    Seems to be pretty obvious that this story has been released by some powers that be in response to McGregors retirement.

    Also it seems that McGregors team have some pretty big analytics team battling to keep the story off the top trends on Twitter, google etc.

    It’s actually quite a fascinating PR battle. I’m just curious as to what the end game is going to be here.

    I’d say Leo is glad he didn’t engage with him in Chicago anyway.

    Leo may have some inside briefings on the legal trajectory. Best to keep a wide berth and avoid the stink and that's certainly what he did.

    Well if me and the dogs on the street knew about the story I'm sure it had managed to get to Leo. And he's too politically savvy to go near anything to do with it.

    It's stupid to say he's not ridiculously famous
    But it's not begrudging to say he's a knacker a$$hole

    I think he acts like a knacker and is an awful roll model. He's an embarrassment to our small nation.

    If you are trying to suggest I'm a huge McGregor fan you are wrong.
    The McTapper thing is something I'd expect to hear from a 12-15 year old.
    And it's old now.

    No it’s not. It’s only getting started. It’s huge over stateside

    Someone on here thought I’d made up the nickname. I sent them to google to show it’s a huge thing.

    My god the McTapper stuff is cringe. Everyone in MMA gets submitted, if not in the cage itself then hundreds of times in the gym. If any of the people spouting it ever set foot in a BJJ gym I can guarantee they'd be tapping. Likely dozens of times in the space of a few minutes.

    That's nothing to do with being a Mcgregor fanboy either as I'm certainly not, its just akin to seeing a physically incompetent fat slob in the pub calling an elite level footballer a useless prick.

    Never heard that one! Tapping to me means riding. "Tapping up any nice girls round the town recently?" etc.

    That’s an Americanism. “I’d tap that” etc

    In Ireland/U.K. you’d tap someone up for a loan.

    McGregor would have made a fantastic Morse code telegraph operator back in the day as he tapped out quicker than anybody else.

    it's very hard to compare fame levels from now to 15-20 year ago. Social media has changed all that. How many "famous" people of today would be nobodies without intragram, facebook etc.

    What a waste of money that must have been. I’ve seen more entertaining fights outside Supermacs in Eyre Square.

    It just shows you what a farce boxing has become.

    I never watch it nowadays. Love watching YouTube vids of old fights/watching a young Tyson.

    A farce of a fight sure but boxing is relatively healthy now. Some really great fighters out there and the last few years have given us some amazing fights.

    McTapper was never funny. It's always been stupid. However, it's slightly less shít than McNuggets. El Tappo was actually pretty good given he was doing the whole El Chappo thing at the time. It gave me a laugh at the time. Why any one would use McTapper instead of El Tappo I will never know.
