Just kidding, it's Conor McGregor. It makes so much more sense to put a guy on from a combat sport you have no ties to. It would make absolutely no sense to feature fighters from your network on your highest rated program. Cross promotion is ******. I mean, I understand HBO doesn't produce the show, they merely pay a licensing fee to air it. Rejecting Conor for the show would be like telling Arum what fighters he can and can't put against his guys on HBO.

Not really a guy who follows the show, but I doubt that Game of Thrones is set in a world that would've worked with Alvarez and Ward having major parts, And though they've had mute characters before, I doubt that bringing in Kovalev and Golovkin to play mutes would help anything.

Not sure how they mask the height (McGregor is all of 5'9), but an Irishman speaking in English is something that they can use in the GoT world.

that would be comedy seeing them try to talk in a british accent

Mcgregor's got the accent and mannerisms naturally to fit in game of thrones, just give him the apparel. Issue here is he's probably a horrible actor. Plus they shoot some part of GOT in Ireland, so should be accessible to Conor.

HBO produces the show. HBO sets approves the budget and gives writers complete freedom to write the show, but it's a HBO show:

The Sopranos
The Wire
Deadwood
Oz
Westworld
Curb your enthusiasm
True Blood
Band of Brothers

and Boxing after dark all HBO shows. It makes sense they'd feature GGG show, say in Westworld as an extra or in a cameo, not Connor. One promotes the other. Just like the 90's and 00's Lampley would say don't forget to watch the finale of Oz or the Sopranos on HBO.

Yea but doesn't seem like they're interested in promoting boxing anymore
