Dave Hannigan: What kind of characters get Conor McGregor to endorse a product?
Clean up in aisle eight. Picking up groceries at Stop and Shop supermarket last week, I happened upon a new display advertising an obscure energy drink called Bucked Up. The cardboard stand was emblazoned with shots of a bare-chested Conor McGregor , some of them backdropped by the Irish Tricolour. With a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) belt slung over his shoulder and a can of this elixir in hand, he is described in the branding as MMA champion, the copywriters having somehow forgotten to include the 'ex' prefix in that sentence. Or to mention that he owns a piece of BKFC but has never fought in it. Yet. Bucked Up are one of the main sponsors of the BKFC awfulness and, in case there were any doubts McGregor endorses the product wholeheartedly, his autograph was plastered all over. Like it will be on the many presidential decrees he intends to sign upon reaching Áras an Uachtaráin and swiftly rewriting Bunreacht na hÉireann. The Notorious Buck flavoured cans come in the green and orange livery of the true commercial patriot, with an image of him poised for combat and a promise to deliver 'superior focus' and 'mind-body connection'. No, seriously. READ MORE Amid all the ludicrous claims, no mention that last November the Irishman was found liable in a civil claim for raping Nikita Hand by a jury of his peers at the High Court in Dublin. Perhaps the folks at Bucked Up hadn't heard about the judgment or read the extremely disturbing medical evidence presented when they dreamt up this marketing campaign. Maybe their headquarters in Utah has poor wifi so nobody there knows a woman in Miami filed a similar sexual assault charge stemming from an incident at an NBA game in 2023. Or about the slew of other unseemly incidents where he has ended up, ahem, helping police or gendarmes with their inquiries. Conor McGregor speaking at the White House on St Patrick's Day this year. Photograph: Jim Lo Scalzo/EPA/Bloomberg via Getty Images In arguably the most competitive, over-populated corner of the non-alcoholic drinks market, the geniuses at Bucked Up are convinced there are still gullible fools out there willing to purchase something because of McGregor's imprimatur. In 2025. Little wonder they have never cracked the top 15 in terms of nationwide sales. They have put their faith in a poltroon who punched a pensioner in a bar, encouraged his followers to 'evaporate' any Irish property being used to house immigrants and, most recently, was filmed throwing digs at a fella in an Ibiza nightclub. Near enough a decade since he last mattered as a serious athlete, after years of disturbing accusations across five countries, some ad guru believes that Beacon Hotel snarl, that sullied-forever name, can persuade teens to pay $2 for a can of this gut rot. Imagine there must actually have been a meeting where this strategy was conceived, proposed and approved by adults. How? Why? Who? Amazed at this tone-deaf crassness, I stalked the rest of the aisles to see what other athletes are being deployed to flog food and drink to American consumers. I found Coco Gauff , the number-two ranked tennis player in the world, on the front of a box of Wheaties cereal, the most historic and prestigious commercial placement in sport here. Fresh off her second Grand Slam victory at the French Open, where she handled a temper tantrum by her defeated opponent with uncommon grace, the 21-year-old seems like a decent pitch person, even allowing for her early exit from Wimbledon this week. Coco Gauff's early elimination from Wimbledon came as a big surprise this week. Photograph:A former teen prodigy who has spoken eloquently about her mental health struggles, she carries herself in victory and defeat with class and dignity. In honour of a grandmother who was the first African-American student to break the colour barrier at her Florida high school in 1961, Gauff uses her own celebrity to help causes fighting social and racial inequity. Also, small detail. She has never been found liable for sexual assault in a civil trial or been interviewed in global cop shops following lurid incidents involving members of the opposite sex. The same can be said for Arnold Palmer. Nearly a decade since his death, he remains big and beloved enough in these parts to stare down from shelves as the face of Arizona iced tea. Every bottle of the half-tea, half-lemonade flavour comes adorned with shots of him in his pomp, back when his charismatic play earned him the nickname 'The King' and made modern golf into a television staple. More than half a century after his last major victory, the way Palmer's fame has endured is a testament to his character. Then again, he was never found liable for sexual assault against a woman by a jury of his peers. That might have something to do with his popularity too. Aaron Judge in action for the New York Yankees. Photograph:Elsewhere in the supermarket, I came upon special edition bottles of Prime (another putrid energy concoction) with Aaron Judge and his number 99 on every tin. Much classier than the contents, the collectible containers are pinstriped blue like the New York Yankees jersey he has worn with distinction this past nine years. At 6ft 7in, tipping the scales at 127kg, the squeaky clean 33-year-old home-run machine might just be the purest hitter of his generation. A devout Methodist and most definitely not the sort to stumble conveniently upon some bowdlerised version of 'break glass in case of legal emergency' Christianity on his way to court, he remains much sought-after for commercial endorsements. Just like McGregor used to be. You know. Before he became so bucked up.

