Alright, let me tell you what I ended up digging into today. Saw the names CJ Watson and Conor McGregor floating around together online, and I was like, hold on a minute. That didn’t seem right, you know? A basketball guy and the MMA dude? Seemed like a weird pairing.
So, I started poking around. Wasn’t immediately obvious what the connection was. Just saw mentions here and there, kind of vague. Took a bit of clicking through old news bits and forum posts, trying to piece it together. Felt like I was going down a rabbit hole for a while there, trying to untangle this thing.
Figuring Out the Link
What I gathered, after wading through a bunch of stuff, is that it’s not really about Watson and McGregor being buddies or rivals or anything direct like that. Nah, the whole thing actually revolves around Floyd Mayweather. Yeah, the boxer.
Here’s the rundown as I understand it:
- There was some old drama involving Mayweather and his ex-girlfriend, Josie Harris.
- Apparently, CJ Watson’s name got mixed up in that situation. Something about texts or communication between Harris and Watson that supposedly really ticked Mayweather off way back when.
- Then, years later, when Mayweather and McGregor were building up their big fight, McGregor, being the trash-talker he is, apparently used Watson’s name to mess with Mayweather.
So, Watson himself wasn’t directly involved with McGregor. He was like, a piece of ammo McGregor found to throw at Mayweather. Pretty clever, in a nasty sort of way, I guess. Digging up old dirt to get under someone’s skin before a massive fight.
It’s crazy, isn’t it? The lengths these guys go to for psychological games. Found myself reading about this whole backstory, the Mayweather-Harris situation, the alleged incident… stuff I didn’t even know was connected. Shows how personal feuds get dragged into the public eye, especially when big money and egos are involved.
Honestly, just spending time trying to connect those dots – Watson, McGregor, Mayweather – was an experience. It wasn’t some project or anything, just curiosity pulling me along. But yeah, that’s the story I pieced together. Wild stuff happens in the world of sports entertainment, that’s for sure.
