Moreover, McGregor’s solicitor claims Lobov said, “Let me start by saying that I swear on my child’s life I will NOT take a cent out of the whiskey deal!!! That is something I enjoyed doing and the thought of knowing that I helped you with something keeps me warm on the coldest of nights

Moreover, when Lobov was offered $1 million as compensation he refused to say that it is not remotely close to the 5pc agreement.

Journalist Shane Phelan said, “The claims emerged in filings for a Commercial Court hearing today. Conor McGregor successfully opposed the entry of Artem Lobov’s lawsuit against him into the fast-track court’s list. It will instead now proceed at a slower pace in another court.
