Conor McGregor thread (MMA Talk Only - Read 1st Post Before Posting)

Axwell

With the recent addition of the Off-topic discussion thread, I am closing the current McGregor thread so that chat going forward can be located in the correct threads. This thread is for MMA related discussion only - any other gossip/showbiz type stories are to be discussed in the off topic thread.

Please make sure to review the updated charter before posting - there have been some amendments made in light of these changes and in posting here you are at all times expected to follow those rules and guidelines.

As before there is a strict rule on no chat to be had here about legal issues or court cases as per the charter - this is a strict no go regardless of where it has or hasn't been posted in the media it is not allowed on boards.ie at all. This is not up for debate and it has been said multiple times now.

Depends what you mean by rich.

John Rockefeller on seeing JP Morgan had 80 million famously said, "to think he wasn't even a wealthy man".

Not sure he's so rich. It's been said before that he fights so often because he needs to, as he is so bad with his money.

I think the story was that his Grandfather bought him his ranch and he a had 6 figure trust fund

Cowboy is a rich dude anyway away from fighting he was born rich, he just loves to fight. 18 fights in the UFC in 5 years is alot, there isnt many doing those numbers.

Can they server booze till as late as 5am or even later?? More likely they will stop serving booze, or run out of it, around 2am.
If you factor in you’re getting 10 alcoholic drinks maybe even more then €80 isn’t bad value. But chances are there will be more fighting offscreen than onscreen!!
€80 is steep enough if you don’t get at least 10 drinks.

The bollox you come out with at times, Bluebell have done this for nearly every fight and there's never any hassle.
I'll be at this, there will be a decent crowd there from HQ

Fair enough though. He knows hes shot as a fighter so hes trying to earn as much as possible as quick as he can. Cerrone has fought 18 times in the last 5 years and lost to anyone half decent. Earned a few million though!

I think the McGregor fight will be the end regardless of result. He'll walk away with a good few million from it.

Another thing about Cowboy is he fights too much. He fought May,June, Sept last year which is ridiculous. He'll have had a decent rest and put in a good camp for this so should be in good nick for it.

Looks in great nick judging by his latest Instagram photos. Best I’ve seen him look in a while.

Whether his reactions and athleticism are still there remains to be seen.

Watched Cowboy vs Alvarez there last night. Jesus he put some beating on him too. Vicious leg kicks.

shows how much his interest has dropped from general bandwagon

Definitely - a lot of colleagues, friends etc who wouldn't be huge MMA fans but would always have taken an interest in past McGregor fights, most I've spoke to didn't even know he was fighting

Tazzimus

Reebok going back to the Giblert days, with that t-shirt.

Homelander

That tshirt is utterly awful. To think someone probably got paid big money to design that.

Man Vs ManUre

There will have to be a sit down presser with the 2 of them early next week. Probably Monday.
I think Conor will show up on time for this one.

sc86

They must have found somebody else to find there time following but pretending to hate

Wonder does Conor think that Dana will cut him loose after the next round of money fixes.

If he does, he shouldn't feel bad. They both made each other many millions.

Lol Conor would love for Dana to cut him loose, never going to happen.
As long as there are fights on his UFC contract he'll be kept under contract.

Go to prison? He'll be kept under contract.
Jump the cage and slap Dana in the face? He'll be kept under contract.
Lose his next five? Kept under contract.

Still Ill

That t-shirt looks like McGregor at the end of a three day bender. A fitting tribute, I guess.

Thought it was chuck Morris first on tshirt

Macau sporting club/casino are showing the mcgregor fight... Be lot less messy in there

Man Vs ManUre

If Khabib try to sell that T-shirt I don’t think he gonna get much moolah.

AlmightyCushion

It looks like a really bad charicature.

Zero-Cool

The official walk out tshirt is abysmal...

Gamebred interviewed by helwani yesterday and asked him if he could pick his next fight would it be usman or conor. Straight away said conor for the money.
I suppose i can understand getting paid but amazing he would pass over on the chance to be world champ.
Also the live gate of 10 mil is second highest in ufc and sold out in 10 minutes. If conor wins this looking good he will be even bigger draw now than he ever was.

It's an easier match up for Masvidal, he is bigger, more powerful and on the crest of a wave right now. I'd very much fancy his chances against McGregor at 170.

He could fight McGregor and make a boatload of money and still be close to a title shot, whereas he could take a title shot next and likely lose out on the big payday

In fairness, the prospect of a career-high payday against a smaller opponent is a lot more attractive than a much smaller paycheck for a much tougher match up.
