    Good. People on here were saying Sonia O'Sullivan was a bigger star.

    Lets not be so dramatic lads it was a 40 minute boxing match of little consequence.

    I actually enjoyed the boxing match with Floyd. Obviously it wasn't very competitive but I enjoyed the spectacle. Always love getting to see a master like Floyd at his craft and sure it was something different.

    It was like organising a 100m race between Marty Morrissey and Usain Bolt.

    Not really, that would be a lot shorter. If Mayweather knocked him out in the first 10 seconds it might be somewhat valid.

    I'm talking about relative skill at boxing, not duration.

    Fight was fairly competitive. McGregor did ok, didn't embarrass himself. He was never going to win but took his TKO (and 100m quid!) like a man against maybe the greatest boxer of all time.

    It's not skill really that Bolt has over Morrissey, it's gigantic physical advantages.

    That's true but the analogy was made to show the gulf of the mismatch, not an attribute comparison.

    Lads there's only one was to settle this. Someone has to kill Bono so we can count how many people go to his funeral.

    I think Bono plays badminton, therefore would that get him into the argument of Ireland's best known sports celebrity?

    In fairness Bono never knocked up a skank when playing an away match, even though he was never afraid to travel for some game.

    completely. he did not bother to fight like he would against an actual boxer with his trademark shell defensive posture.

    it was effectively a fixed fight where Mayweather could choose how it was going to play out.

    I'm no expert however I believe Mayweather carried him through the fight.

    First they came for the socialists...

    I think so too but he was a bit wary of McG for the first few rounds.

    Course he did. At anytime in that fight Mayweather could have opened up and destroyed him. Total no contest. He let it go a few rounds for a bit of entertainment. That's it.

    Would've been a very dangerous punch if Mayweather left himself open like this to a an actual boxer.

    I assume you mean Mayweather there. I'm a McGregor fan and I knew people who were betting money on McGregor to win. I couldn't understand it at all. He was only 3/1 or 4/1 and people thought they were great odds when realistically he only had a slim chance of winning it. It was crazy stuff.

    There’s no disputing it in my opinion that he’s the most famous Irish sports star but “the most famous” doesn’t necessarily mean the most talented, supported or even liked.
    I’d say in the last year alone he as racked up more negative headlines than positive.
    In other words, he’s a gobshlte.

    People said the same about Roy Keane. Its only that time has passed that peoples opinions have softened. See also Alex Higgins. McGregor will be the same. Assuming these allegations aren't true.

    Roy Keane was passionate and fiery on the pitch, I can accept and understand that. McGregor is a thug both inside and outside the ring in my view, irrespective of recent allegations. Don’t know the other bloke.

    Conor literally didn't know how to punch with boxing gloves on, Maidana hit Floyd with half that power and rocked him.

    Mayweather maybe under estimated him a small bit but could have finished him whenever he wanted, was thinking of the money if it was organized again is why he left it go so long

    McTapper was never funny. It's always been stupid. However, it's slightly less shít than McNuggets. El Tappo was actually pretty good given he was doing the whole El Chappo thing at the time. It gave me a laugh at the time. Why any one would use McTapper instead of El Tappo I will never know.

    Mctapper is the name that stuck - get over it!

    El tappo is massive in Latin America but mctapper is North America and Europe.

    That's kind of sad really. I get that you don't like him but shouldn't begrudge anyway that is successful

    I don’t care either way about him.

    I’d happily have a drink with him and Dee - once he was paying and AFTER the court case whether he is acquitted or else after he does his time in prison.

    No I mean they made me a lot of my by backing McGregor. In a sane world the odds on Mayweather would be 1/25. The whole country backed McGregor though and totally skewed the odds and gifted those who have the slightest clue about boxing.

    Did Floyd let Conor land that big uppercut on him just for the craic as well? Got bored of dodging everything so he decided to see what all the fuss was about with this getting punched in the face thing?

    The fight was a mismatch with a foregone conclusion from the jump, but don't take it too far lads.

    Genuine question, why do McGregor fans refer to him constantly by first name? Conor this and Conor that. Both online, in gyms, pubs etc.

    You'd think all these people knew him in person. Makes them sound like fawning kids.

    With all his wrap the green flag around me BS I'd say you only have to go back a few generations to find he's a Scot.

    As much of a scumbag as he is McGregor is our most famous athlete right now, Living in Beijing i promise you they haven't a clue who Padraig Harrington, BOD or Sonia o Sullivan are. Some of them know Roy Keane tho lots of Utd fans around the place. I'd say top 3 is easily McGregor, Keane and Rory. In fact him being so famous is one reason i hate him so much. I hate that when people think of a famous Irish person they think of that knuckle dragger. The man and has fans have presented a terrible image of our country, like seriously what must people have thought of our country watch the great unwashed in Vegas after he Mcgregor got destroyed by Khabib.
