Conor McGregor has been accused of failing to follow through on a charity donation commitment.
The Dubliner had promised to donate $500,000 to Dustin Poirier's Good Fight Foundation before their fight in January.
"The respect is there!"
"You're going to help a lot of people!"

Poirier said his organisation had huge plans for what was "a tremendous amount" of money
At UFC 257, Poirier would emerge victorious from the fight, knocking McGregor out in round 2.
It's been almost three months since the fight took place and Poirier says McGregor's team has not replied to any of his foundations follow up calls about the donation.
A donation, not a debt. We’ve been awaiting the plans for the money that never came. I do with all my donations. Know where it’s going dot for dot. Otherwise it goes walking. As is the case with a lot of these foundations, sadly. You took the McG over the belt shows I was right.

Conor McGregor says he is waiting to see how the money would be spent by the nonprofit - which helps people in need in Louisiana.
