California State Athletic Commission - Nevada State Athletic Commission refused him a licence because he had an outstanding $60,000 fine which I assume he must have paid as the fight is now in Vegas.
It's far easier than it should be to get a licence.

I did actually know this, more of a rhetorical question. Horrible horrible decision making, just like when - for some reason - Freddie Flintoff was granted a license.

Difference being that Flintoff fought a couple of nobody's. McGregor is fighting one of the all-time greats.

Difference being that McGregor has had professional fights, Flintoff was a complete combat sport amateur.

First press conference yesterday, expected trash talking was pretty amusing. Mayweather obviously got the hump about it as they cut McGregor's mic so he couldn't talk back. Can't remember seeing Floyd looking so wound up. McGregor also turned up in a suit that had pinstripes created out of text saying 'FUCK YOU'
Can't get at all excited about the 'fight' but i, like many others, will certainly take a keen interest in the pre match trash talking. Will no doubt be more entertaining than a few rounds of dancing
sets mcgregor up for life, if he wants to stop fighting, personally i think its a bit of a farce but if fans are prepared to spend there money on it then why not.
Details are still to be confirmed but the fight will be a pay-per-view event, organised by Showtime Sports.
The price has not been decided, though it is expected to be at or near the $99.95 charged for Mayweather's 2015 fight with Manny Pacquiao that drew a record 4.4 million pay-per-view buys.
anyone paying that should also go and shut themself in a dark dark room.
McGregor - "The movement, the power, the ferociousness, he hasn’t seen it before."
Ah I see, so Manny, Oscar, Canelo and Ricky (to name but a few) were really only fairground fighters?
McGregor is a clown (and so is Mayweather) so it's a circus act rather than a sporting event. I would love to see Mayweather knocked out but of course it isn't going to happen.
Do I view the 'fight' with contempt? Yes. Will I pay to watch it? Yes!!

Seriously? $100? I'm ideologically opposed to illegal streams but now I'm conflicted. I almost want to watch a dodgy version of this pantomime on principle
Mayweather destroys him in the ring, McGregor in the octagon. Don't get all the excitement over a farcical exercise that does nothing more than line their respective pockets.
I'd be more inclined to pay the PPV figure if they competed on neutral ground, ten pin bowling for example.

I'm away on a stag weekend in Amsterdam that weekend, and I'm wishing we'd plumped for Dublin.

Surely that is buying money
Rightly so as well. They should be ashamed of themselves.

for £17.95, why wouldn't people choose streams of the illegal variety.
