He's selling his next fight folks... Its the nature of his way

PizzamanIRL · 19-01-2015 05:17AM

He's a smart man. He knows all his actions will fatten his wallet.

No it won't, nor will it come close, calling it now.

Jones vs Cormier did less than 800k and it was hugely hyped, featuring possibly the best fighter on earth, and an Olympian. Both American.

Lesnar vs Mir at 100 did 1.6 million. Not a mission that Aldo vs McGregor will get near that.

Pure entertainment though. Aldo is a boss as well.

Aldo is scarier then Conor because he didn't even flinch or react to that, Conor should take note mind games won't work on Aldo. Still think Aldo would beat McGregor although i have to admit i'v only seen a few Aldo fights and that was very impressive from Conor, then again we need to remember he fought the a guy ranked 10th in the division Aldo is ranked number 2 p4p total different planet to Siver.

Can't the haters shut up now ?

I wouldn't count myself as a hater but I hardly think that's enough to silence doubts. He beat an opponent hand picked by the powers that be because his style matches up well with McGregor's. If he were to beat Edgar or Mendes then ok I'd be impressed, but Aldo is different class, on a far higher level than McGregor, I can't see how that fight can go any way other than Aldo's.

mdwexford · 19-01-2015 05:19AM

Conor is so money.

My god I can't wait for that title fight.

You havnt a clue about class pal, the man personifies it

what by running at another fighter and shoving what seemed to be a woman and a child out of the way in the process. No mate Andy Lee, Carl Frampton, Manny Pacquiao, GSP, Aldo show class the likes of Mayweather, Jones and McGregor don't.

What happened to Siver's 'giant killer' midriff kick?

Busted!!

Conor whacked him with it instead and then knocked him the **** out.

) there was no shoving either of him dont start that

Very entertaining fight when will the Aldo fight be, maybe July or before?

19-01-2015 05:22AM

I must say though that I was thoroughly disappointed with Conor's hairstyle. I can't ask for that lazy mop of a barnet he showed tonight at the barbers.

What record exactly?

The jury is still out, his talking has got him a title shot and fair play. Don't get carried away he has still not beaten a live contender. Silver, Poirier, Brandao, holloway, Brimmage. They are also rans, journey men.

Until he beats a Chad Mendes, Cub Swanson or Frankie Edgar then he's still not getting the title shot by making in roads into the division, so I'd hold off on talking his up yet.

He needs more experience before taking Aldo IMO.

Loved Aldo's response basically asking why everyone is getting so excited about a victory over Siver

In fairness, credit to McGregor, he looks relaxed, does it at his own pace but c'mon the opposition is cannon fodder (at this level)

Hyperbole. And nonsense. He did no such thing.

Amazingfun · 19-01-2015 05:24AM

:D well worth losing a night's beauty sleep. Can't wait til he fights Jose!!!!!!

I genuinely thought that was the childs mother, on second look is she a child or a quite small woman?

His technique and style is beautiful.

Makes it look so easy.

Next 1 is the champ...

His trash talk has got him his shot, it's certainly not the calibre of opponents he has defeated that's for sure.

It's a money game, he has made a name for himself and the fight will sell. Aldo isn't the only featherweight who would beat McGregor, but obviously Dana White doesn't want to risk his cash cow before feeding him to Aldo.

csallmighty · 19-01-2015 05:28AM

I'm never going to sleep after that. Absolutely buzzing

Are you being purposefully obtuse? He's fighting him next.

same apologize for my earlier comment so, didn't realize it was his girlfriend and i honestly thought that was a child!. Still think the fact McGregor hasn't beaten anyone at the top of the division will cost him when he fights Aldo, who knows maybe he will pull it off but i'm not 100% sold yet.
