Conor McGregor could reportedly lose a lucrative sponsorship deal following an incident involving a mascot last month.
The Notorious punched Burnie, the mascot of Miami Heat basketball team, during a stunt at an NBA match, with the man in the mascot suit requiring hospital treatment afterwards. A woman also accused McGregor of sexual assault at the game in Florida, claims that the UFC star strongly denied.
A lawyer for McGregor said the claims were "no more than a shakedown". Reports in America claim that McGregor's Tidl Sports spray logo was to become the “official pain relief partner” of the Miami Heat team and players would wear a Tidl Sports patch on their jerseys as part of the deal.
