Conor McGregor Pays Back £60 Debt 15 Years Later

From Plumber to MMA Icon

Before Conor McGregor rose to fame as the highest-paid MMA fighter, he was an apprentice plumber in Ireland. He trained at Crumlin Boxing under Olympian Phil Sutcliffe and Patrick "Bra" Brady.

The Long-Awaited Gesture

Bra lent McGregor €70 (£60) for tools when he was 16, with the promise of repayment. Despite McGregor's success, the debt went unpaid for 15 years.

A Generous Return

After becoming a UFC icon and boxing against Floyd Mayweather, McGregor returned to Crumlin to renovate the gym, raise funds, and pay back the long-overdue debt.

Setback and Delay

Despite his generosity, McGregor's return to the octagon against Michael Chandler has been postponed due to a toe injury.
