McGregor's Ex-BFF Claims He Was Cheated Out of Millions
3 Nov
Summary
- Artem Lobov alleges McGregor owes him and friends millions from deals.
- Lobov claims McGregor's alleged drug and alcohol abuse fuels mistreatment.
- A lawsuit settlement for millions suggests truth to Lobov's claims.
Artem Lobov, once a close confidant of Conor McGregor, has made serious allegations against the Irish sports star regarding unpaid deals and broken promises. Lobov claims that McGregor failed to pay him and other friends, including his coach and business associates, what was promised from various ventures.
Specifically, Lobov detailed issues with the Proper 12 whiskey brand, which he helped establish, and McGregor's fight earnings. He suggested that McGregor's alleged struggles with drug and alcohol abuse are the root cause of his mistreatment of friends, implying McGregor would not act this way when sober.
Lobov's claims culminated in a lawsuit over the whiskey deal, which was settled for several million dollars shortly before it was set to go to trial. This settlement, Lobov argues, lends credence to his assertions that McGregor did not uphold his financial commitments to his inner circle.
