Due to his shenanigans on and off the octagon, Conor McGregor achieved global fandom and became a superstar in mixed martial arts. Besides being a Hall of Famer in MMA, McGregor is also a famed businessman. He owns one of the most prestigious spirits companies in the world. Earlier, he revealed a rather interesting reason why he does not promote Whiskey brands on the internet.
Conor McGregor: The Entrepreneur
Conor McGregor took over the UFC and won titles in two different divisions in the promotion. The Mac wants to ace every realm of his life, not just martial arts. In an interview given to the famous Media house Entrepreneur, McGregor revealed why he did not want to endorse Whiskey brands on the Internet. McGregor said,
Something about simply endorsing an Irish whiskey didn’t feel right to me — I wanted to create my own.
The former champion clarified that he wanted to build his whiskey brand and be a part of something bigger. The Irishman wanted to explore his entrepreneurial self and start a liquor company. It was reported that Conor sold his stake in the liquor company Proper 12 and became the highest-paid athlete in the world—many thought after amassing a massive net worth of a few hundred million dollars.
McGregor is injured and will take on Michael Chandler on his return to the Octagon. The fight between the duo is one of the most sought-after fights in the octagon, and it will be intriguing to witness Conor McGregor’s return against the former Bellator champion. The Irishman is known for his precision, and Chandler is a powerful fighter. One thing’s for sure is that the fight might not go the distance in the cage, and there will be a winner by knockout.
