Conor McGregor Threatens DAZN Over Interviews

Conor McGregor has issued a fierce ultimatum to DAZN, the streaming partner for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), after the network failed to interview winning fighters during a recent event in Florida. McGregor, who is part-owner of BKFC, expressed his frustration on X, demanding airtime for the victorious fighters, stating, 'DAZN I DONT GIVE A ****, IF YOU DONT GET OUR WINNERS ON THE MIC WE ARE DONE!' Despite his anger, experts suggest that McGregor may lack the authority to terminate the partnership, as BKFC is owned by David Feldman. The incident highlights McGregor's belief in the importance of post-fight interviews for fighters to build their brands, a strategy he himself has successfully employed. Meanwhile, BKFC is poised for growth, with plans for a $25 million tournament and upcoming major announcements. McGregor's outburst raises concerns about the potential impact on the promotion's relationship with DAZN, a crucial partner for expanding BKFC's global reach.
