He’s right. It probably would rain. Plus the permits & loss of Pay per view money. They only care about one thing: money. A major UfC bout may never occur in Croke Park.
It’s a comerisal sport with professional fighters. Of course its about the money The fighters only have a few year’s (if that) of being at the top there game. When they are retired from fighting what do you expect them to live on.
Philip I know guys that train with him regular and it’s all a way of getting inside the other guy’s head. He is supposed to be a good guy.
He is marmite and whether you love him or hate him its great to see an Irish athlete on the top of his game screaming for a title shot. If we had more people that opened there mouths and walked the walked with it we wouldn’t be messed around by bankers, politicians and others in this country.
Staged? No. Opportunistic? Almost definitely. Mcgregor seems to know how to play the game. I think he means what he says, he wants to prove himself – but he also knows that a confrontation like that will have fans salivating for the fight.
Hey come on it is all staged think about it, a leprechaun fighting a Brazilian in Vegas perfect, huge amount of people watching Irish americans, Brazilians …what a draw. UFC ching ching then its on to the next act maybe a China man and a yank???
Aldo is leagues ahead of Conor’s competition up until now. I actually think Frankie Edgar would give Conor trouble. It will be squeaky-bum time in May.
I said hes streets ahead of everyone mc gregor has fought till now! I saw aldo fight, impreessive! The bottom line is your still dont know how good C MCG is! May will tell! If aldo goes in and destroys MCG is that the end for him?
Just watched the presser, Love him or hate him, he’s pure entertainment, smarter than you’d think, and a potential goldmine for the UFC. And Middleton!
Unfortunately I think there will be a minority that will despise Conor Mc Gregor purely because he’s a Dub. Sad I know but theres a few people in the country that live sad lives. Well done conor

of course they only care about money, thats what business is all about.
I thought this was sport though?
MMA is a sport. UFC is a promotional business.

they could get a job and live on their salary?
Yea they could go get a placement with jobs Bridge as an intern in tesco.
Really all sport is about business and turning a profit even amateur sport is about business these days
McGreror’s an awful knacker. Not representative of Crumlin at all.
I’m not from Crumlin but I believe you might be wrong there . Far worse has come out of Crumlin .
I know. Me.
Don’t get me wrong. I believe the vast majority of Crumlin natives are salt of the earth. McGregor too but needs to act the part to earn his nickname.

#FightingIrisharetakingover!!
Does anyone understand sarcasm?? Watched the fight last night. Great stuff.
Anyone else think the confrontation at the end was staged? McGregor didn’t seemed to bothered trying to get past the first fella.
Staged? No. Opportunistic? Almost definitely. Mcgregor seems to know how to play the game. I think he means what he says, he wants to prove himself – but he also knows that a confrontation like that will have fans salivating for the fight.

I can’t help but feel aldo is notches above anything MC gregor fought and will be to good for him! Maybe I’ll be wrong
Aldo is leagues ahead of Conor’s competition up until now. I actually think Frankie Edgar would give Conor trouble. It will be squeaky-bum time in May.
He’s the champion Shane so obviously he’s better than everyone else!
I said hes streets ahead of everyone mc gregor has fought till now! I saw aldo fight, impreessive! The bottom line is your still dont know how good C MCG is! May will tell! If aldo goes in and destroys MCG is that the end for him?
If Edgar smothered him like he did against Cub Swanson it would be an extremely difficult fight for him.
I find the whole thing under whelming
Cheers Stephen
I hope Aldo puts manners on that notorious mouthpiece.
Viva las Vegas
I hope it does not clash with Slane !! Don’t think I could handle that much excitement in 24 hours .
Just watched the presser, Love him or hate him, he’s pure entertainment, smarter than you’d think, and a potential goldmine for the UFC. And Middleton!
And so the brooks fiasco comes back to bite ass
Pretty much. Thanks DCC.
Some one please knock this clown out and shut him up
Why do you want that Billy?
Good man Conor best of luck… The chap obviously puts in a lot of hard graft to get to that level and he is a bit mouthy but so was Muhammad Ali
Ah shite,unless I win the lotto “Ni raibh me ag dul “
I’m n vegas the week before. .wonder if I emailed Dana White would he reschedule?
McGregor is good, very good, but I think Aldo may give him a lesson.
Rubbish !
Unfortunately I think there will be a minority that will despise Conor Mc Gregor purely because he’s a Dub. Sad I know but theres a few people in the country that live sad lives. Well done conor
A little bit of class Goes a long way . This man is a great fighter but not a classy fighter .
What an embarrassing show-man-mouth… after the fight…
its a business he is making money for them and himself.He has no doubt proved himself to be a title contender and i think he will win it.
But what about sportsmanship, he makes a fool of himself and that is embarrassing as he is an ambassador for the sport as he is for Ireland?
No Michael, paddy Holohan is the ambassador!
You could say that every Irish person who travels abroad is an ambassador for Ireland too. Not just sports people?
