McGregor Settles High Court Case over Whiskey Brand
The dispute centered on Lobov’s claim to 5% of Proper No Twelve sale proceeds, while McGregor denied any such agreement.
- On Wednesday, mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor and former sparring partner Artem Lobov settled a High Court dispute in Dublin regarding the Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand.
- Lobov initiated legal action in 2022, claiming McGregor violated a 2017 oral agreement granting him a 5 per cent share of the brand's proceeds from the $600m sale to Proximo Spirits.
- McGregor denied the existence of an agreement, though he admitted offering Lobov $1 million for work done to develop the brand, which Lobov claimed he helped create before being 'muscled out.'
- Lobov expressed he was 'happy with the resolution' after the settlement, while McGregor stated he was satisfied to focus on his training for 'this summer's fight.'
- Judge John Jordan complimented the parties for reaching an agreement, noting the dispute was 'ultimately a matter of negotiation' rather than consuming court time.
