Comments Thread For: Photos: Conor McGregor in Wild Post-Fight Party After Loss

Both Floyd and Conor are laughing all the way to the bank. I think Conor should also get an academy award for his performance before the fight with Floyd as best supporting actor. Masterful performances on both their parts.

Can't get away from the Classics. It was great!

What was a classic? You think that was a 'great' fight?
People were on the edge of their seat, but not because the action was great, intense, or ultra competitive. It was sloppy, ugly, and Conor spent much of his time trying to hide behind Floyd's back. He was not sure what part of the glove is legal to strike with, and he threw pitty-pat punches that an actual boxer would be criticized for throwing. It was interesting, but not exactly 'great' or 'classic'.

I was surprised to see McGregor drinking whiskey (Irish Whiskey) in the post fight press conference. What kind of fighter starts drinking immediately after a professional boxing fight?..., after a fight that he was stopped in? In the press conference he mentions how he always gasses out in fights and he says he has to figure out why he keeps gassing like that....Meanwhile he's downing a bottle of whiskey. Hahaha. Such a mystery If Connor is a regular drinker/ partier, he's going to be a shell of himself in 2 or 3 years from now. It's like Kovalev situation. Kov is a drinker and he tended to gas late in fights....Maybe not as bad as McGregor, but he would tend to gas out still. If you want to follow the path of a top athlete from peak to downfall, just pay attention to their lifestyle, their habits, their vices. Drinking and drugs always expedite the decline of a fighter. DeLahoya and Hatton are other examples. Near the end of their careers they were both well known for partying, drinking and doing coke.

Conor "Soda Popinkski" McGregor. But with whiskey. That should be his gimmick before fights.

True story about his whiskey line though.

Same here, and yes he was graceful after the fight. But since then;

Early stoppage
Wasn't hurt just fatigued
Would've come back and won
Floyd doesn't hit hard and isn't fast, just composed
Judges were biased

Just give the man some credit. You just fought a legend.

Yea your right. Oh, & when they showed the replay I caught it in the 2nd round & it looked like Floyd won that round....lol....I'm going to have to watch the whole fight again.

When you say "we", I assume you're talking about real boxing fans. "We" knew the outcome, and several of us still paid for the farce. But "we" didn't represent the majority. Most of the people that paid to see this aren't even what could be considered casual boxing fans. I had about 30 people over my house last night. Which BTW would never happened in a real fight. I prefer to watch those alone. But only one other person here was a hardcore fight fan. And most people here thought McGregor was gonna win. At work and everywhere else in the buildup, most people I talked to thought McGregor was gonna win. Those are the people that were robbed.

You should consider taxes being pulled out of our checks as being robbed.....anyone who put money into the fight had a choice.

Damn Conor has some bad *****es

It was a significant, high-profile match, but the actual fight was not all-that great. Nobody will be mentioning it in the same conversation with Zale-Graziano or Barrera-Morales.
