When Conor talks about riding horseback into a favella in Brazil (which is a historical atrocity of colonialism) then people are okay.

You’re not even in the fight business but you wanna talk about what’s too far? Stay in a fans place.

[@ghostyzona]

This interview actually makes me respect Colby a little more. Although he does take it too far, He was gonna lose his job and him and his entire family would have suffered to some degree. So he started acting a fool and sacrificed his reputation so that he could continue being the financial pillar for his family that he is today. People who have decided to take full responsibility for themselves and the people around them know the sacrifice that it takes. The person doing the sacrificing will experience most of the suffering and not tell anyone about it.

People also knew the Rock was a character. But it’s still fun to watch I don’t get why they think they are exposing him by saying this. If people think he’s for real then they have to be an idiot

[@e.s.1873]

I dont get why all the fighters just complain that the promotional aspect is so important. Sports are at the end of the day an entertainment product. Its just part of the job. The few Covingtons, Mcgregors, O'mailleys out there have figured that out and they are all successful.

You can’t call it a “Conor McGregor effect” This is why people loved Muhammad Ali. (In speaking of other combat athletes with “big personalities”) This isn’t MMA, Wrestling Fans, or Conkr McGregors fault. People like a star. People don’t want a normal person on tv.
