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

I didn't know he collected her at 10am. Where did you see this? Was he out partying the night before too??

The hanging around after it, acting “normal” (what is alleged by the defence), will of course be used.

But with drink and drugs, and an alleged rape, it’s not at all inconceivable that this woman was in a kind of “wtf out of it” haze, unable (at that time) to comprehend what had happened to her.

It’s what happened in the immediate day and days after that in my view tell the story of what she experienced.

They were trying to wait around for the Goat to reopen. Confirms it was getting light out. She sent McGregor a DM, she says, on Instagram. She said “send us your number.” He sent on a number and she rang McGregor. “He asked me where I was. I told him where I was and he said he would come and get us.”

“It was taking ages, Danielle didn’t believe he was going to come. We were getting fed up waiting.” Says there were phone calls back and forth. Asked what time he turned up “probably about 9/10 in the morning.” Outside the Salon in the car park.

I think the tampon is a huge statement to the jury
1) She told him she was on her period
2) She knew afterwards it was still lodged up there, this was after leaving the hotel, going to her friends then to her mams

Some more what appears damning medical evidence today.

So according to the evidence she had bruising around her chest, breast, down her legs, as well as around her buttocks and thighs. Also confirmed to be suffering from ptsd subsequently.

McGregor a real hard man.

yep, but to some it’s all a set up for a few bob😖

Which again begs the question - what were the DPP at?

Must be just him then…

The term is used in a civil context too. I've seen similar to your statement posted on boards before.

You cannot find guilt of a criminal offence in a civil action. But that doesn't mean the word is not used in other regards. For example, someone who is guilty of contempt of court, or guilty of negligence. It's can be a civil finding rather than a criminal one.

Yeah I am aware of who he is.

Him saying he would want to see it, versus it actually happening are polls apart. And with how this case is going, no one would want to watch this cretin for free. Bear in mind, he was a 2 weight champion when he did the exhibition with Mayweather, and he was dragged along for fun by him.

No one in their right mind will pay to watch him now, even at a stretch in the UFC. When was the last time he won a fight in his weight class again?

Don't think that's realistic. Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist and has appeared in movies, is generally liked, and is fighting the coming weekend in a huge PPV however ridiculous it is.

McGregor is the biggest star in the history of MMA. You don't have to like it, but even circus fights, he will fill seats. He's linked to half of the biggest selling pay per views in the history of combat sports.

When he last won a fight is kinda irrelevant to that. It won't last forever, but he's still famous enough that people would tune in.

He received a crazy payday for Roadhouse and it brought massive attention to the movie despite McGregors "performance" being absolute dogshit and he hadn't won a fight for years at that point either.

If he loses this case it's a big hit. If he doesn't lose it he'll fill any arena. He's huge, one of the biggest names in sport today.

Rubbish he will, his glory days are well over at this stage. He is nowhere near as big as he was, and it is laughable to have him to say he is one of the biggest names in sport, especially as he doesn't even compete anymore, he just talks about competing.

I don't like him but that doesn't mean I have to lie about him. 

Ok?

You are lying to yourself if you believe that a double of an MMA and boxing match featuring one of the two biggest PPV athletes of all time and the P4P king of boxing wouldn't draw massive crowds both in an arena and through ppv. 

Hate to break it to you, but the average person wouldn't know who Terrance Crawford is at all, he was even misnamed at a UFC event recently as Kendrick Lamar FFS. If they have to have it in SA, then that tells you how popular it would be as an event. An American promoter wouldn't touch it.

As I said I believe it all depends on the outcome of this case.

More rubbish, this fight happening or not is not dependant on this case. It might influence it, that is all.

Mike Tyson is as much of a cult figure than anything at this stage. His upcoming fight, at his age, is not comparable to what is being proposed here with Crawford. It would actually make more sense for McGregor to fight Jake Paul, that is the type of comedy show it is.

People tuned in expecting to see him win, it is a long time ago now. Like I said, he would be better placed to do a joke fight with one of the Paul brothers. He would be smoked by anyone in the top 20 at LW right now in UFC, so you can imagine what a boxer would do to him.

He is over the hill now, he might have been able to pull a crowd before, but now I can't see that at all. I can't see him fighting in UFC again ever at this point, even less likely against Crawford, who is probably still interested in actually boxing and waiting out for Canelo, which would be where the real money is for him.

He received a crazy payday for Roadhouse and it brought massive attention to the movie despite McGregors "performance" being absolute dogshit and he hadn't won a fight for years at that point either.

The massive attention that meant it went straight to streaming? Ah yes, makes sense.

I think the poster is more supposing it as a 1 possibility as to why a charge wouldn’t be brought, not that she actually didn’t want to press charges.

It's a good question but not without equal. Why did Colleen Rooney stay with Wayne Rooney despite the constant humiliations for example? At the end of the day it's their choice and they have their reasons.
