No official confirmation, but I've heard much buzz in the past weeks that would make me surprised if Sac wasn't granted an MLS team in Dec

Conor McGregor’s Notorious Irish Whiskey is the latest in a long list of celebrity tipples

Millions of people around the globe tuned in to watch Floyd Mayweather stop Conor McGregor in the 10th round of their record-breaking mega fight.

Despite suffering defeat, McGregor has pocketed a minimum purse of $30m.

That figure will be bumped up greatly by PPV cuts and sponsorship deals.

For 30 minutes work, the UFC champion didn’t do half bad.

However, unwilling to waste an opportunity to boost his bank balance, McGregor used his post-fight press conference to show off his new own brand alcohol, Notorious Irish Whiskey.

Swapping shots to the face for shots from a glass, it’s easy to see why McGregor is keen to try his hand in the alcohol industry.

George Clooney’s Casamigos Tequila recently sold for approximately $1bn, while rappers such as DJ Khaled and P Diddy earn huge sums by endorsing drinks brands such as Ciroc and Belaire.

Star owned drinks that came before Notorious Irish Whiskey

Notorious Irish Whiskey is nothing out of the ordinary.

Actors and actresses, sports stars, musicians and reality stars are all in the industry. Just about anybody with a famous name has already jumped on this celebrity craze.

Danny DeVito released a Limoncello and UB40 released an actual Red Red Wine. Cee Lo Green champions Ty Ku Sake and Fergie owns a part of Voli Vodka.

In fact, it seems that just about anybody with a little bit of star power now owns their own brand of alcohol. These are just a few of the best.

Haig Club Scotch – David Beckham

Since hanging up his boots, David Beckham has set about using his status as one of English football’s most well-known names to diversify his revenue streams.

To create the high-class Scotch, Beckham teamed up with Pop Idol creator Simon Fuller to launch Haig Club with drinks manufacturer Diageo.

Bottled in a distinctive blue square, which looks more like yet another David Beckham aftershave, the single grain Scotch retails at £45 a pop.
