Why does Ariel Helwani always defend Conor McGregor?

[TidWell]

Ariel never shits on him, Ariel is known to start shit and cause division with fighters and stir the pot. But with Conor he gets defensive and always makes excuses. Why?

 

[culebra_solida]

he don't want to lose his job at ESPN, that's why

 

[Fatback96]

Ariel is a casual. Him and Schaub.

 

[Myrddin Wild]

Who alwayz gets the Conor interviewz & wants to keep getting them.

Mystery solved.

You my friend are asking the right questions

 

[Mixfight]

Shillwani.

 

[My2Cents]

Because Conor is the biggest payday

 

[Moro]

Because he’s a Conor nuthugger like 90% of Sherdog.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Helwani knows his place.

90%?

I don't think that means what you think it means..

Conor haters be like..

It's not 2015/16 anymore.. most people have a kind of sober view on conor these days..

 

[KeepItRealist]

Conor's a star. No doubt Conor's people agree to interviews and to give him information first. Real quid pro quo.

Ariel is quite a weasel about it tho. You see him praising and defending people like Eddie Hearn for the same reason.

 

[ObamaPhoneLady]

Remember the time Ariel got drunk?

I remember.

 

[lizardpeople]

Ariel used to be against Dana but now he's got a sweet gig with ESPN

Basically he's a paid shill and doesn't want to go the way of Luke Thomas.

 

[3nigma]

So he can continue to get interviews with him.

 

[LittleSmokey]

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

he don't want to lose his job at ESPN, that's why

That's too logical. Stop making sense.

 

[Moro]

90%?

I don't think that means what you think it means..

Go look at the threads with almost everyone writing off Cowboy lol. Tell me it’s not 90% of Conor dickriding. Bunch of casuals apparently never seen Cowboy fight. As if it’s gonna be a 1 shot KO stiffness right off the bell.

 

[josephsjoseph]

business. conor doesn't do interviews with people who criticize him to much. but I also don't think there is much to criticize. we should be focused on fighting.
