Conor McGregor Exposes $2.5B Worth Rival With Serious Allegations in Explosive Forged Irish Stout Promotion

Conor McGregor should be focusing on Michael Chandler for their June 29 bout, but it seems an unlikely foe also has his attention. The multi-millionaire and former simultaneous two-division UFC champion is having a tiff with Arthur Guinness, the founder of Guinness beer! In a recent move, ‘The Notorious’ decided to rip into the Guinness founder on social media, in what could be the beginning of a turf war. But Guinness has been dead since 1803, so what is McGregor on about?

McGregor is perhaps one of the few stars known both inside and outside UFC. Not only is he a former double-division champion in the UFC and Cage Warriors, but also a business mogul outside of the Octagon. ‘The Notorious’ is a Hollywood actor who established the Proper 12 Irish Whiskey brand, the Black Forge Inn pub, and the Forged Irish Stout brand! Much like his opponents in UFC, he has business rivals as well who have been subjected to his attacks in the signature ‘Mystic Mac’ style, and Guinness is in his crosshairs now!

Conor McGregor infiltrates online community and attacks Guinness

Guinness is one of the oldest and most popular stouts and it has found a foe with Conor McGregor. He was brave enough to go into the enemy territory and slammed the company by joining a Guinness community group on Facebook. He accused the company of being “spies” and “rats” and wrote things like, “I just dropped in the storehouse for a quick shi*e I hope they don’t mind hahaha greedy robbing bast**ds!”

‘The Notorious’ also ruffled some history and said, “Don’t forget, Arthur Guinness was a spy for a foreign government hell-bent on preventing the freedom of the nation of Ireland to act as a sovereign country.”

McGregor is already a millionaire from finding success with the Proper 12 whiskey sales and now he aspires to do the same with his beer business as well. However, nothing comes easy and McGregor is ready to fight all obstacles. It seems like he already has bad blood with Guinness and wants their business in a hostile takeover.

It is an interesting choice that the fighter is making by going against Guinness since this is the consensus national drink of Ireland. Everybody is aware of this brand, which has a value of $2.59 billion as of 2024. However, McGregor is taking the hard way of getting famous in this business.

On top of that, the fighter is not only trying to be number one in the liquor business in his home country but he was also set to start his world tour press conference for UFC 303 in Ireland. Unfortunately, it seems like the latter has been postponed, but why?

Conor McGregor’s grand plans postponed

The much-awaited UFC 303 press conference was supposed to happen on 3rd June but it unfortunately has been delayed as per the latest announcement. The update from UFC said that it had been postponed until further notice and also an apologized to all the fans who were planning to attend the free event.

The free tickets to the event were already sold out and reports stated that the seating capacity of 8000 was already filled. Some fans were even left dejected because they did not get tickets, which made McGregor’s coach John Kavanaugh ask Dana White to open the rest of the arena for the fans. However, this recent announcement comes as a huge shock, and speculations were flying in no time about the latest development.

In the meantime, McGregor and Michael Chandler are training for their fight and McGregor was also seen partying in The Black Forge Inn with his fiancée recently. So far, there has not been any latest information about why the press conference was postponed. On top of that, McGregor has taken up a rivalry with Guinness, which has a brand value of $2.59 billion. Let’s see what else Conor McGregor has planned for 2024!
