    GL: The last time we spoke, you weren't really sure if you had the desire to continue boxing. Obviously you've found the desire to continue, yes?

    Paulie Malignaggi: Yes. I don't really have the desire, as far as love of the game, it's more about the paycheck I can make. I can't make it doing anything else, the amount of money. Obviously, anybody can go to work and make money, but the paycheck I make boxing, I'm not going to make anywhere else. It really came down to a financial decision, and I had to think deep and soul search. From a financial standpoint, the country in is a recession, people everywhere are losing their jobs, and on unemployment. I'm not going to join that party, I can make money boxing. It was really more of a financial decision, than a decision based on desire.

    Paulie also says he would welcome a fight with Zab, and that it wasn't the real him against Hatton(that seems to be everyone's excuse nowadays). I hope that fight happens. I think Zab would kick the **** out of Paulie.

    Can't say that I blame him but with that attitude and the fact that he can't crack an egg without shattering his hands he is going to be out of work as a boxer soon enough.

    Interesting, I hadn't heard anything on the guy since Hatton. He sounds real sour about it.

    he can probably get another paper title but as far as getting to 'elite' level he can forget about it

    At least he came out and said he doesn't have love for the game no more,that pretty much won't help him.
