Which is exactly why tweets like the one from Kavanagh earlier have got to be counter productive to this whole thing. They need to find a path to reconciliation now while both saving face. Neither will want to attack the other particularly, they are worth too much money to each other.

Point is come on here posting nonsense like ""got that out of the way?" is going to lead to a ban. Your post count means you might not be familiar with the rules of boards of the forum, would suggest you go look at them.
Axwell wrote: » Fully expect him to be on the New York card too and have said it from when this all kicked off but at this stage he is over training with Gunni who has a fight in May anyways so the training is as much for Gunni as it is for McGregor. They have nothing to lose really trying to get things their way with these tweets, it will do very little damage. Dana will either fold or stand his ground, most likely stand his ground and then UFC 200 will go ahead without McGregor. They will say no more about it and UFC New York will be announced with McGregor on the card and Dana and him will be buddies again.

StringerBell wrote: » I enjoy a good semantics debate as much as the next man..........which is not very much tbh. If you don't want to admit him referencing them being the customers, asking them what they want to see, telling them to make some noise etc is encouraging them to not purchase or support the event....not to mention pressurize the company, good luck to you. If you think it helps smooth over anything between Conor and the company or that the company won't take that tweet to be an act discouraging people supporting the event, or need people to spell out absolutely everything to you, good luck also.

Swashbuckler wrote: » You completely missed the point of his tweet. He's asking the fans to make some noise to get Conor back on the card. In otherwords tweet Dana, UFC etc etc to push for Conor at 200. It's not a request to boycott.

StringerBell wrote: » Really? I appreciate that you interpreted it that way, except one thing. Why did he reference the people as customers, as in paying for something, and not simply fans in that case? There is a difference in "you are the fans, what do you want to see" And "its up to you now,you are the customers, what do you want to see" Why make reference to them being customers, and not fans?
Swashbuckler wrote: » Because the customer is always right. You the "customers" are the ones shelling out money. Push for Conor. They have to listen to you "the customers". I think you're being a bit pedantic to be honest. I take what he said at face value.
Tigger wrote: » cos promotion is to get customers to watch the fans will watch anyways
