't be a comfortable experience to have so much negativity shoved in his face. I don't know him but he's achieved great things. So did other fighters at a young age, Mike Tyson is my example. Poorly advised, poorly mentored and lost the run of himself in his professional career. Not ignoring what he did in his private life for which he spent years in prison, but ultimately that's none of my business.

/See? sometimes people do agree on the internet.

And he got the usual fine the same as you or I would receive. Should he be treated differently?

I hope, just for the laugh that he pays the fine in installments like the judge said he could.

It was poorly worded in the rte article. Read the one linked after that, the Irish times one.

Looks like he's hiding his face while holding the camera that took the photo.

It's off-topic, but IMO monetary sanctions should be proportionate to earnings. Otherwise it's not the "same" punishment for everyone.

That is, let's say €400 is the typical fine for someone who has average earnings of €40k

For someone who earns €20k, that's a much harsher fine; more than a week's wages.

For someone who earned €140m, it's a drop in the ocean. A penny sweet.

If fines were to be fair, they should be proportionate. €1.4m in the case of McGregor.

Where's the disincentive for McGregor to slow down when he knows it'll cost him next to nothing?

That would mean completely rewriting huge swathes of legislation and turning sentencing guidelines on thier heads.

Lol. I find this funny. Out if all the things he has said and done driving at 158km in a high powered car is picked out as indefensible. C'mon most of us would be tipping over the limit every now and again especially on a good road like the Naas dual carraigeway if we had such a motor.
