Artem Lobov is suing Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n

Lobov and McGregor were main training partners and close friends<\/a> for years, and recently, Lobov came out and said he was the reason why Proper No. 12 was created<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe selling point of my book will be the Proper 12 whiskey story. A few people know, but this was actually my idea. I was the person who came up with the idea to do a whiskey for Conor,\u201d Lobov said to TalkSport.<\/a><\/p>\n

Artem Lobov then claims he knew Conor McGregor could make it massive but he is the one that did all the groundwork. He was the one who also made the deal happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went on and met all different whiskey distilleries, I called some and met some in person. I did my research and put a beautiful deal together. Once the deal was ready, I went to Conor and I said, \u2018Conor, I have the deal ready for you. This is going to be a billion-dollar deal, no messing here.\u2019 I\u2019m not sure if he took me seriously or not at the time with the billion dollars. Conor offered me $1M but I turned it down, I didn\u2019t accept it. You know, throughout my career whenever I have helped Conor with camps, he offered to pay me for them camps, but I never accepted money from him.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGregor’s team refutes Lobov’s claim<\/h3>\n

Now, on Wednesday, it was reported by The Irish Independent<\/a> that Lobov is suing McGregor for millions alleging that he was pivotal in developing McGregor\u2019s Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey. McGregor had sold a majority stake of the company for $600 million. However, Lobov claims he has an agreement that entitles him to five percent of the money McGregor made from the sale.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy client is a retired professional fighter with a master\u2019s degree from DCU in Finance and Capital Markets,\u201d Lobov\u2019s attorney, Dermot McNamara said. \u201cWe have issued High Court proceedings on his behalf to enforce an agreement with Mr McGregor regarding the Proper No. 12 whiskey brand. My client was the initial creator and co-founder of the concept to launch an Irish whiskey brand associated with Mr. McGregor. As these matters are now before the court, we will not be making any further comment.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGregor’s representatives then responded to Lobov’s claims and refuted them.<\/p>\n

\u201cProper No. 12 Irish Whiskey was created, developed, branded, and tirelessly promoted by Conor McGregor,\u201d Karen J Kessler said.<\/p>\n

As of right now, it’s uncertain what the next steps are in this case but Lobov plans to take McGregor to court over this.<\/p>\n
