    Really? I've never heard that one before.

    At better excuse you could have come up with was that Khabibs cauliflower ears hindered his ability to hear McGregor say anything. You can use that one if you want, I'll let you.


    Na, I could just show you where khabib said a few weeks ago that he can't understand anything mcgregor says.

    What I said about remembering fights is true though, you sure you watch mma? Lots of fighters bring it up when doing interviews afterwards, when people ask how they thought the fight went.

    Yeah I'm sure I watch MMA, thanks.

    You referring to fighters who think they win and aren't happy with a decision or the ones who got knocked out and shouldn't be (are no longer) interviewed after a fight? Neither really matters, Khabib was there and heard what he said, as did most of the other people who listened back.

    Your subjective hearing and fanboy levels might hinder your ability to understand that.

    The only people with subjective hearing are those who think the audio contains the word its or only or business. In fact I can't even fathom how subjective hearing could make you hear 'its only business' I'm certain anyone that says that is either lying or never even paid attention to the audio. I've tried to convince myself it actually contained those words, because unlike many people I just wanted to find out what the audio really was, not just have something I can use to bash someone.

    Yes, everyone else has subjective hearing, has to be the case. Couldn't be that he did actually say that, and that you don't like that he said it.

    No, because if you actually analyze the audio it is literally impossible those words were said. The first word clearly beings with F, and the second word clearly begins with C or K. End of story. And I guarantee anyone who listens to the audio carefully would also come to that conclusion if they are being neutral.

    Jesus lads who cares. Obviously Khabib and Ali are going to say that's what he said regardless of what was actually said. Everyone's gonna twist it to suit their own bias so it doesn't really matter.

    I'm starting to really come around to the idea of Conor v Aldo 2. Have always wanted to see what would've happened if that fight went longer.

    You are the only one analyzing it, everyone else was just listening to it.

    Temp suspensions for McGregor and Khabib.




  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,683 ✭✭✭Subcomandante Marcos


    The Mirror and other reporting it as an "indefinate suspension" in their headlines trying to bait them clicks.

    Khabib got half his purse back. He'll get most of the rest of it back in December and a slap on the wrist suspension.

    Everyone else was just automatically believing the subtitles. Theres many people who think the quote is wrong not just me. Anyway I'm really done talking bout this now. I can't take these kind of replies seriously since hearing the cleaner version of the audio, just feel like I'm feeding trolls.

    Wouldn't be so sure as they called him the catalyst of it all.... both also have to appear in person in December, so should be interesting.

    Vegas at Christmas, can see them requesting a date change on that.

    They'll both be told they're very naughty boys, given a 6 momth suspension and a slap on the wrist and be aked to promise it will never happen again.

    Can someone link me the clean audio of 'it's only business'. What do we think he actually said?

    playing it 1.5 makes "throwing kisses" even clearer

    He most definitely didn't say "it's only business".

    Possibly said, "dont kiss us" but not even a fellow dub can be 100% certain, never mind Americans who dont get that we use "us" when we mean "me". This being the case, I wouldnt pay the blindest bit of attention to the likes of Paulie Malignaggi.

    Most important part is that there is an unmistakable c/k sound, so yes 'its only business' is completely out the window.

    Not getting into pointless arguments about it but if someone asks a question, don't see any reason not to reply

    Ok. Question. How can you be 100% sure what he didn't say but at the same the you haven't a notion what he did say, besides throwing kisses

    I don't think its throwing kisses. I already said what I think it is but its still totally possible to be able to cancel out one possibility without having the answer.
