I've expressed my opinions about some of the MMA's best fighters and how they show themselves, and I've gotten various responses, mostly negative, but that's OK! Everyone has a right to their own opinion! That being said, I just saw a clip of a news conference with Alvarez and McGregor. Can anybody act worse than McGregor? Yes, it was disrespectful of Alvarez to throw his chair down NEAR McGregor, but it was only near him, not on him!! Then he comes up with ". . . it all stinks without me!" How egotistical can you get. I've said before that fighters like Jones and McGregor are great fighters!! I've never tried to take that away from them! But they act like little children who don't get their way!! And like the rules (another subject recently mentioned by McGregor!) don't apply to them because of it!! I was told something about events being PG or R rated. Do you think that really matters? Is that the only place that kids could see them?? Hell, I could be a kid and lie about my age and be writing this RIGHT NOW!!!!! And how about the news? My point is that they are really NOT acting like role models, but your kids are treating them as such!! I love watching the fights. I have ever since I WAS a kid!! I watched the Clay/Liston fight (before he was Ali!)!! But if I had kids, I don't know how much access they'd have to the net!! I really don't think I'd want my kids seein' how these little babies act and let them use that as how they can act in the world!! It's messed up enough as it is without addin' this behavior into the mix!! I'll not mention any names (truth be told, I can't remember them 'cause I deemed the unimportant!!), but most of the NAY sayers acted exactly like I describe: little children!! Great examples to kids!! Is it any wonder young people act as they do with people here acting like "gangstas?!?"

I´ve never tought that athletes, entertainers and such should be role models, I dont agree when society in general  demads them to behave as role models, is not their job, if kids look up to them thats fine, but its the parents job to explain to their kids no to do everything they see others doing, its the parents job to educate them.
I doint have kids, but I dont think I would mind them watching the weigh ins yesterday, I would have pointed to the screen and tell them you should never act like that, its not ethical, its not professional and it will make you a morron.

it would be my job to teach them, **** me as a parent if I want an un prepared (in education) stranger  to educate them in life. if some one is going to ruin their life (I would try not to) it s gonna be my wife and I not some stranger on TV.

having said, that, Conor is a brat, I  cant tell if yesterday scuff was real or staged but he is a morron and a brat, no doubt about that.

If Mayweather baits him long enough will McGregor box?

I've been watching the back and forth between Mayweather and McGregor. Conor cools off a bit, "Money" fans the flames, Dana White says it will not happen, Joe Rogan says how Conor could beat him, "Money" throws gas on the coals, now Conor is back with 'I'm going to shock the whole goddamn world'. Irish just can't stand bein' taunted. "Money" saw this right off and has been using it seemingly to perfection!!! So, what does anybody think? Will this fight happen or not??
