McGregor to Poirier: 'You Inbred Hillbilly!", Threatens to Pull Out of Trilogy, Latest Odds
Early Conor McGregor (-110) vs. Dustin Poirier (-110) betting action is good money so far, mostly on Poirer.
Our friends at BetOnline report 57% of the bettors and 81% of the cash is on Poirier.
"Glad to see there is some controversy between the two this time around and not the lovefest we witnessed last time," commented Dave Mason of BetOnline.
That controversy involves McGregor exploding over Poirier's allegation that his team has failed to donate to Poirier’s “The Good Fight Foundation" as promised.
McGregor tweeted in response:
“You’re ripped you inbred hillbilly.” wrote McGregor. “Why do you wink with your ears? You fucking brain dead hillbilly. 500k with no plan in place. Ye hang tight. Fool. You must be new to money. The fight is off btw. I’m going to fight someone else on the 10th. Good luck on your old contract kid.”
McGregor's threat to pull out of his trilogy fight with Poirier, slated for UFC 264 on July 10, is not being taken seriously by oddsmakers.
McGregor did walk back his initial tweet and threat of pulling out.
“My team does their due diligence to make sure every donation meets the mark,” wrote McGregor, responding to a Poirier tweet from yesterday. “My generosity is known. You will pay with your brain for this attempt at smearing my name. Shooting ass shelling ass bitch. Little bitch kicks from a shell. Good luck when you’re caught. You’re fucked.”
In January Poirier won by TKO against McGregor, the Irishman's first loss of his career.
