Whittaker's just come out and said don't believe the rumours going around, but didn't mention what rumours.
I saw them everywhere, but never saw a source.

I seen that. But wasn’t sure if the rumours were the sick daughter, or the story that’s it’s not true.

He’s something personal going on. And has posted a lot of family pics lately. Wish him a fast returned either way.

Proper 12 one of the title sponsors for Wilder-Fury II. McGregor is no mug.

Conor would call out his ma for some retweets

It seems McGregor has gone full blown religious nut (may be a slight exaggeration). Many of his social media posts and interviews since just before the Cerrone fight made reference to God, The Lord etc and that trend seems to have increased post fight. Today's post about Italy being a prime example. I wonder if that has been some sort of influence from Tony Robins. Is he a Good botherer too?

ricero · 23-03-2020 12:32am

Fair play to Mcgregor and God. If it makes him happy and a better person than whats the fuss.

US2 · 23-03-2020 12:37am

How could religion possibly help him in a fight, where do you get this from.

I'm sure he's reading your post with a pen and notebook at the ready :rolleyes:

Right on the money. He only became religious after punching the old man in the pub. Nothing but a PR job to save his sponsors and brand. It certainly doesn't hurt that his target audience are the Americans, who eat it up very easily. Tony Robbins is a PR guru who always suggests using God to better yourself (your brand) when in times of trouble. Mcgregor taking Robbins advice with aplomb.

if someone adopts a "higher power" to their training it can only be positive.

i'm not remotely religious, but i also have zero discipline

if i chose and surrendered to a "higher power" and focused on my work for example, and every time i thought about drugs or alcohol or general debauchery and i meditated or prayed (or whatever you are supposed to do) everytime i was likely to slack off, and then concentrated on the task at hand, then i would accomplish my task more effectively , katie taylor is a good example , and i think many addiction specialists use it also.

i'm sure most people can train and not be bothered by drugs or alcohol....

You always ask yourself "is there a limit to how much lower the standard of the debate in the McGregor thread can go?" and the answer is always, always "no".

You think being inquisitive about someone's seemingly new found religious beliefs is lower than talk on supposed drug use, extra martial behaviours, speculation on various degrees of assault charges???

Oooooookay, suuuure!

Yeah I can get that angle, but with it often comes the ready made excuse for all loses, 'it was God's will'. People believe that no matter what they do God is in control of whether they win or lose.

Rehashing the 'Jesus loves knockouts' video clips with him and JK will be funny.

I wouldn't read too much into it or take it too personally, it was just a joke.

(But really, at the same time, nobody gives a **** whatsoever about religious ramblings on his Instagram)

You dont. If people are posting about it maybe they are interested? The only time you post on this thread is to moan about the topic of discussion, why not just unfollow it?

I do believe hes after copping on abit the past few months but his PR team or gone into overdrive

dave1982 · 25-03-2020 8:48am

He gassed half way through that address

yourdeadwright · 25-03-2020 11:04am

The whole speech yesterday was purely for his American audience
Anyone in Ireland sees that and laughs thinking WTF but American's think every man women and child in this country idolise him
Its great marketing ,wait till his next UFC fight roll around in the build they have some video about the man who lifted his country in time of need ,

The Nal · 25-03-2020 1:28pm

I get the impression its more aimed at the gangs of teenagers who were still out in the parks etc.

Ush1 · 25-03-2020 2:34pm

Looks like he's back on the Pat!

US2 · 25-03-2020 2:41pm

His reply to Pashcal Donoghue was definitely fuled by white stuff.

hots · 25-03-2020 3:11pm

Fueled by ego and self-importance more than the white stuff I'd say.

No no, "what an ego maniac", "loves the white stuff", "all show" etc.

25-03-2020 6:02pm

Donating 1 million is a great gesture.

I wonder what the people giving out about him are doing?

i have pretty much a love hate thing with him since 2014 , but i doubt anybody can deny what a massive gesture that is , and how much it will help the industry

simongurnick · 25-03-2020 7:10pm

Fair play to Conor. The begrudgers sound even more pathetic.

Some will still find a way deride the gesture.
PR stunt, tax fiddle, etc

fitzparker · 26-03-2020 10:01am

Sure a "facebook friend" was going mad because it was just Leinster he was donating too

you can't win with some people, he could have donated 100 million and be told sure thats only €100 to him

fitzparker · 26-03-2020 12:42pm

Anyone see Darren Till?

Starts the week off great with the video to Isreal (comical)

Ended with promoting his friendship to Daniel Kinahan

riffmongous · 29-03-2020 1:58am

See Conor was the top headline of the BBC Sport section earlier calling for the army to be put out on the streets of Ireland, I couldn't tell from reading the article quotes how serious it was

Didn't Darren career really start because he had to pull a runner form Liverpool and ended up living in Brazil ? he's no stranger to that kind of world ,

Yeah he got stabbed badly and his coach at the time sent him to Brazil after and that's how he turned pro.

Yeah, she's nuts, but it does sound like the type of stuff he says. Didn't he send similar to Blindboy? I'd well believe he sent it.

Yeah to be fair I wouldn't put it passed him, I just find it very hard to take her serious so everything she says would be taken with a truckload of salt.

Whelo79 · 01-04-2020 12:49pm

Hang on, she's mad as it is anyways, but she said she messaged him ages ago asking him to use his voice to speak out about corruption and then accusses his fan base of being a 'seriously dummed down cohort". That same fan base she no doubt wanted him to speak to in her request for a video?

So he never responded to her video on corruption request but got a 3am message today that just said "Hello Gemma". So she DM'd him back, calling him a puppet and giving him abuse for an embarrassing video message. Did she expect a "sound, thanks Gemma" response from him? And she's very selective only reading out one line of his "long winded" response which she wants to perceive as a threat.

She's absolutely crackers.

dave1982 · 10-04-2020 10:46pm

Conor off on one again bout the corona.. He's even got Dublin Airport responding to him ðŸ˜‚

rob316 · 12-04-2020 11:25am

Hes having a twitter war with stena line, its actually brilliant the back and forth.
