McGregor vs. Malignaggi After Mayweather?
Already people are talking about McGregor facing Paulie, regardless of the result against Mayweather. There’s no doubt this fight would sell big after all the drama that’s come out of their sparring session.
During yesterday’s media show between Mayweather and McGregor, Paulie showed up again. This time he came face-to-face with McGregor while cameras caught the tense moment:
“Bring your balls Saturday pussy! Remember what I said at the gym. We got f*cking security acting like I’m a fan or something. He said I talked out of my contract. All that came out after those pictures.”
“I was trying to get (his manager’s attention), he was trying to talk about that I talked out of my contract. It started out with that picture with him holding his hands behind his back. How you gonna have an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) and then post all those pictures.”

“You stand up and you take your punishment. You may not land that big shot, but you take that punishment. He has no balls. He’s going to fold again on Saturday. Here’s what you have to keep in mind, they got all these different cameras, I’m asking (the UFC) don’t change the angles. Just one camera angle, release the whole 12 rounds.”
“When you start seeing camera angle switches you’ll know you are being messed with. He has no balls, he knows what I’m talking about. We had a proper conversation, we talked during sparring. He forgets his balls for these big fights.”
“These guys started it with these pictures they posted first. The media comes rushing to me, what can I do? Nobody talked about the sparring before they released the pictures on social media. I wanna make sure he doesn’t forget his balls, leave them in Ireland this week.”
