Two companies have recently severed ties with a well-known mixed martial arts fighter, Conor McGregor, following a civil court ruling in Ireland that ordered him to pay nearly 250,000 Euros ($257,000) to a woman who accused him of rape. The decision was made by a civil court jury in Ireland last week.
Proximo Spirits, the owner of the popular Irish whiskey brand Proper No. 12, announced that they will no longer be using McGregor's name or image in the marketing of their product. This decision was confirmed in a statement to the Irish Independent newspaper.
