Conor McGregor Donates $500,000 to Boys & Girls Club in Louisiana

Conor McGregor has made a sizable donation to a Louisiana-based organization, but it isn’t Dustin Poirier’s charity.

The former UFC two-division champion recently donated $500,000 to the Boys & Girls Club of Acadiana in Lafayette, La. TMZ Sports first reported McGregor’s donation.

“Boys & Girls Clubs of Acadiana received an unexpected call last week and are humbled to share that Conor McGregor is donating $500,000 to impact youth in South Louisiana by supporting our upcoming 2021 Summer Camp and ongoing health and recreation activities in our 6 Club sites,” read a statement on the organization’s Facebook page. “This investment is a gamechanger! Thank you, Conor, for helping to ensure that our kids have what they need to grow and thrive this summer!”

McGregor and Poirier recently had a Twitter dispute regarding the Irish star’s failure to follow through on a promised $500,000 donation to Poirier’s Good Fight Foundation. Poirier later apologized for publicly shaming McGregor and promised to focus on “spreading positivity” for his charity going forward.

The Good Fight Foundation has worked with the Boys & Girls Club of Acadiana in the past, providing tutoring and transportation for its six locations following a fight kit auction from UFC 257.

Poirier and McGregor are scheduled to meet in a trilogy bout at UFC 264 on July 10 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
