Artem Lobov is suing close friend and training partner Conor McGregor regarding a dispute over the sale of McGregor’s Proper No. 12 Whiskey, according to the Irish Independent.
McGregor, along with partners Audie Attar and Ken Austin, sold their majority share of the whiskey brand for $600 milion in 2021. Lobov is suing for five percent of the revenue from the sale, as he claims he was key in helping develop the brand. Lobov claims McGregor offered him $1 million, but he turned it down.
Lobov’s attorney, Dermot McNamara, released a statement on the matter.
