McGregor Tried On Shakhtar Shirt, Club Boasted About It. The Day Before, Conor Beat an Old Man
SMM and marketing at Ukraine's champions are still not ideal.
Shakhtar's Instagram has posted a story featuring former UFC champion Conor McGregor – the 31-year-old Irishman is wearing the Miners' orange kit with the caption “Forward, Shakhtar!”
All would be well, except that the day before, the notorious trash-talker once again landed in an unpleasant story, and the timing of the partnership (albeit unofficial – through the friendly PariMatch) did not work out well for Shakhtar.
Last week, a video from April of this year that surfaced online sparked lively discussion in the media, showing Conor striking a man who is far from young from behind in a bar.
McGregor's aggression was triggered by the visitor's refusal to try Conor's “Proper Twelve” whiskey, which he offered to everyone in “The Marvel Arch” pub in Dublin.
McGregor remains one of the world's most popular fighters despite announcing the end of his professional career in March. He fought his last bout in the Octagon in October of last year, losing to Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Earlier, Shakhtar had to apologize for an inappropriate joke under a post by Dynamo forward Gerson Rodrigues.
