Last Friday, a civil jury at the High Court found McGregor, 36, liable for assaulting Nikita Hand at a Dublin hotel in December 2018A leading politician has urged the public to “boycott” Conor McGregor’s boozer The Black Forge Inn as Dublin Airport and pub giant Wetherspoons joined a growing list of retailers yesterday who are no longer selling his products.
Ruth Coppinger, a General Election candidate for People Before Profit, said the backlash for the shamed MMA fighter had been “significant” since a civil jury found last week he had assaulted Nikita Hand. Since the verdict, top retailers in both Ireland and the UK announced they would sever ties with McGregor and pull his drinks from their shelves. These include Tesco, Supervalu, O’Briens, Carry Out off licences and Circle K. In addition, McGregor’s former whiskey brand Proper No. 12 confirmed earlier this week it will no longer carry his name.
