I hope those around him are giving him the right advice and guidance.

Not our place to judge though is it? If he wants to, let him go for it, good luck to him.

You can blame McGregor if you want but this nonsense all started in the beginning of Rocky III for me when he fights Hulk Hogan.

That was when I knew boxing was dead.

I would have thought a professional sportsman, albeit a retired one, would have some respect for a mother sport.
