Conor McGregor has been enjoying his billionaire life outside the MMA octagon for some time now. Apart from recovering from his injury and training, McGregor is always invited to the top combat sports events. While he likes to get drunk on his own, he doesn’t mind sharing it with others, such as Anthony Joshua.
Last year, Conor McGregor was present at Anthony Joshua vs. Robert Helenius boxing match in the O2 arena. After AJ knocked his opponent out cold, he was joined by McGregor, who shoved his Irish stout down the boxer’s throat. However, this time, McGregor finally cleared the air and revealed that AJ originally asked him to give him the drink.
1 year ago today, Forged Irish Stout busy year! Also for the record I didn’t make Joshua do anything…He exited the ring post his amazing victory and came straight to me and said “where is my Forged!” I gave him mine. It was the first time that had happened at a fight

After that, McGregor went on to talk about how good his stout is and how fighters will definitely enjoy drinking it. He also took the opportunity to give a shoutout to Matchroom Boxing for their collaboration with Forged Irish Stout. Since the launch of his stout, McGregor has been meticulously promoting it and has got several business deals.
Recently, fans saw Conor McGregor chugging his stout in the middle of the BKFC ring, which he partly owns. Everywhere McGregor goes he makes sure to promote his product, it shows how great of a businessman he is. However, the Joshua incident caught many fight fans off guard.

McGregor is undoubtedly one of the biggest names across the combat sports community. His unhinged personal and carefree attitude has made him a favorite of millions of fans. Despite his inactivity, the ‘Notorious’ remains one of the biggest draws. He can still sell out a huge pay-per-view card wherever he wants. Very few fighters have been able to achieve what McGregor has done financially in his career.
