The celebrity athlete, Conor McGregor, might be currently in a state of shock regarding the latest development involving him. The former UFC champion was at the pinnacle of the sport in 2017 when he faced Floyd Mayweather in a boxing ring. Soon afterward the ‘money fight’, the Irishman, started his new venture- Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey. In a turn of events, the same venture has become a bone of contention for the ‘notorious’ fighter.

Significantly, the Dublin-born sold the majority stake of the brand for $600 million last year. And a year later, McGregor’s long-term training partner, Artem Lobov, has filed a suit to seek a stake in the million dollars worth deal.

How did the fans react to Lobov suing Conor McGregor?

The fans found it hard to wrap their head around the sudden development.
