Alright, let's cut to the chase. 'McGregor Forever'? More like 'McGregor's PR Stunt'. This docu-series should've given us the down and dirty on Conor McGregor's life after Mayweather, but instead, it's just one long ad for how Conor is a 'good loser.' Spoiler alert: he's lost four out of his last five fights. And his win was against a old Cowboy dude who never should be in a cage anymore.
The show keeps hammering the same point: Conor is a tough-as-nails fighter who takes losses on the chin. They talk it up like he's still the champ, just having a bit of a bad run. But the series totally glosses over his controversial antics outside the ring, and doesn't even touch on the nitty-gritty about his training, strategies, or what the future looks like for him, but only that he is just rich...
'McGregor Forever' feels like it was made to distract us from the fact that McGregor's glory days might be behind him. They've packaged it up real nice, with flashy editing and production, but there's no substance. It's all the same stuff we've already seen in press conferences and old interviews. When it gets really hard in the dressing room after his loses, than there is no camera or a scene to soon. Because mister Showman chooses when the camera is on to promote.
So all in all, 'McGregor Forever' doesn't give us the real lowdown on McGregor. It's just a shiny, feel-good cover-up that leaves anyone wanting a deeper dive into McGregor's world high and dry. They missed a chance to really show us the man behind the legend, and that's a knockout blow.
