Floyd Mayweather Jr. and ‘friend’ Paulie Malignaggi hint at spying on ‘sucker’ Conor McGregor

[La Paix]

On Saturday, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. will box Conor McGregor in a fight appropriately named The Money Fight. And on the eve of the biggest fight of the year, Mayweather is throwing some last-minute fuel on the fire.

At his final pre-fight workout, Mayweather was visited by Paulie Malignaggi, the former world champion boxer and one of the commentators covering the event. Despite being on the broadcast team for the event however, Malignaggi seems to have no concern whatsoever about retaining a semblance of objectivity and is currently embroiled in a very public feud with McGregor stemming from a dispute when Malignaggi was working as a sparring partner for the UFC lightweight champion.

Yesterday, Malignaggi and Mayweather were filmed by FightHype, calling McGregor a “sucker” and hinting that Malignaggi’s work with McGregor was all an elaborate ruse between the two of them to spy on the Irish superstar’s camp.

“My friend, it’s my friend, Paulie,” said Mayweather. “My friend Paulie has always been my friend. You know what, I even told my friend - my friend called me and said, ‘Floyd, do you want me to go to camp?’ I said, ‘Abso-f**king-lutely’.

“Suckers,” intoned Malignaggi. “Suckers.”

Paulie Malignaggi was not a spy. Floyd Mayweather saw an opportunity to son the shit out of him for some last minute hype before the fight

Do you think Conors camp didn't consider that? Mali has his nose in the ass crack of showtime of course they considered it. Anyway he wasn't spying on shit the fool thought he was coming in to give some handy hints and tips, then he got battered and start crying and hasn't stopped since.

Yep. And Paulie seems like a guy that would sell his soul for attention.

Paulie keeps asking for the the unedited footage to be released, why hasn't that happened yet?

This is the face of a mastermind spy? C'mon son!

I'm not Italian, but I was listening to Jude on Shade45 last night who said something along the lines of "a black guy and an Irish guy are fighting, and somehow an Italian guy is taking the biggest L". Rough.

Andrew McGahon Irish mma journalist said on the Mac Life that it would be released after the fight and by his tone he sounded like he'd seen it, I'll bet you a tenner now its released within 2 weeks.
Don't forget Paulie thinks he had exactly the same gear on for both sessions, when he had a blue rashy in one and skin in the other the dude clearly got badly rocked and is scrambling for whatever he can.

Interesting. I never even heard of Paulie until this whole thing started so I have no idea what he's about. It does seem wired that the full footage hasn't been released yet though, don't see why they'd hold it up if it was such a dominant performance.

Same as man the only boxers I know are from highlights. All I knew about Malignaggi was his name sounded familiar. Sure they're hardly going to release a full match in the run up trade secrets and all that.

Agreed. Pauli has handled this terribly, but my guess is that much of that match look liked Conor/Diaz when conor was fatigued and just eating small punches over and over.

Conor does a pretty good job of rallying some last-minute energy. So I can easily see that happening for a good edit that doesn't get close to representing the sparring.

That's interesting to say the least

First and foremost, they don't want any tape released of his style of boxing. Secondly, nothing they said about conor handing paulie his ass, bell to bell, for 12 full rounds, is accurate. They released 20 seconds of total footage, picking out conor's highlights. If there were more highlights, they would have made it a 23 second clip.

How so? These guys get punched in the head for a living. Forgetting colour or shorts or whatever doesn't tell me much. If there's some more to the story then I don't know it.

Ye I heard him on one of his many rants talking about how he had the exact same gear on in both spars and because of that they would be able to edit together 12 rounds of him loosing. Then they release the second sparring footage and there he is in a rashy. So something is amiss for sure.
