    McGregor camp is so petty. Why are they releasing these photos? If they think this will add sales they are sorely mistaken. This could be an attack on Paulie for the stuff he said before about beating Conor with one arm

    Leaking selective photos is a total ***** move by McGregor. Paulie was willing to spar and share his boxing knowledge with McGregor and he's been respectful of their sparring and training sessions, and kept to the boxing code of keeping what goes on in the gym in the gym. I don't watch ufc and knew nothing about the guy before the Floyd stuff started, but McGregor with this has shown he's a classless loser, I hate him and I want him to see Floyd but a beatdown on him. Of course he tried to do the same thing and edit the sparring footage with van Heerden too.

    Whatever amount of success McGregor had sparring a faded, feather-duster puncher Malignaggi is beside the point.

    Take these pictures as a snapshot. The one with Paulie on the canvas and Conor just towering over him is hilarious. We obviously don't have context since we don't have video of the whole session. Do you think we'll ever hear the 100% truth as to what actually happened in that moment where Paulie went down? Was it a push, slip, knockdown, does anybody really know what happened there?

    And what about the other snapshots, particularly of the one with Paulie hunched up on the ropes about to apparently take a jab to the face from Conor? Look at Paulie's face, was he going to block that punch, or did he get rocked from that jab on the ropes?

    OK we can't believe a thing we read about this fight, but can we believe a thing that we see about this fight? Can we believe those photos of the McGregor Paulie sparring? Consider that Paulie is a 147-lber and a small 147-lb at that. McGregor is a naturally bigger guy and fighting at 154. Conor has a 3 inch reach advantage. It sounds like Paulie went 12 rounds with Conor earlier this week and he went a number of rounds in July. (was the first sparring session 12 as well?)

    Having Joe Cortez referee the sparring is hilarious and hearing his comments only further the speculation as to what happened. For the sparring session to be so secretive as to what happened then to only have still photos released is going to fuel interest in the fight and also make it appear like McGregor did well vs Paulie. I am personally trying to visualize in my mind what occurred in the sparing session and if anyone knows any details of what happened like when Paulie fell down. Do you think it was videotaped and do you think the footage will ever be released?

    You don't a problem with joining a camp, then talking **** like you can beat the fighter you signed on to help train with one arm tied? That's what I call mental.

    Then again what shadow is alluding to above is a very real possibility as well.

    The poll question is slanted and meaningless. 'Judging by the photo' sure it looks like McGregor roughed up Malignaggi. But that was a split-second amongst probably 20+ rounds of sparring, selectively chosen to make him look good, and it was released against the consent of Malignaggi and fairness. Like the van Heerden sparring session, till the full sparring session that Malignaggi says was recorded is released I'm going to accept Paulie's side of the story.

    Oh he said it was all recorded? Should we expect it not to get released until after Aug 26th? Do you think what happens in the fight could determine if this sparring footage ever gets released?

    Paulie said "The video exists UNEDITED of rounds 1 through 12 Tuesday night, let the fans see."

    I don't think there's any point releasing the full footage after the fight. McGregor should release it now, for full disclosure. Just releasing a photo makes it look like a cover-up to prove himself, and suggests that he could well have been spanked by Paulie through the rest of their rounds of sparring.

    Team McGregor is trying to pull the same stunt they pulled with Chris Van Heerden.....But Paulie probably isn't doing as good as he's thinking he's doing against Conor, always looking all beat up and **** lol
