I stayed on the stage after. People were coming up and I did autographs and a load of selfies and pictures. I must have been there an hour. Then I went upstairs to this little private room that they had for me. And there was about 400 people queuing all along the stairs. So I took some selfies, rang someone’s uncle in Canada who is a big fan, all that, but there was no way in hell I could have gone through everyone after a four-day run like that. I’d still have been there! So I had to go. “Then when I left I was getting messages all night. About disabled kids that were crying all the way home in their parents’ car. And I was like, ‘This is fuckin’ ridiculous! How was this billed as a meet-and- greet when it was supposed to be a Q&A?’ So I felt like I let these people down when I done as much as I could. It really upset me last night. I felt I was let down by the people who set up the event. It was just a messed up situation. So I reached out to the people that I could reach out to and I had some people come down here [to the SBG gym] today. But at times I feel like I’m a piece of meat.McGregor also described begin approached for pictures in restaurants and admitted the stresses of his newfound fame are difficult to deal with ahead of a big fight. "It’s all messing with my head a bit. That’s why I feel I just need to drift away for awhile. I need to say no sometimes. But then you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. I’m in a weird place in my head now."
