it's literally in John's book and he has talked about it multiple timeseh, I'm calling bullshit unless its confirmed. I'm willing to give conor the benefit of the doubt here. It's easy to throw dirt on his name while he's shown to be a headcase. I rather stick with facts that I know.
Khabib fans are the biggest McGregor defenders and boot lickers no matter how many times he shows his true colors
“I used to run these little shows in Good Counsel (the GAA club) down the road and I’d give the guys tickets to sell and give them a commission or whatever,” Kavanagh explained. “So he had a bunch of tickets and all his mates were there, and he was ‘the name’, the rising star, but he was fighting this skinny little Lithuanian fella who just ran through him. I keep saying it – fighters don’t mind getting hurt, but they hate being embarrassed, and that was an embarrassment for him.”
After the loss, Kavanagh said that Conor was nowhere to be found.
“I didn’t see him and I didn’t see the money – I think he had already spent it.”
Kavanagh said that he “would never have seen” Conor McGregor again if it wasn’t for Conor’s mother calling him.
“I had no interest,” Kavanagh stated. “I had a lot of other guys coming through. Tom Egan was better than him; Owen Roddy was doing great; Ashling was starting to do well. I don’t put negative energy into chasing people who are not in the gym: if you’re not here, you’re not on my mind; if you are here, I’ll give you everything. So I wasn’t ringing him.”
“His mother was worried” Kavanagh said of Conor. “Her name was Margaret – my mother is Margaret too – and it was one of the first times, maybe the first time, that a parent had reached out to me. It got me thinking: ‘Maybe I have a bigger role here than punching and kicking. Maybe I’m doing a bit more for them than I thought.’ And I guess I started to realise that a lot of people get into fighting for the same reasons I did – it’s not for the fighting, they are dealing with something in their childhood.”
