5 Ridiculous things Conor McGregor has done with his money

#3 Invested a fortune in a fur coat

Joe Frazier II?

In the wake of activist movements, fewer and fewer celebrities wear real fur (most of them settling for the faux); and then, there’s Conor McGregor who doesn’t seem to care. In a press conference leading to UFC 205, in which McGregor faced Eddie Alvarez, the notorious Irishman showed up in a pearly white Gucci mink coat.

His bold fashion statement seemed rather bizarre but who is McGregor to care? Boxing fans took a cue from this and associated it with a publicity stunt akin to Joe Frazier’s (who wore an identical outfit, leading up to his match against Muhammad Ali, in 1974). McGregor, with this stunt of his, did leave fans and media quizzing, with regards to the price he paid for this coat. Those with an eye for detail, especially the paparazzi who paid attention, were able to spot the price-tag still hanging to the coat!

Makes me wonder whether leaving the price-tag hanging was a deliberate move on Conor McGregor’s part?
