Since retiring from MMA fighting in March after a controversial year Conor McGregor has mostly been receiving good press. 

The Crumlin-born fighter was lauded for doing his part to tackle the homeless crisis in May when he announced that he was building eight houses in Dublin for families forced to reside in hotels. 

Conor shared the news via Instagram and the post has since been liked 1.5m times which is what makes his latest social media offering so hard to swallow. 

The fighter posted a picture of himself wrapped in a fur mink coat and bragged about how much cash he dropped on it.

The Original Gucci mink! I bought this coat for 55 thousand U.S Dollars at the Gucci boutique store on 5th Avenue in New York. The same location I then bought the second one, with the dragon emblazoned on the back. Costing 80k. Both these coats are hand made 1 of 1’s! None others produced. Not only are these coats iconic from a fight game standpoint - One being apart of the UFC’s first legal event in the state of New York, and the night the Champ Champ was born, and the other being apart of the highest grossing event, and biggest crossover fight in combat sports history, McGregor/Mayweather, they are now even more rare and iconic, as Gucci have since discontinued all animal skin clothing from their line. These coats are 1 of 1 and the last of their kind. All white, floor length, Gucci mink! And I have the only two in existence! The plain one has a large tiger embroidered into the seem of the coat, which I paired with a pair of wide-end Gucci pants, while the other has the unescapable dragon, emblazoned across the back, reaching around to the front, and through the entire belly of the coat! Which I paired with my very own @augustmcgregor pants! I currently have both minks in a large freezer to maintain them. I was advised this by Donatella Versace at the British Fashion awards. I’m not sure what will become of them, but I know one things for sure. These babies are iconic! One of a kind, and never to be made again! Wow! I knew upon purchase these coats would come back to me some how, and they did in PPV revenue, but the more I think of it, these babies are like art pieces now! I am going to leave them to my kids, kids. Who knows what they will be worth in many years to come? I estimate a hell of a lot! When you’re good you’re good, and when you’re great, you’re Gucci! Yours sincerely, The Gucci mink pimp, The Champ Champ, The Notorious Conor McGregor Sr.

'I bought this coast for 55 thousand U.S. Dollars at the Gucci Boutique store on 5th  Avenue in New York. The same location I bought the second one, with the dragon emblazoned on the back. Costing 80K. Both these coast are hand made 1 of 1's,' he bragged. 

He then went on to talk about how the coats had 'been become iconic from a fight game stand point, he wore one during his Mayweather fight but also because 'they are the last of their kind.' 

Gucci has discontinued to its use of animal skin from its collection which according to McGregor means the coats are 'like art pieces now!' and he intends to leave to his kids.

Back on the site today, it has been a while. This is my first property development. We have 8 homes here closing in on finish. 3 bedroom houses, designated for families that currently reside in hotels around the capital, without a home to call their own. But not for long. Through the storm comes the sun! Walking around this land and these homes today, meeting all the neighbors, knowing that soon there will be families living here, creating their own memories, and building back their lives, gives me great pride! Ireland forever! Ireland first! Ireland always!

He even signed off the post the 'Gucci Mink Pimp.' His thoughtless comments about the extravagant coats fly in the face of his recent good works and will no doubt anger animal anger rights activists. 

'Should have left the fur on the animal Conor! plenty of money to buy a good faux fur' one fan responded.

'Wearing dead animals is not something to be proud [it] is disgraceful,' wrote another. Another person hit out at his lavish spending writing: 'Literally just read through this entire thing, thinking it was going to lead up to you donating them to a noble cause but no,' said another person. 

'Donate it to charity and stop bragging about it,' demanded another. 

Catch yourself on Conor!
