Earlier today, on a conference call with the media to promote next week’s mega-fight, Floyd Mayweather Jr. shared his reaction to the viral sensation that is Conor McGregor vs. Paulie Malignaggi’s sparring footage.
In the video released, McGegor was clearly getting the better of the former boxing champion, and here’s what Floyd said:
“I got a chance to see it. It was interesting. But, there was a lot of illegal shots… There was a lot of rabbit punches, punches behind the head. That’s just my opinion.
“I’m pretty sure the referee will be fair. I want the referee to treat us fair and have a good honest fight.”
“We can’t sit here and judge Paulie. A guy who’s been retired, going in there with an athlete period, who’s working out everyday. They shouldn’t have even gone twelve rounds with a young guy who’s active.”
“Even though he has Joe Cortez in his camp, he’s still being very dirty.”
Is he right?
