Connor McGregor: From the welfare line to 100 million dollar payday

[HarvardBlue]

Connor knows the struggle of humble beginnings. Floyd for all his posturing can't relate. His dad made decent money in boxing and you never hear about Floyd being a welfare child. Connor is from more humble background and it shows in his fighting style. He fights for his family and his people. Reading How tough he had it and how he made it big makes me respect him even more.

You do realize Mayweather helped put him in the position to make all that money right?

Wrong country. You're thinking of Northern Ireland lol.

The only action Dublin saw during "The Troubles" was before the 80's and even then it wasn't much at all.

Carl Frampton grew up in a war zone though.

I know you're trolling anyway.

January 30 1972 will never be forgotten.

There's a lot of ignorance about connors upbringing by a very rosy view from someone that says he was there. The IRA walked the streets with machine guns. I saw it on the news i remember the 90s very well. The fighting might not have been localized in Dublin but heavily armed rebel fighters issuing curfews is something connor grew up with. Floyd couldn't imagine that life.

He hasn't just lived in Crumlin. He's said in a few interviews he grew up in the worst parts of Dublin.

Floyd is the one that'll get the 100 mil payday..not conor..

Wrong.

Connor put himself in that position. Do you think mayweather would fight an unknown UFC fighter? No he's fighting the biggest name in all of combat sports. Connor is the A side too which is why this fight is happening.

Conor is 100 times harder and respected in the streets compared to Floyd.

No one on the streets knows Floyd. He grew up in the suburbs. Connor lived with men walking around with uzis strapped to their chest.

why should he go back to the ufc after getting paid 100million? he can just retire and live a long healthy life