Inside Bryson DeChambeau's US Open preparation with ‘fun side quests' on helicopter and racing Indy500 cars
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRYSON DECHAMBEAU has prepared for his US Open defence by hitting balls on the White House lawn, racing around in an Indy 500 car, and taking a helicopter ride to collect salt! He even took his golf clubs to the famous Indianapolis 500 racetrack - and smashed a ball a staggering 738 yards down the back stretch. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Bryson DeChambeau has given fans a glimpse into his life away from the course Credit: 6 He took a ride in a helicopter Credit: 6 He also fired a can out of a 'Bucked Up' launcher Credit: 6 He is preparing for the US Open Credit: But DeChambeau is so confident his unusual build-up will pay off at Oakmont this week, that he is already targeting a historic 'threepeat' at Shinneock next year. Only seven golfers have ever won back-to-back US Opens, and the only man to win three in a row was Willie Anderson - 120 years ago. But after taking advantage of Rory McIlroy's putting heebie jeebies to claim the title at Pinehurst last year, DeChambeau, who also won at Winged Foot in 2020, believes his big-hitting game is perfectly suited for the US Open challenge. He said: 'I'm always chasing history. Everybody is. We're all trying to accomplish feats that are unique or haven't been done in a long time. 'So going back-to-back would be great. But three in a row would be an even better accomplishment. So that thought is in the back of my head.' DeChambeau looked a vision of confidence and contentment as he treated the two million subscribers to his YouTube channel to a glimpse of his mind-boggling off-course escapades. He took advantage of the fact that the last week's LIV Virginia tournament was in Virginia - not far from the White House - to put in a call to President Trump, a close pal and regular playing partner. They played 18 holes at Trump's course in Virginia, before playing a converted par three on the White House's south lawn. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS That came hot on the heels of DeChambeau's Indy 500 visit, where he was driven around by Andretti Global star Kyle Kirkwood at speeds of over 180 mph, before unleashing a few monster drives down the tarmac. And the helicopter trip to the famous Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, where he also played 18 holes with a new sponsor, was another of the activities he describes as 'fun side quests'. Bryson DeChambeau appears to punch himself in the face repeatedly live on Sky Sports in bizarre PGA Championship moment 6 He took the pictures in front of a Tesla Cybertruck Credit: 6 He took a break from the helicopter in a scenic setting Credit: He also shared the banter he enjoyed with President Trump, who commented: "We play golf a lot together. It's not a very pleasant experience for me because I always consider myself a reasonably long hitter. 'My wife says, 'Are you as long as Bryson?' I say, 'Yeah, sorta, pretty close'. It's not close." But DeChambeau, 31, insists he has not been neglecting his golf regime. He also squeezed in a practice round at Oakmont last week, a course where a much punier version of the game's Incredible Bulk claimed a top twenty finish the last time it hosted the US Open, in 2016. DeChambeau described Oakmont as ' the toughest golf course in the world', but said he is ready for the challenge. He explained: 'How am I preparing for it? Just like I would any other tournament. 'Just like I did last year with Pinehurst: focusing on executing the right shots, hitting the fairways, and not three-putting. That's going to be a big deal. 'And keeping it out of the rough, which is five inches deep in places. Not much more than that. I try to keep it simple.' DeChambeau has proved he has the game to contend regularly in the Majors, especially the ones played in America. A missed cut at Royal Troon last year was the only time he failed to finish in the top six in the last half a dozen Majors, posting two runner-up finishes as well as his Pinehurst triumph. It is the sort of consistency LIV rival Brooks Koepka was producing when he became the most recent golfer to successfully defend the US Open title, in 2018. Koepka's response if his old sparring partner matches his achievement would probably not be printable!
