Never said it was. There's a big difference in asking if you can get a pic and just shoving a camera in someone's face though. Generally asking will get you a pic. If not, have the decency to **** off and not try get one anyway.

I know that's not what really happened with the phone smashing, but I doubt he was being sound either

I thought it had already been established that the guy was goading Conor about his loss to Khabib?

If that's the case he deserved his phone smashed!

Could have been, can't remember the details as it was a while back. As I said, I doubt he was being sound anyway.

well its better than whiskey, a hit of sugar to keep you going at half time or between rounds. people like mcgregor shouldn't be allowed promote alcohol.

Why would that be exactly?

pgj2015 wrote: »

Because most of his fans are kids and we have a bad enough problem with alcohol consumption in the country, has he not enough money

So one fella promoting his whiskey is gonna turn all kids into alcoholics? Celebs endorse drinks all the time, some also have their own drinks.
Kids aren't that susceptible...


Anyway, hopefully a fight is announced soon

That doesn't change the fact that there is no expectation of privacy in a public place which the other poster tried to claim.

That's correct.

However, it typically applies in relation to filming crowds, catching people in the background of public places. But there are relevant laws.
Specifically, and aggressively targeting one person doesn't breach privacy laws, but it is definitely considered harassment.

Some sports drink between rounds is fine for athletes. But what has that got to do with kids?

Kids get much more exposure to alcohol at home. It's ingrain in society, for right or wrong. Conor's whiskey isn't going to make the slightest blip on alcohol consumption in Ireland.
Realistically it's out of the price range for most teenagers. Teens go for what ever was cheap. Tesco and aldi vodka will contribute more to kids drink spirits than proper 12.

8 weeks out to from his alleged return. If there's nothing announced this week probably load of bull?

Fight announcement coming before the end of next week.
The headliner of this Las Vegas card is not gonna be Ortega vs a Korean Zombie!!

If Conor fight is too be announced for a January card then id say it will be announced either at the Usman press conference or before it so Conor v opponent can attend the presser.

Classic 2019 McGregor. loads of bluster but nothing tangeable for weeks afterwards.

Its coming up to Xmas busiest time for whiskey sales so he's doing his annual promotion push. I'm telling ya lads he has no interest in fighting just pretending he does.

What's amazing is how you can have 2 completely different spellings of his surname within the same sentence!

And the Reebok spelling for Alvarez

Lads in reality he’s not fighting on that January date he “announced” a few weeks ago is he?
Probably a self proclaimed date to try and force the hand of the UFC, or have himself look good.

No chance, there's fights being announced left right and centre for events in Houston and Raleigh, not a sniff of any fight for January in Vegas. If there was an event in January, there'd atleast be some prelims being organised by now.

3 fights organised, but not officially announced, on MMA junkie.

I've no idea if Conor will be fighting on 246. But the face that 245 is mid december, I'd be pretty sure that 246 will be in jan at some point. I can't see them leaving it 7+ weeks between events at that time of year

Anyone here actually think conor will give up his Christmas training watching what he eats and drinks. He's not short of money. If irc he said something before about not fighting close to Christmas

No. From what I hear hes very very focused this time around.

Ah, I didn't realise that. Nevertheless I still don't think McGregor will be fighting that night. If it is Cerrone, who never says no to a fight, why wasn't this wrapped up and announced weeks ago?

Possibly to announce it at a PPV event that’ll have eyes on it.
Look at it this way, somebody is headlining UFC 246 in January. And that somebody hasn’t been announced yet. For whatever reason.

Looks like Jones is fighting Reyes at 247 in Feb.
