Multi-millionaire fighter Conor McGregor fined €400 by judge for speeding on N7


UFC fighter Conor McGregor has been fined €400 at Blanchardstown District Court after pleading guilty to a speeding offence.

McGregor was clocked driving at 158km/hr on the 100kmn/hr N7 Naas Road at Rathcoole, Co Dublin, on March 31.
McGregor took the stand after swearing the oath, when asked by the judge what speed he was travelling, he said "I can’t remember, to be honest".
The judge asked him did you not hear the garda, and he replied "What I did hear was that I had tried my best to pay it, I don’t know, it didn’t pay".
The judge said that is not it, and when she asked him what happened, he said "I don’t know".
His solicitor intervened to say Mcgregor was pleading guilty, RTE.ie reports.
The judge asked McGregor how much he earned?
She said it may seem a stupid question but please do not tell me you made €110 million in a day.
McGregor laughed and there was laughter in the court when he replied €140m.
The judge convicted him and fined him €400 with two months to pay.
There was laughter in the court when she said that he could pay by installments.
The judge also said that in spite of your good fortune, I would ask you to take cognisance of others on the road and slow down.
McGregor apologised, and said he wanted to show his respect by showing up in court.
