MILLIONS OF PEOPLE have seen Mick Konstantin’s song dedicated to Conor McGregor at this stage.
You can’t crack open Facebook these days without it popping up, and it’s a catchy number:
McGregor himself even gave it a share, as its infectious lyrics and bouncy ukulele got stuck in everyone’s head.
Now McGregor has gone one step further than just a simple Facebook share – he’s bringing Mick to the fight against Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas later this month.
In an in-depth interview with the MMAFighting YouTube channel today, he was asked about the build-up to the fight, the widespread accusations of racism, and what he expects in two weeks’ time.
He was also asked about Mick’s viral song – and McGregor revealed he’d already been in touch:
It was one hell of a song, it’s a very catchy song. We actually reached out to the guy. I had my people reach out to the guy and we’re booking him a flight, him plus one. I’m going to bring him over to the fight and get him tickets and put him up in a hotel, and I’ll meet him after the fight. It’s one hell of a song.
YES.
He couldn’t confirm whether Mick was going to play him out to the ring, but had nothing but nice things to say about the tune:
I’m going to bring him in as a thank you for the support. What a song, it’s the journey in music form. Myself and my team, we enjoyed it very much, and we’re going to fly the guy out. Him and a friend.
Mick said last night on TV3′s The Six O’Clock Show that he’s “free that weekend”, so he’d better get the bags packed.
And don’t forget the ukulele, he might be needing it.

Is that really worthy of an article?
@Teddyzigzagbigbag: Yes, yes it is. Discrimination should always be challenged snd it should be highlighted that someone in his position had the balls & awareness to so.
Nonsense. I think it was a ridiculous thing to comeback and say. The journalist quite clearly meant men’s tennis, the competition that Murray competes in. Can’t believe he’s gettin credited for this.
@Matthew Thompson: Exactly. He was just being pedantic and knows the feminists and PC police would lap it up. Anymore of this carry on and he can get the snip and join the WTA.
@Matthew Thompson: he’s no longer Scottish now he has lost
He’s British again
Why didn’t he also clarify what underage or senior American players have made the semis since 2009? Soooo ageist.
@Dermot Byrne: what about the Bryan Brothers? Sooo quantityist
Really is there any need to post this tripe on the 42. Fair enough on the primarkesque teenage girl feminist blog that the Daily Edge has become…
Unfair on the journalist, it’s the same as saying the USA have never won the World Cup in an interview after a mans game.
Holy shyte, What a complete non-story. Of course the reporter ment “Male Player” It was implied in the context of the situation, Men’s Tennis. Does anyone serious think this reporter doesn’t know of Serena Williams or that he intended any disrespect whatsoever?
Murray, a totally uncharismatic guy deflecting attention away from his loss which he claims was down to hip injury but the previos day claimed was not an issue. Good luck to him, his Mammy is proud of him!
There’s an article further down the page about Chris Martin from Coldplay visiting a gym in Dublin… why are you’s not over there banging on about articles being irrelevant??
I like Murray even less now.
Andy Murray. The only sports personality that makes steve Davies look like a party animal. Paint drying is more exciting to watch than Murray in an interview. A complete plonker Rodney. Correcting the journalist was complete nonsense..the subject was clear as day..mens singles. .
Well, unsurprisingly a bunch of people on here giving out stink about this, as there always is. I personally was delighted to see AM make this point. Don’t care if you call me a “feminazi” or PC pedant.
I’m fine with his comment but not so much the holier-than-thou article making a big deal of it.
What a stupid article…and Murray just being an arrogant knobhead. Reporter was asking a simple question…
@Kev Creed: what a stupid comment kev are you being an arrogant knob head? just asking a simple question
