Conor McGregor catches more attention from just his tweets than most other fighters can do with full-fledged interviews and promotions. The Irishman’s Twitter account is a mix of three things – unpredictability, controversy, and entertainment! And he ensures that all his fans are frequently reminded of this fact.
This time, McGregor’s spree of tweets was targeted at the boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao was involved in a court case with McGregor’s management company, Paradigm Sports. Allegedly, Pacquiao was accused of a breach of contract by the sports management company. With the recent verdict coming against Pacquiao, McGregor aimed some verbal bullets at ‘Pacman’.

Since McGregor has a strong connection with Paradigm Sports, it would have been simply foolish of anyone to not have expected the Irishman to speak about this matter. Recently, the former UFC champ took to Twitter to reveal the money ‘Pacman’ is bound to his sports management firm.

“Manny owes 8 (million dollars) all in. 5.1 (million dollars) he owes and then 2.9 ((million dollars) in legal fees. Legal fees are heavy but that’s what we do. Heavy weight operations.”
The former UFC double champ did not end his tweet here. He also talked about how much money his former friend Artem Lobov owes him. Artem Lobov and Conor McGregor were involved in a lawsuit after Lobov filed a defamation case against the Irish-born MMA star. However, it was McGregor who won the case, and according to him, Lobov is supposed to give him the legal fees. In the tweet, McGregor threatened Lobov that he would seize his home if he was unable to pay the amount.

“Rartem you already owe me two rounds of court fees, awarded by the judge. There will be a judgment put on your home as this progresses because I know you won’t have my legal fees. I will have no choice but to take your home. You are a mad thing lol. Silly c*nt.” However, McGregor deleted this tweet shortly after posting it.
