"Irish" Andy Lee. Dude won the WBO middle weight title tonight on HBO. Great fight great victory interview in the ring. Says he wants to defend the title in Ireland next fight. I'm Just wondering how it will compare with Connor and Dana having the country on lock. 
Didn't you hear?
When Conor McGregor fights in the US, all of Ireland shuts down.
The main reason for this though is that it is around 4 in the morning there and people are already asleep.
Hocky Balboa - Didn't you hear?Holy fucking shit.... My months on end of VU on you didn't go to waste, you hit 10k VU ... Now the gold name!!!! KIRK !!!

"There's only one Conor Mcgregor"
The only fight I've seen of Andy Lee was the JCC fight. Has he improved a lot sense?
Let's me Tink about it while you keep rubbing your shillelagh and whatchin the Gaelic of the gayest football BeGosh and Begorrah Laddy!!
There are no Fish in Ireland Saint Patrick banned them all like a UFC sponsor..thingy
McGregor should play lee in a badminton match in an irish football stadium . Sellout
The Acorn - "There's only one Conor Mcgregor"I think his last 2 fights he is losing and hurt then BAM hurts them with a big shot before finishing the fight. Exciting matches.

The answer will be neither when the UFC announces the signing of Brian O'Driscoll to face CM Punk
What really gets me is the talk of Croke Park or the Aviva when it comes to McGregor. There's not a hope in hell they would fill either of those for MMA. 
I'm a big Andy Lee fan, but McGregor blow him out of the water as a draw at this point.
I'm from the North but I've never heard of Andy Lee
ZombiedKoreanTurnipHead - What really gets me is the talk of Croke Park or the Aviva when it comes to McGregor. There's not a hope in hell they would fill either of those for MMA.They would 100% fill aviva, maybe not Croker
Thread is surprising. I thought that country loved boxing.

Can you imagine if they could though, it'd be fucking epic.
dana got a potato up his sphincter
An Expensive Hat - Not very well known comedians can come close to filling up stadiums. I think you guys are overstating the importance of filling up a stadium; it'll make the entities involved a lot of money and the promoter will try to make a huge deal out of it to capitalize on it for brand recognition purposes, but it's not like filling a stadium means you made it as a sport and we're gonna get boxing money in MMA or something like that.
You're forgetting that Ireland got fucked hard by the GFC/Austerity/government scumbags so most people don't exactly have a shit tonne of disposable income any more. So to fill an 82000 seat stadium like Croker would be an impressive feat.
PeterIrl -You'd have to assume tickets wouldn't be that expensive for a venue like that though. Even at the last event in the O2 I heard the tickets were reasonably priced.An Expensive Hat - Not very well known comedians can come close to filling up stadiums.

If it's for a title shot and they promote it right, I think they could sell Croker out pretty quick.
