Paulie Malignaggi: Conor McGregor knows it would be ‘game over’ if he fought me

Paulie Malignaggi is at it again.

This is the second time the former boxing world champion has called out Conor McGregor since signing with Bare Knuckle FC last month, and this time, he’s going after the whisky.

Malignaggi, who has had a grudge to settle with McGregor ever since ‘The Notorious’ released footage of their much talked about sparring session in the lead-up to the Floyd Mayweather bout, said he would beat the Irishman so bad that people would eventually stop drinking his Proper No. 12 Irish whisky.
