Conor McGregor dragged back into court for new, $8 million lawsuit in Dublin
Conor McGregor lawsuit over Proper 12 is expected to land in Dublin’s High Court in January with former friend and ex-UFC fighter Artem Lobov suing for compensation.
Seems like Conor may have cut out ole pal Artev Lobov, he is suing for a piece of that Proper 12 Pie up to 8 Mill.
“I told him about the dominance of Irish whiskey and all of that,” Lobov previously told talkSPORT. “He said, ‘you go off and see what deal you can put together’ and I went on my way. Lucky for me, when I was studying in college, I used to work in the bar at the Radisson Hotel and I had a friend who worked in the bar with me. He put me in touch with a man called Niall of Classic Drinks, a top drink distribution company in Ireland. Niall was kind enough to meet me, at the Radisson actually, and he was very generous with his information.”
“Once I got that information, I went on and met all different whiskey distilleries,” Lobov continued. “I called some and met some in person. I did my research and put a beautiful deal together. Once the deal was ready, I went to Conor and I said, ‘Conor, I have the deal ready for you. This is going to be a billion-dollar deal, no messing here.’ I’m not sure if he took me seriously or not at the time with the billion dollars. I introduced Audie [Attar] and the rest of the Paradigm [Sports Management] team to my deal and all the people I was already working with and then we got going.”
McGregor sold Proper 12 back in 2021 and banked an estimated $600 million, with Lobov’s cut of the deal landing somewhere in the neighborhood of $0.00. Whether or not the 38 year-old “Hammer” is entitled to financial compensation remains to be seen.
