I hate Mayweather but he could have ended Conor's life at any moment if he wanted. It wasn't a real fight.

He made Conor looka like Mickey Rourke. Oh I suppose those were real ko's too? Bwaaaahaaaahaaaaa!!!!!!
Sadly many people don't understand this at all. Even when it's right in their face. Go watch a lot of Mayweathers videos. He literally tells what he is doing. It's an exhibition, entertainment.

People also often forget that Floyd lost to the Big Show, so he is not really undefeated.

He also got worked over pretty good before that happened. That was almost a 10-8 round and could have been scored that way.

Out of curiosity, I looked it up and 2 of the 3 judges gave the first round to Poirier 10-8.

I've been of the opinion since 2018 ( see the video ) that he is mentally ill....sick in his brain that he has a death wish.....and some day I feel someone just might put him out of his misery once and for all.

More...

McGregor had dialed up the trash talk throughout the week leading up to the fight, but things escalated when the fight ended via doctor stoppage and Poirier was given the technical knockout. Visibly frustrated with how the match ended, McGregor sounded off on Poirier and even threated to kill him.

“Karma’s not a b–h, she’s a mirror,” Poirier told reporters after the fight. “There’s no holds barred with the trash talk, but murder is something you don’t clown around with.

“There’s no coming back from that, and this guy was saying he was going to murder me. He was telling me he was going to kill me … tomorrow I’m going to leave here in a coffin. You don’t talk like that to people, man. I hope this guy gets home safe to his beautiful family.”

When UFC commentator Joe Rogan handed McGregor the mic, the “Notorious” said he would take Poirier outside before turning his attention to Poirier’s wife, Jolie.

“Your wife is in my DMs,” McGregor said. “Hey baby, hit me back up on chat later on. We’ll be at the after party, the Wynn nightclub, baby. You look in bits, ya little h*!"

I agree, he is a talented fighter, but I think Conor has real issues. Mike Tyson was not only a superlative boxer, he too, was one messed up dude. Unfortunately, outrageous statements and even outrageous actions seem to rouse fan interest - like "Oh man, this guy is crazy, he's an animal, I have to see this fight!"... that, plus the backing organization seeking to protect their big moneymakers, means there are incentives and there aren't a lot of guard-rails to constrain these guys, whether these things are done as "an act" or as a pathology, at some point that distinction becomes unimportant.

I heard it said about comedian Andrew Dice Clay years ago and I think it applies to McGregor as well. Originally "Clay" was a character played by the comedian, but after years of doing the act, the man who played Clay, became Clay. From there there was no turning back. I think I see the same thing with Conor now as well.

I don't get why his decline has surprised so many people. He made it clear from the beginning that his goal was to get in, get rich, and get out. He has his money, at this point he's just milking whatever else he can squeeze out of his loyal fanbase. Post-Mayweather fight, the guy isn't training like he used to. He's more interested in flaunting his wealth. Every time he loses, we hear the nonsense about "Oh, this time Conor is motivated". No, he isn't.

What ever happened with the old man he punched in the bar?

Did what the old guy said to him ever get reported?

The guy just isn't as good as he hypes himself up to be? I honestly have gotten past the stupid **** he's done. I can't wait for the next fight.
