Paulie Malignaggi was originally supposed to be an ally of\u00a0Conor McGregor<\/a>. The retired boxer was brought into the Irish mixed martial artist\u2019s camp to help him prepare for his August 2017 boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the pair’s relationship quickly curdled when McGregor and co. began bragging about an alleged knockdown he scored on Malignaggi in a sparring session. Feeling as though he had been misrepresented, Malignaggi packed his backs, and left McGregor’s camp.<\/p>\n

Since then, the pair have engaged in multiple social media skirmishes, and even a few face-to-face encounters. Paulie Malignaggi claims that this is because, in actuality, he whooped McGregor so seriously in the gym that he damaged the Irishman’s pride. He thinks McGregor is haunted by him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis pride is hurt,\u201d Malignaggi said on\u00a0SiriusXM Boxing<\/a>\u00a0this week, discussing a recent Tweet in which McGregor reminisced about the infamous knockdown (transcript via MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cHe still thinks about the beating he caught, every day, in the gym last year. He had four seconds of highlights and it\u2019s burning him inside that he only has four or five seconds of highlights in 36 minutes. He thinks about me every single day. His personality, his behavior pattern is very consistent with this. A year later he is still Tweeting about me. A few months after we sparred he put his only highlights on the documentary of his that came out as well. He\u2019s really, all by himself, coming up with these ideas to think about Paulie Malignaggi.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel bad. I hurt his pride, I hurt him as a man,” he continued. “Sure, he gets his feelings up and his hopes up when all his pussy fans get his back on social media and believe his four seconds of highlights, that gets his hopes up. He needs a pick-me-up so he\u2019ll post a Tweet every once in a while about me just to give himself a little pick-me-up just so his fans can tell him, \u2018Yeah, Conor! You\u2019re the man!\u2019 But when he lays his head on the bed deep at night, he knows he\u2019s one of combat sports\u2019 biggest pussies and that\u2019s the problem. He knows who he is inside.”<\/p>\n

While Paulie Malignaggi is clearly not a Conor McGregor<\/a> fan, he thinks the Irishman ought to appreciate what he has rather than linger on the past. His life, after all, is pretty darn good.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomebody\u2019s gotta remind him that he made $100 million,” Malignaggi said. “Someone\u2019s got to remind him that he\u2019s living the good life. He just had a baby. He had a lot of things that really should distract him to not think about Paulie Malignaggi. You make $100 million, you have a couple kids in the past year, you\u2019ve got a documentary that came out, you just signed a big fight<\/a> – I don\u2019t know. I really feel bad for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
