Conor McGregor makes €940,000 charitable donation while in New York

Conor McGregor and his whiskey company made a hefty €940,000 charitable donation while in New York during the week.

The MMA star has been busy in recent weeks as he continues to film his upcoming movie Road House as well as being a coach in The Ultimate Fighter.

McGregor has seen his net worth skyrocket thanks to his whiskey business and has long said that a percentage of sales will go towards to first responders in New York.

True to his word, McGregor donated $1m to the foundation and it means that Proper Twelve have donated some €3.5m from whiskey sales.

Posting on social media, the foundation said: "Multi-Weight UFC Champion & Proper No. Twelve Founder Conor McGregor appeared on @foxnews Hannity with Foundation Chairman & CEO Frank Siller to announce a generous donation of $1 million.

"This donation marks $3.7 million donated by Proper No. Twelve to Tunnel to Towers. Thank you @ConorMcGregor @ProperWhiskey We could not be more grateful".
