Conor McGregor’s treatment of former two-weight boxing champion Paul Malignaggi has drawn some serious criticism from the boxing community and it’s fans.<\/p>\n

The “Magic Man” was brought in to the McGregor camp in order to help Conor prepare for undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather who “Mystic Mac” will square off with on August 26 in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Shortly after engaging in two hard sparring sessions with McGregor, Paulie found out that a member of the Irish stars team had leaked photos from their match online.<\/p>\n

One photo in particular caused Malignaggi to get very upset<\/a>, as the image showed Paul laid out on the boxing ring canvas with “Mystic Mac” standing over top of him.<\/p>\n

With his trust in Conor seemingly broken, Malignaggi issued a statement <\/a>and announced his departure from the McGregor camp.<\/p>\n

Floyd Mayweather’s sparring partners were not impressed with the way Conor McGregor treated Paul Malignaggi.<\/p>\n

Maurice Lee and Daquan Mays (Mayweather’s sparring partners) both spoke with MMAFighting<\/a> about “Mystic Mac’s” poor treatment of the “Magic Man”.<\/p>\n

Maurice Lee:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt shows a lot,\u201d Lee told MMA Fighting. \u201cIt shows [McGregor is] more focused on the show than the actual skill. He should be focused on the boxing, not trying to post stuff like that this close to the fight. He should be more focused, I feel. Because Floyd is very focused.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Daquan Mays:<\/p>\n

\u201cFloyd is real respectful, man,\u201d Mays told MMA Fighting. \u201cTreats you good, pays good. End of the day, gives you good recognition. He\u2019s not the kind of guy that punches on you and tells everybody else to talk about you and brags about it. You don\u2019t win fights in the gym. You do \u2014 but fights aren\u2019t held in the gym. So there\u2019s no point to brag about what you did in the gym. \u2018I got a knockout in the gym, I got a stoppage in the gym.\u2019 That\u2019s gym work. It\u2019s not about what goes on in the camp, it\u2019s about what goes on when the lights shine on you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
