Hopefully Mellor but the optics don't look good to be fair.

Anyway atleast a donation was made and alot of good will come if it.

Somebody posted the foundation tax return on Reddit. Was something like 500k revenue and 180k expenses. I can understand McGregor’s team wanting clear information when the donation was equal to their entire revenue.

The donation was independent, but Dustin has praised it. Ultimately it’s about helping. Not social media points. If direct donation helps the most, then it makes sense.

Dustin spoke about in on the MMA hour

It's not my money -- it's the people's money," Poirier said of McGregor's pledged donation. "I don't know why people think that or get that from. ... It wasn't a slap in the face. It was a high-five, because the people in the community are going to win."

Chimaev has smeshed his Mercedes. I can't put my finger on it but I have such a dislike for that guy

Without even googling I was sure that it was given to him by Ramzan Kadyrov.
He'll be gifted another

Bingo! It was indeed a Kadyrov gift.

I dont like Chimaev either. He's fought 2 complete and total cans and talks like hes just run through the entire division.

His new child was just born.

Rían McGregor.

Fair play, hope everyone is healthy.

What weight was the baby?

8 foot tall and 300lbs like Diaz in the first fight

Same weight as the other baby born in the ward, but there was a noticeable size difference..........Conor Jnr looked small in comparison



:rolleyes:

He's spending a noticeable time out of the country at the moment, it's almost as if he taken a leaf from the Denis O'Brien rule book and becoming a tax exile. Considering he waves the Irish flag and he was happy to claim his social welfare when he was too lazy to have a job and train at the same time, it's a bit of a kick in the balls to the Irish state that he'll be paying tax elsewhere.

So the baby was born in the Middle East then?

How do you thing fighting in the states works, exactly?

The restrictions didn't allow for training here.

So do you think he should have been here not training or somewhere else where he could train?

It's a lot more complex than that. It's 183 days in the past year or 280 days over 2 years. Also, you are still considered tax resident in Ireland for 3 years after you leave. So, if McGregor didn't want to be consider tax resident here he would have needed to say most 183 days a year here since 2018.

Interesting. I thought it was straight forward enough, be interesting to see what he does then. Kinda confused about the whiskey sale, if he has sold it on, what's the attraction now he has nothing to do with the brand? Surely sales drop now he has no part of the company? Or does he still have a stake?

He’s partners bought out full equity in the company. That’s his ownership stake. But not any salary or endorsement deal he had would remain.
If he didn’t have one before he should have, but they certainly would have offered one as part of the buy out as they are well aware that he is the brand.

Very off topic but someone might be able to help me with this one. I'm filling out a Birthday card for a friend that turns 50 this week and is a big MMA fan (watches and trains it). I want to include a well wish along the lines of "You're not 50 - it's 5 perfect 10-point rounds"

Can't seem to nail down the right words though. The above doesn't sit right in my mind. Any thoughts on how I could make it flow better?

A championship fight where you win every round is scored 50-45 so something like " and the new champ by unanimous decision of 50-45 against Life ". Surely that can be improved by someone else maybe?

Nice Job! That's a great improvement. Appreciate this.
