Conor McGregor reveals plan to become luxury car salesman in Ireland but gets hammered by working-class fans who point out few locals can afford crazy prices
UFC superstar Conor McGregor has taken his love of luxury cars up a gear by starting a business flogging them in Ireland – but fans are fuming.
The Dublin MMA hero has joined forced with prestigious car company H.R Owen to import luxury motors – like Bugattis, Bentleys, and Lamborghinis – to his homeland.
Conor McGregor has always posed with big-money motors since he took the UFC by storm
Sadly the lads back in Ireland have pointed out that there is not much call for £1million cars in Emerald Isle and have put the boot in on the fighter.
On his Facebook profile, McGregor wrote: “This Lamborghini Huracan Avio is the only one of it’s kind in Ireland!
“I am now officially teaming up with HR Owen to change that!
The Irish MMA sensation does appear to have lost touch with the common man with his new venture
“We are in the process of building a network here where we will bring multiple high end luxury motor vehicles on to Irish shores for sale and supply!
“Our roads will look very different in years to come and it starts NOW!
“Check them out and stay tuned!
“We are only just warming up with this beast! Something BIG is coming!”

Sadly most of his fellow countrymen were not as convinced, with few jobs in Ireland providing Ferrari wages.
Mairtin MacIomhair replied: “How about teaming up with Nissan to distribute micras about, or Volkswagen and a few polos because sadly that's about all any man can afford in this country.”

And Matthew Forster said: “Seriously can someone advise him correctly.

“Too many kicks to the head. Here's a great idea lets endear myself to the general public by going into business with unicorn out of reach sports cars.”
And Martin Jopp had the final blow, writing: “Not really seeing how bringing luxury cars to Ireland will change the fact nobody can afford them.
“You do understand the concept of supply and demand surely? Sounds to me like you're getting fleeced by bad advisors.”
