    Why shouldn’t they??

    The people who saw him for what he was early were condemning him before he ever even started on the slippery slope he’s on.

    If it’s good for the goose......

    FYP

    Mod: If you are going to go and do a FYP to what someone said then dont waste my time reporting someone else for doing it back to you. I have enough to be doing without dealing with your nonsense.

    Will there be video feed of the court appearance?

    It will streamed on fightpass.

    For $69.95.

    They’re expecting it to break all sorts of PPV records.

    Doubt it , be another like the speeding fine , plenty of cameras waiting for him outside i imagine

    He’s a decent lad really who just fell in with a bad crowd. I hope he can come back from this. In fact with support of true fans like myself, I’m sure he can.


    How gracious and forgiving of you.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,517 ✭✭✭EagererBeaver


    will the fan boys still defend him now

    The same people who thought the craic at the Ward fight in Bellator will say the same about this. It's only a bit of craic, it's great publicity, it's Khabib's fault for ganging up on Artem etc etc

    Nah too far this time.

    Disgraceful. I'd imagine hes going to lose a lot of that 100m from the Mayweather fight in law suits.

    However if he fights again it'll be the biggest fight ever. No such thing as bad publicity.

    Once the dust settles this will be a positive thing for him. Oddly enough.

    Anyone got the video of Khabib trying to get out of the bus that was mentioned earlier?

    It was his manager Ali that was talking and trying to get out of the bus, not Khabib.

    Imagine the “road to redemption” spin the UFC will put on this.

    I’d say Dana is already after commissioning a six part fly on the wall type documentary.

    Dana's on his third **** thinking about the marketing and the press tours already. Rocky IV in Russia sort of thing.

    Matt Damon to star as Dana White in a UFC production of “The fall and rise of Conor McGregor”.

    To be fair.. It kinda is.
    I have no problem with McGregor coming in to back up Artem over the **** Khabib pulled and the subsequent stuff that happened off camera (Artem did bring that on himself though with the comments he made)

    However, throwing **** around, breaking windows, injuring fighters etc
    That can't be excused or passed off as acceptable retaliation, that's just being a spa.

    Not a hope. He'll be making more money than before.

    Mike Tyson raped someone and it helped his career.

    Who paid for them all to go? Whose idea was it? This wasn't fisticuffs outside a pub - this was a group of (really fcking stupid) foreigners entering the USA with the intent and planning to carry out an assault. Like I said, they're all in serious sh1t-for starters it's the last time they'll be allowed enter the country.

    As if the scumbags Conor brought to New York could afford to go to the states by themselves anyways.

    The plan wasn't to smash the bus up. That just happened. There was a load of media, photos etc planned, open workout, fitness and so on. McGregor brought them all over on a private jet yesterday.

    Schaub thinks this was planned for a mega fight in Russia with Khabib...this was obviously before 3 fights were pulled and he was in jail.

    toady / toadie definition

    toady. n. "servile parasite," 1826, apparently shortened from toad-eater "fawning flatterer" (1742), originally referring to the assistant of a charlatan, who ate a toad (believed to be poisonous) to enable his master to display his skill in expelling the poison (1620s).

    no word from john, no

    McGregor and Cowley both charged. Cowley will be absolutely loving the notoriety. Biggest splash he'll ever be making on the international MMA stage anyway.

    How did it help his career? You'll have to explain that.

    Was it him actually throwing the barrier?

    I know he threw the trolley but seems to me all of the media have reported it wrong.
