Conor McGregor lost his first professional boxing match against Floyd Mayweather, due to a technical knock out in the tenth round.
The UFC star took the loss on the chin, despite claiming that the referee stopped the match too early.
Shortly after his defeat, Conor showed up to the press conference in good spirits, and brought a bottle of whiskey along with him – teasing that he’s set to release his own brand.
“I’ll put my whiskey down, Notorious Irish Man, coming soon,” he said as he stood up to the podium.

Despite the loss, it’s reported that Conor will pocket over €100 million from the fight.
At the press conference, Floyd insisted that the referee “saved” Conor because he was thinking about his future – citing that he was still young and had plenty of fights ahead of him.
