Floyd Mayweather Plants Spy in Conor McGregor’s Camp…But It’s Not Paulie

Floyd Mayweather reveals exactly what his spies are telling him about Conor McGregor…

Now just over two weeks away, the much-hyped boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor hogs the limelight. Aiming for the casual market mainly, MayMac is a money grab but doesn’t try to hide that fact.

Aside from the shallow talk of cash, there’s been a lot of mind games being played. Infamous for their pre-fight trash talk and antics, McGregor and Mayweather represent different styles mental warfare.

While McGregor prefers to outright trash talk and belittle his opponents, Mayweather takes a far more cerebral approach.

Mayweather’s Latest Claims

Having been favored in the early betting odds, the lines have started to draw in on Mayweather. Although McGregor is far from favorite, the Irishman is much less of an underdog than expected.

Mayweather’s latest statement might change those odds slightly. As per Jon Fuentes of LowKick, ‘Money’ has been spying on ‘The Notorious,’ but not with Paulie Malignaggi.

“Um, it’s like doing your homework. It’s not really watching fight tapes, it’s knowing the person you’re facing, that’s across the ring from you,” Mayweather said. “You wanna know what that person likes to eat, what that person is doing when they’re not in training camp.

Floyd Mayweather-Sneaky…

“Even like right know, I know how much Conor McGregor is down to – his weight. He’s down I think he was a little bit heavy so he’s at 160 now. So he’s down. I know what’s going on. I don’t have to worry about speaking to Paulie (Malignaggi).

“Paulie is – one thing about Paulie, I commend Paulie for going to camp and trying to help Conor, of course, trying to help him step his game up to the next level. That’s what it’s about. Giving him that extra boost. And I’m glad that Paulie went to camp to help McGregor.”

Mayweather also believes Conor McGregor’s style will cause him to gas out early…

“A fighter is a fighter, it doesn’t matter. With McGregor he looks to come out – he’s gonna come out and he’s gonna keep switching, he’s gonna keep switching – I already know what he’s gonna do, I already said before I already know what you’re gonna do. You’re gonna come out, come out southpaw, then switch the other way, keep switching, but when you keep switching all you doing is burning energy. So let me give him some knowledge so that he can see. As you keep switching, keep switching you’re burning too much energy.”

The circus continues on the road to August 26, spies and all.
