Paulie Malignaggi calls for ‘money’ fight against McGregor: ‘I would beat him to a pulp’

It’s been almost two years since Pauli Malignaggi’s controversial sparring session with Conor McGregor, but the former boxing world champion just won’t let it go.

Malignaggi feels he was shafted by McGregor and his team after video footage was released of what appeared to show ‘The Notorious’ dropping Malignaggi after landing a three-punch combination.

Since that sparring session back in 2017, Malignaggi has been calling for a grudge match against McGregor, and the 38-year-old feels now would be the perfect time for both men to settle their business inside the boxing ring.

Speaking to Off The Ball in a recent interview, Malignaggi said the potential matchup is the biggest ‘money’ fight available for McGregor right now.
