UFC more than likely aren't going to pay him what he wants so he's stuck without a goal. He's famous for been a fighter, and if he's not fighting he's just this super rich lad from crumlin and he is doing exactly that right now. I have a bit of sympathy for Dee, she came across extremely well and devoted to Conor in that documentary. cooking his meals, by his side while he was training. His age, his background, his friends have nothing to do with the current situation, he is just bored as stupid as that sounds he is. Compare him to a 28 year old footballer at the top of his game in the Premier League on £300k a week contract. Young, huge money, famous, talented but the difference is they are constantly in competition all year round, so their focus is on training, competing and been the best, not drinking and drugging.

It's buried in the article which is about the 10 "obviously not hookers" they photographed going to Conor's hotel room. Some nice pairs of legs on display in the photos!https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5091134/conor-mcgregor-night-out-women-hotel/

I'm not a fan boy or a hater of the man either way but this kids looking up to him and be a role model stuff is nonsense. He's not a role model he's a cage fighter anyone looking upto him as one is a fool, he got to where he is on his own merit he owes the country nothing, he had no government subsidy to train no Olympic facilities nothing. He has stuck by for better or worse (worse in my opinion) the people who he came up with and helped him get where he is today, that's who he owes anything to. What have the general people ever done for him that they now demand he be a role model. I'd agree with a lot of your sentiments on some subjects wonder but not this one. The sense of entitlement from people these days is sickening.

In that they talk about how Steve Jobs had a "reality distortion field" where he would just be so deluded at all times that he eventually become completely convinced by some of his own nonsense (such as using mad indian hypotherarpy techniques to cure cancer), as did loads of others around him. I think the same happens with Conor. He talks so much nonsense that he believes it, as do his pals - ie Charlie Ward strutting around in a pair of sunglasses indoors. McGregor talks here about running the whiskey game. He currently doesn't even have a whiskey bottle on the shelves, and when you google "Conor McGregor notorious whiskey", all you come across is articles about how he's facing trademark trouble. He talks about running the fashion game with his August x McGregor line - I certainly have never heard of anyone wearing an August x McGregor suit. If you go onto David August' website there is literally no mention of any such line. If you google "August x McGregor" all you find is posts from McGregor himself on Facebook saying "coming soon!!!". It's gas how he thinks he runs the whiskey and fashion game, despite literally having zero products in either market.

Before he was in the UFC he was saying he'd have belts in 2 different weight classes there. At some stage after the Aldo fight, he said he was going to have a massive fight like the May-Pac fight. For a long time he was saying he ran boxing, this was before the fight with Mayweather was announced and that fight ended up being huge. That's just a snippet of the "deluded nonsense" he's come out with over the years that ended up happening or if it didn't happen as he said, it came close. I'm not saying he clothing and whiskey brands will be huge but it's not out of character for him either. He was saying this shít when he was a nobody too.
dulux99 wrote: » Yes. I don't dispute that. However he's speaking as if he currently has suits and whiskey for sale and that both endeavours were very profitable. He's not even on the shelves yet. If he was saying " I will run the whiskey game " , first of all I wouldn't doubt him, and second of all I wouldn't have written the above post. He's speaking in the present tense and it's nonsensical.
