Retailers remove McGregor alcohol products from stores

A number of major retailers have confirmed they are no longer selling alcohol products affiliated with Conor McGregor in their stores.

The move follows the conclusion of a civil trial, in which a woman won her claim against the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter, when a jury found he had sexually assaulted her.

McGregor, from Dublin, has been ordered to pay out over £200,000 in damages. In a social media post in the days after the case concluded, McGregor said he had instructed his legal team to appeal the decision.

In the wake of the outcome of the civil trial, several retailers have said they will no longer sell alcohol products associated with the MMA fighter in their stores.

Musgrave confirmed to NR that both alcohol lines – Proper No. Twelve Whiskey and Forged Irish Stout – are no longer available to purchase in their stores across the island of Ireland.

Their store network includes SuperValu, Centra, Mace and Daybreak.

Tesco also confirmed in a statement to NR that they are “removing Proper No. 12 Whiskey from sale in Tesco stores and online”.

It is understood a number of other retail outlets are to stop stocking products linked to McGregor in their stores.
