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?

Why do people get so wound up and offended by him? It doesn't make any sense.

If people weren’t so wound up by scumbags AH would have a fraction of the traffic.

Would these "sports people" friends of yours be competing on the international stage,at the highest level n the most popular sport in televised history?

My guess is no....playing hurling at the weekends and working in Mace during the week is hardly in the same league.

Bitter people will be bitter.

Has McGregor ever competed in a World Cup Final or Superbowl??

He had the time and energy to train. He was on the dole while he did a lot his training. It's not like he was holding down a highly pressurised job and training outside of his work. Not exactly juggling was he.

Just hope he gives back a lot to society. He should remember that it was the ordinary tax payer who allowed him to have free time in the past.

Tell me more about these dozens of elite sportsmen you know...are they working a night job in a foundry to put themselves through whatever training they are so engaged in?

Do you expect the same off every person in the country who ever signed on Rose? That's a silly statement to make.

Ah hold on, are you calling MMA the most popular sport in televised history?

I'm as big a fan of MMA as anybody but that's a load of toot.

If you're specifically referring to the McGregor vs Mayweather fight I'd say that's still a load of toot. The world cup final is the most viewed sporting event I believe.

Ah now..semantics semantics.

PPV numbers for MMA are enormous. People can watch the crappy world cup from their homes or from the pub.

I get your point but then you get mine too?

ironically "Coach Kavanagh" said the reason that he'd never fight in Ireland now is because he'd have to pay too much tax.

I know plenty of GAA players who play county who don't get paid to train but none of them are on the dole either. They might get the cost of petrol to travel to and from training and free sports gear but that's about it.

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.

Perhaps if he'd bothered his hole showing up for the first two hearings, the media wouldn't have been quite so interested.

Ah get a grip. Typical condescending Mcg fanboy post. I know girls under 14 that spend 14 hours a week on the water rowing. Any half decent swimmer trains 20 a week. A triathlete would easily do 25 and a full time job.

The O'Donovan's were on 35-40 a week for Rio, pure graft, all weathers, for nada.

Nothing bitter about my post. I just don't equate money with sporting success.

I just hope he gives back what he took out. Even if he's not paying tax, maybe develop youth centres in his area or something that will benefit people that are in poverty, like he was once upon a time. Even if he pulled one person out of a life of poverty.

I taught in the area he comes from and I know how socially deprived some parts of Dublin 12 are. Be great to see him do more good is all I'm saying.

To be fair he's very generous in his local area by all accounts

retro:electro

I don't really care about any of this but I had to laugh at the footage of him rocking up to court in that car with the music blaring, leaving it there with the door open, and then speeding off after been given a fine for speeding.
I don't know why but it made me laugh.

Not during the winter they don't.

I'm a rower myself and we're the only east coast club that trains throughout the year.

Imagine if mcgregor and other high-end athletes stopped training between October and May..they wouldn't get very far would they.

Anyway rowing is a terrible example as it's not a sport that attracts millions of viewers no matter how big the Regata is and for our christmas row this year we struggled to find anything even approaching sponsorship,despite it being for charity.

In Dublin pants means underwear so I don't think the judge would be impressed at that.

He wasn't planning on turning up in court, the judge insisted he did so he drove them from wherever he was.

He trained a bit and got seriously lucky. Millions drank the Kool aid and he 'earned' massive amounts of money.

'look at all his money, he is loaded, he has so much money, money, but his money'

Money is not a measure of success or hard work. Or indeed talent. I know dozens of sports people who nobody has heard of outside of a tiny circle, who have worked longer, harder and for years more than this chump. For nothing.

He got lucky.

But if you are talented and successful money nearly always follows. Especially in work terms anyway. Th people you are talking about obviously arent super talented or successful or people outside this tiny circle you speak of would have heard him. To say McGregor got lucky is some joke. He hasnt risen to the top based of a few lucky kicks and punches!

No No, means the same in Dublin.

Only culchies say pants.

Gas means to run out of energy.
Tap Out is how you concede in an MMA fight, normally due to submission.

It relates to a fight where McGregor gassed (ran out of energy), tried a different strategy, evaded a few different submissions in quick succession until his opponent locked in a choke hold that forced McGregor to tap out (concede the contest).

None of them are on the dole because companies fall over themselves to employ inter county GAA players. I love getting CV's of GAA players because I know I'll place them without any hassle.

Conor would understand considering his English heritage.

He looked every inch the spa leaving court pulling up his hoodie over his face thinking he was Martin Cahill
a gesture repeated by the tit with him as they drove away.

I think it's safe to say he was taking the piss when he was doing that.
