Social media is a powerful tool for fighters to get their points accross to their fans and any potential opponents.
Since entering the Conor McGregor debate, boxing’s Paulie Malignaggi has mastered the craft.
Once training partners, Conor McGregor and Paulie Malignaggi quickly became rivals. Both men wanting to fight the other in their respective disciplines, McGregor recently called out the boxer to come over to the UFC, “For a real fight!”.
Once Conor’s callout went public, in typical Paulie fashion, he took to twitter to voice his grievances.
Here’s what the former boxing champion said,
Gotta back up all that big talk you had IN THE RING now, men back up their words while pussies are all talk. Time to back it up now #NoBalls https://t.co/Tue7qS5XVu

It is, that's why I told him to his face to bring his balls. He tends to forget those. He's talking, gonna need balls to back his talk up. https://t.co/zFMXostSbR

Exactly. Plus we all get tired late in the fight. Only those with no balls outright stop fighting back though so Ref can stop the fight. https://t.co/CM0zLzgGLO

So, it doesn’t sound like Paulie is presently entertaining Conor’s offer to face him in the UFC’s Octagon… But should he?
Thanks for checking us out. Have a fantastic day!
