"Probably for the best,” "Weak gym" - Fans divided over Conor McGregor mural being covered up in Irish gym after recent legal troubles

A Conor McGregor mural was recently painted over at Scully Fitness, a gym based in Corrandulla, County Galway, Ireland. The covering up of the mural, which was originally shared on Instagram, has drawn the attention of fans on X, sparking a mixed reaction from the Irishman's fanbase.

Scully Fitness made the decision to disassociate itself with McGregor following the verdict on his civil court case, wherein the Irish High Court found him liable for assaulting Nikita Hand. The incident took place back in 2018, following the Irishman's loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Conor McGregor's court case has led to Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey severing ties with him

Back in 2021, Conor McGregor and his business partners sold their majority stake in Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey. However, the brand continued to maintain business ties with McGregor, using his likeness and working with him on advertisements. Now, that has changed.

In the wake of McGregor being found liable for assault, Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey announced that it would no longer use McGregor's likeness on its products, as major retailers were reported by The Irish Times to have pulled the whiskey brand from its shelves due to its ties to McGregor.
