    Nailed it. The plastic bag in the corner and the pants from River Island give it away. Not to mention the cardinal sin of blavy.

    Surely that particular demographic constitutes a large portion of travelling McGregor fans.

    Lads where’s the Joe Brolly chat?

    You mean the exchange between him and JK? Was on Twitter.

    Not that much said but John did concede that smashing up the bus wasn't acceptable.


    https://twitter.com/TheSundayIndo/status/1051213569533054976?s=19


    Vaguely remember in JK's book McGregor did something at the end of a fight which annoyed him and he told him never to do that again, anyone remember what that was?

    I suppose those amateur level fights are a bit different and some antics (certainly not all) are more excusable in the UFC than they would be at lower levels.

    Joe Brolly had to be reigned in when RTE were doing Ireland's Greatest Sporting Moment or something like that last summer when he was having a personal attack on Barry McGuigan

    I'm as open minded as anyone, but an MMA bout seems like a really bizarre place to get married.

    Only if Yamasaki is officiating the wedding. The bride and groom would be half dead before he married them.

    The cornerman/fighter that punched Conor in the back of the head and boasted about it in Instagram will not be back in the UFC.

    Video just went up from tmz where they asked Dana if Khabibs cornerman are fired. Very non committal. "let's see how this thing plays out".

    No doubt in my mind he'll be back.

    I know the fight purses are big. But what is McGregor earning in sponsorship deals with Burger King, Beats by Dre and Monster Energy drinks. What's that money like? He has other sponsorships too, doesn't he?

    Every time he posts a product on Facebook and Insta he must getting a lot of money considering he has nearly of 30 million followers on insta. You'd imagine to advertise to 30 million people you have to pay a lot...

    The interest alone on his bank acc must be in excess of million a year?

    $365 mill for 11 fights

    Mayweather made $300 for mcgregor ( that’s what has been spouted about )

    That's just what he's guaranteed. He will more than double that when his share of PPV sales and advertisement money is factored in.

    Not bad money.

    You've just invested 365 mill in someone. Seems like a big investment to make sure Canelo never loses... You've got to be risk adverse for the fist few fights at the very least. That's the problem with these huge deals. They might wait until GGG is forty to be sure...

    Did Roddy ever get that final vlog up, or does the result determine whether it's released?

    Enjoyed the final one made for the 2nd Diaz fight.

    Well, if that's what they believe, then McGregor is the most successful MMA fighter whoever lived in their eyes.

    That a boxer earns 365 million is a separate sport and issue.

    I think Canelo has under sold himself there. As a native Spanish and English speaker, an appeal that stretches across the Americas (and the world) and boxing is biggest in that cultural community, he's worth more than that for 11 fights. Canelo is boxing's biggest draw now and a hero in South America, if you offered Mayweather 365 mill for 11 fights Mayweather would laugh at you. But when someone sees that figure...hard to turn down...

    I don't know shít about boxing but if the events were PPVs then it would increase the money he'd make (either through increased payment for the contract or through a PPV cut) but regardless I'd say he's pretty happy right now.
