MR2 there with another couple of posts for the Things that make you go what the f**k thread.

That won't change my view on it, it's a minority sport like the stuff McGregor competes in.

Boxing even in male boxers support isn't even in the top ten watched sports
Evidence for that statement?

"Minority sport" doesn't make sense.
Boxing is Ireland's most successful sport on the world stage. So that argument doesn't stand up.
Her achievements are better than everyone else's. It's not even a debate in my opinion.

Tbh when any Irish person is competing on that world stage I would turn any soccer match over to watch them. Most gaa matches though would be conflicted for an Antrim one.

On the athletics Sarah Healy a big name to watch out for in future years.

Irish bowling ?

She's not Ireland's greatest sportsperson. I'd say less than 1% of the Irish population has seen Taylor fight. I wonder how many of these people who seem to think she's Ireland's greatest sport person have ever been to a female boxing match.

I'd rather watch cricket than Taylor fight. No interest whatsoever in women's boxing. If that's sexist, then so be it.

You might as well say McGregor is Ireland's greatest sportsperson. Someone who participates in a sport resembling two thugs fighting in a car park. It's an abomination.

Cricket. Haha. Probably the worst and most boring sport in the world.
I'll give that poster and his opinion a by ball in this then.

You said you have no interest in her or her sport. So you're automatically biased against her achievements. So you won't be taken seriously in this debate if you can't put your bias to one side.

Cricket has 2.5 billion people watching it, Asia UK and Australia being the main support base. Women's boxing has 20 thousand participants, of that number most are classes boxing classes that would be done in a gym

So by that logic because the Indians are decent at cricket and that country has over a billion people means automatically all those people in India watch cricket and automatically means therefore an Irish cricket ( ;D ) player ranks higher than Katie Taylor in Ireland's greatest sportspeople.  ;D
Beyond moronic.

Katie Taylor fought a policewoman a few months ago.

Women's boxing not long going. What's the rolling eyes for... You asked and I answered :D

Big Geldof party tonight. He galvanised people to do big things.  I never really got him. Is he a bit marmite?
