I embarrassed Conor McGregor in sparring before the Floyd Mayweather fight but the footage will NEVER be released
PAULIE MALIGNAGGI claimed he embarrassed Conor McGregor in sparring – which is why he believes the full footage will never be released.
The feud between the two began in the lead up to McGregor’s lucrative crossover boxing match with Floyd Mayweather in 2017.

Malignaggi capitalized on the Irishman’s chances which resulted in him being offered the chance to join the UFC superstar’s camp.
The former world boxing champion fought twice but after leaked images and footage came to light he stormed out of camp.
One clip showed Malignaggi being knocked down, which the American said was caused by a jab and not a punch.
It has kept the rivalry alive to this day without ever showing any sign of the full sparring sessions being revealed.
Malignaggi, 42, recounted betway: “I give credit to Conor because he also knows his fanbase has a very low IQ.”
“He knows he can play them if he wants – and he does. So I don’t think we’ll ever get real footage of the fight.”
“I actually know you’ll never get the real tapes because the real tapes embarrass Conor.
“So you’re probably going to continue to have that opinion about it.”

Malignaggi, who retired from boxing during the austerity struggles, later lost to McGregor’s ex-training partner Artem Lobov, 36, in a bare knuckle fight.
Meanwhile, McGregor, 34, was beaten in ten rounds by Mayweather, 46, in his debut as a professional boxer.
And after sharing the ring with him, Malignaggi knew in advance that the outcome was inevitable.
He said, “When I got out of this situation, I thought this has to be the biggest money heist in the history of money.”
“This guy is so awful and he’s going to fight Mayweather, probably the greatest boxer in the history of the sport.”
“Even though he’s retired, Mayweather will hit this guy with his eyes closed. And that’s basically how it went. He played with them.”
