    That judge seemed delighted to meet McGregor.

    That's the impression I got too, she said he had to appear OR send legal representation, then when he doesn't show she throws the toys out of the pram, you would have expected her to be hard on him considering his no show, and the speed involved. Instead she has a bit of banter with him and lets him off with a tiny fine.

    She's a big fan id say.

    The man is a ****ing genius, he has found a way to stay in the headlines despite not stepping into a MMA cage in over a year.

    You realize he’s loosing fans left right and centre.

    He was a genius when he was being witty and funny.

    It’s hardly rocket science.

    If he was pleading guilty, fair enough, send legal representation, case closed.

    Pleading guilty but wanting to provide mitigating evidence, the defendant has to be there to give that evidence.

    Same rules for everyone.

    What mitigating evidence did he provide? He pleaded guilty and apologised according to the reports I heard

    I know he's been a sap lately, but jaysis, the hate on hard on some people have is atrocious.

    It was a speeding fine summons, not a murder rap.

    He's still making the headlines, and sponsors love headlines. No such thing as bad publicity as they say. This has to be the most active thread on boards, just when its about to die down, he does something else and everyone is talking about him again. I'm not saying everything he does is on purpose, but he has a knack for dragging the story out, like the kinehan link, to keep everyone talking.

    And for the record, I think he is acting like a dick, and wouldn't be a big fan, but you have to give credit where it is due. His flair for marketing himself is the reason he has over 100 million in the bank, not his fighting skills, good luck to him I say.

    He never put his middle name on the form accepting the points in the first place, which is why the fine didn't go through. This was the reason it went to court in the first place.

    It's a speeding fine. So I'd imagine the judge is confined to fairly fixed range.

    Nope. McGregor was directly sponsored by Reebok. At the time he wouldn't have been able to wear other brands so publicly.

    Countries where fines are related to income makes sense.

    If he'd done 150 in 100 zone in Finland/etc then he wouldnt be getting asked would he like to pay his 400 quid in instalments and the entire thing would be less amusing to him.

    But hey, thats Ireland. Make it easy for the super-wealthy to have a laugh and then get upset about it when they have a laugh.

    And if he did it on an autobahn in Germany there'd be no laws broken.

    According to wiki 70% is advisory limit only, cover my point above. But maybe that's out of date.

    I'm not sure what the issue is here.

    On that bit of road the speed limit is 100Km/h.

    Doing 110 is pushing it, 120 a bit risky, 150 is taking the piss.

    You may be able to do whatever you want on the Autobahn but Lufthansa being on the N7 don't make it the Autobahn.

    Any chance Conor would rematch Holloway? He lost to Nate and asked for an instant rematch, he was wanthing a rematch v Mayweather, least he can do is give the P4P #1 a rematch?

    Is actually love to see it too but they would have to pay him a ton of money to make that cut and don't think him or john has any interest in it.

    Marketing my behind. None of what he is doing at the moment is marketing and people are deluded by him and throwing this out as the reason for his behavior. He is acting like an idiot, or maybe he isn’t, maybe he just is an idiot.
