McGregor, Lobov Settle High Court Dispute Over Proper No. Twelve

The confidential deal ends a 2022 lawsuit over an alleged 5% promise tied to the whiskey brand’s 2021 sale.

Overview

  • The former teammates, who settled in Dublin’s High Court on Wednesday, halted a scheduled eight-day trial as the judge accepted their agreement.
  • Lobov said McGregor promised him 5% in a 2017 gym handshake witnessed by three people.
  • McGregor denied any deal and previously acknowledged offering Lobov $1 million for his work, which Lobov refused.
  • Proper No. Twelve was sold to Proximo Spirits in 2021 for about $600 million, and reports say McGregor earned more than $100 million.
  • In a statement read by his lawyer, McGregor thanked Lobov and said he can focus on training for a planned summer fight, while Lobov said he was happy with the outcome.
