Aside from the short-lived Paulie Malignaggi experiment, the team surrounding Conor McGregor ahead of his Aug. 26 boxing match against Floyd Mayweather has largely stayed the same as it has for most of McGregor’s UFC fights. SBG coaches John Kavanagh and Owen Roddy have run point on the camp, while longtime McGregor teammates like Artem Lobov have remained a constant supporting presence as the Irishman prepares to face the 49-0 boxer.
The fact that McGregor did not bring an outside boxing mind into camp has drawn widespread derision from the boxing community, as have McGregor’s unorthodox training methods and techniques.
