Boxing fans were mesmerized and scandalized by leaked footage of a sparring session between Conor McGregor and a previous opponent, Paul Malignaggi, in advance of his much-publicized fight with Floyd Mayweather.
If you’re really the type of person who wants to know why people were outraged by the leak, God bless you and you’ll find everything you need to know on Viral Thread.
But we have something else on our minds. To be blunt, what the hell is this strange jockstrappy, girdle-like contraption McGregor is wearing? What is its functionality? Where is it available?
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
It looks like it could be a jockstrap boldly worn over a pair of compression shorts, which might be the new way. Is it fashion? Why is the jockstrap attached to a holster?

Wow. It’s a groin protector, Queerty… pretty standard.

Guys wear these all the time when sparring

And this video was “leaked” and talk about in the press for almost a month.

Exactly… ppl were trying to geek up McGregor’s head for knocking out a professional boxer, leaving out the fact that he had been retired for quite a while, and was NOT Mayweather lmao!!

Seriously the next time there is a story about Conor McGregor on Queerty it better be because he has advocated a gay cause or because he has his d!ck in his hand otherwise who cares.
Donston
I mean, he did give basic support in comment about a year ago. But like most “gay friendly” celebs who aren’t looking for gays to spend money on them a singular basic comment to show his “friendliness” is all he’s given.
Armiya
Seriously, yet ANOTHER sad and pointless article by some dipshi* writer who has no idea about the sport of the guy in question, but feels this warrants a discussion. To think the people at Queerty call this news and the ones writing it consider themselves editors.
Pathetic.
Roan
Queerty, your cheese has slid off of your cracker.

What is sci fi-ish about that?

David Grant, are you THAT disconnected from reality? Or are you really that much of a queer? Ok, here goes. That “jockstrappy, girdle-like contraption McGregor is wearing” is something called a groin protector. The groin is what some people stupidly call “junk,” and the “girdle” thing is an item that male boxers wear during their practice sparring sessions. The “jockstrappy” thing is actually a jockstrap with something called a cup. The “cup”, in this case, is not something out of which you drink your Earl Gray tea; it’s an object made of (usually) a strong plastic substance, or a metallic alloy that protects what are known in biology as testicles. Not everyone who wears these items is either a heterosexual man trying to impress other individuals with vaginas or a lesbitarian. Many of them are men who are afflicted with homosexualisis or (in my case) bisexualisis.

” are you really that much of a queer?”
How much queer is acceptable to you, Mr. bisexualisis?
