Still think they will be easier to come by than 189

Without the McGregor crowd tickets will be easier to source than you'd think, most of the crowd who went to vegas didn't even have a clue what was going on to be honest.

There are multiple levels of real fans.

1.) he is my mate from Crumlin
2.) I train in SBG with him
3.) I was a fan since Cage Warriors in the Helix
4.) Managed to miss the prelims but made it to the main card for UFC Dublin.
5.) Holiday to Vegas to watch the McGregor fight with de lads/me fella.

Yeah I could've explained that better to be honest. I was referring to the group number 5 guys who went over for hype and a summer holiday, nothing wrong with that either by the way, just I don't reckon as many casual followers will go in December therefore tickets should be a bit easier to get, as I said I could of been a bit clearer

Yeah out of the thousands of irish there in July a heap of them came in just before McDonald fight, and there were lots of J1 guys that won't be close by to attend however there are now two very big US fighters on the card and the Brazilians that didn't come in July will attend.

Plus the guys who went to Boston that maybe skipped the next event. If the calibre of fights keeps to this height I think it will be tough to get tickets. I am 50/50 if I go I would prob have to skip Dublin and I don't think that is the answer as I have been watching for too many years before Conor to skip a Dublin event. Don't think I fit into one of the 5 above Although I was at the Helix.

Still nothing from McGregor or Aldo, No press conference no twitter. WTF is going on?

Conors still filming TUF I think and Jose is in Brazil where there's no Internet or computers.

Hopefully they are relaxing the hype train, over saturation of the hype will piss off lots of fans and is Conor still in the middle of the TUF job?

Joe.ie will have lots of comments about mcgregor love, believe lots of non fans are sick to the teeth of seeing him.

Presume Conor will do him camp in Vegas again, wonder will he have as many with him though? Surely some of them won't be able to go over with him if this trend continues. Wonder if he has plans to use some locals to help him.

Joe.ie deserve all the stick they have been getting the sites gone to the dogs full of so much **** it's ridiculous.

Kavanagh wrote in an article for 42.ie that they would do 10 weeks in Dublin and the last 4 in Vegas this time

Am I a 2.5 then?

Only been to 1 Cage Warriors event and that was Pendred vs Mills headlining.

But I saw McGregor twice before his CW reign, at Chaos Fighting Championships in Derry. Won both impressively in the first.

Book MGM if you can afford it

Looking at Luxor, since it's still walking distance it's surely worth saving the €100 or so no?

It's "walkable" but it's not close. It's also across Las Vegas Boulevard, which is a pain to cross.

If you want to sae a few quid is check;
NewYork NewYork : directly across and connects to the MGM lobby by A walkway.
Ballys: the original MGM from the 60s. Has the biggest rooms on the strip, and at the tram stop adjacent to

Thanks guys Booked the MGM in the end. Worked out at €846 PP for 5 nights. Excited isn't the word :P

Not to worry, if I could miss any of the three it'd be the open workouts. They were fun but they did drag on a bit

What time is the press conference usually around?

I think it was about 10.30am local time, in the KA theatre in the MGM itself. Seriously cool theatre. There were gangs of Irish queing from about 8am to get in by all accounts, but there really was no need because you could just land up at 10.15 and get in just as easy.
