Conor McGregor has threatened to end a multi-million dollar deal between broadcaster DAZN and the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, which he part owns.

The Dubliner appeared to be angered that DAZN did not interview the winning fighters during a recent event in Florida.

Mike Richman, Christine Ferea and Bryan Duran all won their respective bouts at the sold-out Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, but received very little coverage afterwards.

Posting on X, McGregor wrote: "DAZN I DONT GIVE A ****, IF YOU DONT GET OUR WINNERS ON THE MIC WE ARE DONE!"

BKFC was established and is still owned by David Feldman, and if the promotion is under contract with DAZN, it's unlikely that a deal could be ended suddenly.

McGregor largely made his name with his post-fight interviews as well as his antics on the mic at UFC press conferences and understands how important such opportunities are for fighters.
