Some people will laugh at it as it's tesco, and not a decent whiskey store or off licence.
But no one else can offer the same distribution to the market he's going after.

Like I would have just thought this was a given and common sense but apparently not.

Don’t like whiskey myself but best of luck to him, tough market to crack I’d imagine

Wait, are you mocking the fact Tesco is the sole distributor of his whiskey?

I would have thought securing such a massive company could only be seen as a good thing?

What’s the deal with him having two belts set in front of him? He’s not a champion.

Conor fought champions for those two belts. Khabib was handed his due to circumstance.
Not to take away from him as a fighter, but he didn't beat the champion to get the belt. Not even a top ten guy.

I shop in river island and I can’t wait to toast some notorious whiskey on October 6th

Some folks need to relax and enjoy this **** . Cause we will never see the likes again when he is gone.

There have been some absolute creeps in Irish sport who have acted nice on camera and we worshipped them but off camera they were scum up to all sorts

At least Conor is not putting on a fake act trying to be someone else . He always said he didn’t want to be a role model and he has always done it his way . You have to respect that. He is he biggest sports star in the world and he done it all his way .

Last night was funny as **** and Khabib deserved it . He used to be respectful of Conor and Conor always showed him nothing but respect back . Then he started with the “chicken “ bull**** after the first Nate fight . Now Conor is coming back to shut his mouth and KO him in front of the world .

I can’t wait !

Why is it a bad thing that his whiskey is being sold exclusively by Tesco? Will it not sell as well for this reason?

Lad I know told me it was ****e stuff. Seems to be what everyone is saying.

Asked him has he tried it he said no.

Asked do you like Whisky? He says no.

He's 100% correct.

You do realise the whole reason they were having a press conference last night was to promote the fight?

And whether people liked his antics or not, whether his acting or not, it actually doesn't matter. Because here we are, all discussing him, Khabib and the fight.

Do you not think Khabib will maul him??

Not if Conner can keep it standing, connect with a single left hand and it's lights out for Khabibe.

And this has what to do with mma ????

Connor MacGregor is the biggest start in MMA. He has just brought out his own brand of Whiskey. If you had watched the presser last night you would know.

He'll go by Mayweather's cobbler, and get lifts put on his shoes.

Honestly I think that just shows how erratic he is,
No way was he acting that's just him, he loses the run of himself and the Dublin accent goes full swing , He used to control it and be smart and witty, He can't seem to keep his cool anymore, I think he really really doesn't like Khabib
Compare that interview to when he first hit the big time he was far more composed and smart back then , It was the "ACT " now he is just himself and rants , The real give away is that accent the fake one for American's to understand him drops and his normal Dublin accent comes out, he's just a crazy guy who is calmer than almost everyone when it comes to the fight,,

If you have a properly amazing product, the way he goes on about his (Bushmills) whiskey, you don't sell it in the exclusively in the local supermarket. Same reason Prada aren't in partnership with Penneys.

Good grief. It’s a brand new entrant to the market and he’s managed to secure one of the biggest distributors in the UK and Ireland. Yet you think this is a bad thing!?

I’d say there’s new distillers out there who would give their arm to get their product onto Tesco’s shelves.

He wished Dustin and Nate well and said both great fighters.

Even though he done exactly the same too both in the press conferences with them.

Showing he still has a humble side.

Anyone who takes him seriously or gets offended, try not take it too seriously.

This. The second Diaz fight was more or less the same, yet the moment it was over the two of them were shaking hands and he was calling Diaz a warrior. It'll be the exact same after this one even if McGregor wins.

No he didn't do that to Dustin and Nate, last night he went on like an absolute Cream Cracker. against the other two he remained calm and said he was going to do "this and That" to them, last night he just kept saying the smell of "Sh1te off ya". It was gutter level.

Lol at all the over reactions.

You're all watching love him or hate him

McGregor knows his product sales aren't going to be the lads that buy a bottle of whiskey and has a glass at the birth of a child, or a special wedding anniversary.

His product sales are going to come from the lads that buy suits in River Island, and go halves on a 1er bag of sniff. Tesco being one of the biggest retailers in the UK and Ireland is a solid partner, and having the logo on the canvas is a move noone else in the roster has been able to even contemplate.

The suit line, and McGregorFAST may have flopped, and I don't expect the whiskey to be a record breaker, or a taste sensation, but it'll sell enough to be a tidy sum, and it keeps his name out there.

This! I thought it was great in terms of MMA car crash TV but Conor has lost the head, he was clearly drunk last night. He did succeed in riling Khabib though, who completely lost his cool about half way through but McGregor was so manic he looked composed in comparison.

Sweet.Science

I just cant see this doing well in PPVs . Well compared to normal fighters but not over 2 million like people are projecting.

Cant see us getting the real numbers

Yeah sure why wouldn't he be hammered 2 weeks before a fight he's been breaking his arse for? Makes sense.

His frail ego couldn't handle his opponent having a real one so maybe he thought 2 fake ones would look better?

To be fair he's not the first who's had a belt taking without actually losing it to still call himself champion, Look at Fury doing the same at the minute,
