Boxing Champ Ebanie Bridges Claims Conor McGregor is Using Her for Clout, But She's Loving It

Friendship and Rewards

Ebanie Bridges, the IBF bantamweight world champion, has revealed that Conor McGregor is using her for "clout," but she doesn't mind at all. McGregor is sponsoring Bridges through his Forged Irish Stout brand, and the two have formed a friendship while reaping the benefits of their partnership.

Not Just a One-Sided Deal

Speaking to Best Gambling Sites, Bridges stated that McGregor sponsors her to promote his brand, which is a common practice among sponsors. She proudly wore his brand during the AJ fight, knowing that it would generate attention and get people talking about McGregor's stout. However, she clarified that it's not just a one-sided arrangement, as both of them help each other out and are assets to each other's brands. Bridges also mentioned that McGregor's team reached out to her, so she wasn't the one chasing the sponsorship.

Boosting Popularity and Bank Account

Bridges, known for her racy weigh-in outfits, is already a hit online and on her OnlyFans account. Joining forces with McGregor has further elevated her popularity and increased her income. Being associated with one of the biggest names in sports has led to more exposure, fans, subscriptions on OnlyFans, and followers on Instagram, ultimately resulting in more money. However, she admits that the increased attention also brings more hate.

"Battle of the Boobs"

Bridges's next fight is against Avril Mathie, and she has cleverly dubbed it the "battle of the boobs" to promote the bout. By choosing an attention-grabbing name, Bridges aims to attract more viewers and generate interest in the sport. She believes that this approach challenges stereotypes in boxing by showing that female boxers can be feminine and embrace their modeling careers alongside their athletic pursuits. According to Bridges, it's about empowering young girls and demonstrating that they can pursue any path they desire.
