Conor McGregor offers €50,000 cash reward in deleted Instagram post after Dublin pub petrol bomb attack

Conor McGregor offered his social media followers a €50,000 cash reward if they can help identify the person behind a petrol bomb attack on his Dublin pub earlier this year before deleting the Instagram post.

The MMA star took to social media to offer the cash reward while sharing a video of the alleged attacker before quickly deleting the post.

McGregor's pub The Black Forge Inn was attacked back in January but the UFC star was not on the premises at the time.

No damage was caused and the pub and restaurant continued to stay open for business.

Two men were allegedly seen on a scooter heading towards the pub before the incident took place with police appealing for witnesses and video footage.

A spokesperson for The Black Forge Inn told the Irish Mirror in a statement: "After hours last night it appears that criminals made an unprovoked effort to inflict damage to the Black Forge Inn.

"There was no damage done to any patrons, employees or the Forge and Mr. McGregor was not on the premises at the time of the incident. The gardai have opened an investigation into the event. We are open and busy as always."

McGregor said on social media earlier today: “Hey guys. I have a 50k reward cash in all 100 crisp untouched notes. Not a wrinkle on them.

“The no wrinkle green backs. I call them yum-yums. For whoever tells us who this little deli-chicken head is.

“The walk, run, and scrawny build all very distinctive. Nothing will be said, but done. Reach out to who can reach me. Look forward to doing business."

McGregor opened his popular pub back in 2021 after purchasing the premises for a reported €2m and giving the pub a further €1m facelift.
