    So he might have been able to have a couple decent seconds vs an out of shape, retired, jet-lagged Mallinaggi that the UFC cherrypicked pics of to make Mcgregor look better than he is. Big deal. He still has a 0% chance of doing anything on the 28th.

    If Paulie really did spank him, he would have been fired not quit of his own volition. And they would not have released any photos or even want to talk about it for fear of exposing this fraud of a fight. Asking for them to release the sparring footage for one lowly jackass is ridiculous when that footage is on the order of trade secrets. The only way this doesn't make sense outside of Paulie being a ***** is that the whole thing was staged.

    Does MgGregor have anyone teaching him the basics of boxing that the 'standup' defence of mma neglects? Those things a 10 year old boxer is first taught like, you know, tucking your chin down and keeping your hands up and positioned to defend? Or does he seriously believe only focusing on the strengths of his unconventional, flawed style is his best chance?

    Paulie likes to talk a lot of **** in general (although McGregor is much worse) but I'm with him on this one. All he said after starting sparring is that he didn't have incredible power. Big deal. McGregor is a ***** for those pictures, plain and simple.

    Agree with every word, I mean just purely as a boxing fan, there is absolutely no way I could support McGregor, it would be a PR disaster for boxing if Mayweather loses.

    And these WWE refugees who think McGregor might win, they are the worst, they've been giving Paulie tonnes of grief just because he dared to say McGregor has "above average punching power". What would they be like if he actually pulled off the miracle? But no, it can't happen.

    He said that and then showed up at their training camp with a broad smile on his narrow face to spar? :risas3:

    BTW
    If that's true he's lucky they didn't break one of his arms. Pauli ESCAPES McGregor camp is a more accurate title.:applaudit:

    Who knows, probably a publicity stunt. Void would never have taken the fight if he had not been guaranteed a win....................

    Casual fans will think that Paulie is an active good boxer and will probably be brainwashed further. So I think it adds sales.

    Even though this is a joke fight, the sad thing is they have still hooked me in.

    95% of boxing fans will watch this, either live or the day after, the other 5% are liars.

    probably to boost Mcgregor's confidence, if they put him in there with errol spence or a charlo he would get murdered and he would realize he has no chance but if he gets the better over feather fisted malignagi then he will feel he has a chance against floyd

    Not watching. Only following it because everybody and their mama can't stop talking about it.

    It's all manufactured, mcg probably gave paulie 20g to go along with. It's all about the hype.
