CONOR MCGREGOR has come under fire for boasting about his “one-of-a-kind” Gucci fur coats on Instagram.
The Notorious took to social media over the past weekend to share images of a pair of white mink coats he spent $55,000 and $80,000 respectively on.
“Not only are these coats iconic from a fight game standpoint,” he wrote.
“They are now even more rare and iconic, as Gucci have since discontinued all animal skin clothing from their line.”
“All white, floor length, Gucci mink!” he continued
“And I have the only two in existence!”
“I knew upon purchase these coats would come back to me some how, and they did in PPV revenue, but the more I think of it, these babies are like art pieces now!
“I am going to leave them to my kids, kids.
“Who knows what they will be worth in many years to come? I estimate a hell of a lot!”
The self-proclaimed “Gucci mink pimp” has been slammed over the post, with Solidarity People Before Profit TD Ruth Coppinger branding it an “ostentatious display” of wealth and animal cruelty.
"Well I think in the week that we got a commitment from the Government to ban fur farming, it's particularly mind-boggling," she told Breaking News.
"Mink are wild animals. They are semi-aquatic. Now we see a fine example of how they're being made to suffer.
"McGregor is really out of step here. He's made yet another miscalculation of where public opinion lies."
The government recently approved plans to phase out fur farming in Ireland with Coppinger remarking that McGregor’s post could not be more poorly timed.
“If he was aware of it, he is going against public opinion on fur,” she told the Irish Times, lambasting the fighter further for spending “more money on two coats than most people earn in two years”.
The criticism appears to have fallen on deaf ears with McGregor though.
Two days later McGregor returned to Instagram with another post, posing alongside three luxury Rolls Royces while wearing one of the fur coats alongside the caption: “That time I rallied 3 rolls Royce’s into the loading bay of the Barclays centre, Brooklyn. Yeehaaaa”
