Conor McGregor has donated $500k to a Louisana Youth charity following his recent dispute with Dustin Poirier.<\/p>\n

In the lead-up to McGregor and Poirier’s rematch at UFC 257, the Irishman said he would be donating $500k to Poirier’s charity. However, just recently, “The Diamond” revealed the Irishman never donated. After some back-and-forth, Poirier apologized for his public spat<\/a> with McGregor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very passionate about my charity as you all know. I jumped the gun and took my private matters between Conor and my foundation public,” Poirier wrote on Twitter<\/a>\u00a0about McGregor. “My mistake, we live, we learn. Spreading positivity and doing good is my goal. I feel like I have brought a negative energy and personal opinions into something I am working so hard on that gives people a reason to cheer and smile.<\/p>\n

“I will take this in stride and continue to fight the good fight! New Goal coming soon and it is a BIG one,” Poirier continued about McGregor not donating. “Thank you to all who is involved and all the supporters who believe in our vision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, according to TMZ Sports<\/a>, McGregor ended up donating, but not to Poirier’s charity. Rather, he donated the $500k to the Boys & Girls Club of Acadiana, which is located in Poirier’s hometown of Lafayette, Louisiana. Poirier’s The Good Fight Foundation has worked with this B&GC location in the past, according to the report.<\/p>\n

The foundation was also grateful for the donation as they say McGregor’s money will help fund the 2021 summer camp and other recreational activities throughout the area.<\/p>\n

“This investment is a gamechanger! Thank you, Conor, for helping to ensure that our kids have what they need to grow and thrive this summer,” they wrote about McGregor’s donation.<\/p>\n

It is good to see that McGregor ended up sticking up to his word and donated $500k to charity.<\/p>\n
