Well, basic summary is: Paulie says that he came to the McGregor camp out of the 'Goodness of his heart' but they put him in a 'dilapidated crack house with chipped paint'. He heard rumours about Conor and they turned out to be true. Says he's one of those fighters that looks for a way out but special fighters look for a way in. That's he's just a front runner, with no character. Tells us that in the first sparring session McGregor got the better of it because his own conditioning wasn't the best. Next day Paulie sees the hands behind the back picture online and was a little pissed off. That week when back in New York he says he jogged all week and sparred with some young prospect to keep his eyes sharp. When back to Vegas the McGregor team tell him he's sparring 12 rounds the next day. Paulie's not bothered though as he's "ready this time". Conor was better this spar also though and after the 7th Conor says, "Seven-Zero me!"" Paulie says 'Learn to count' and then shouts at Dana "This is the bitch you brought me?". Next round Paulie gets pushed down and tells Conor he only did it to get a break... but Conor comes strong again in the final rounds as Paulie "fades out" and feels "spent". In the locker room Conor comes in and says, "Hey, good work" and Paulie says, "Yeah, good work.... but no more of these crazy pictures (referring to the hands behind back shot). Conor laughs and says he doesn't know, they got some good shots today. Paulie tells him if he puts them out he'll let him have it on Twitter and then saus Conor is a dickhead and that nobody knows who any of the other sparring partners are, unlike him, who is a public figure. Ariel asks him about the comments he made in interviews, but he says he said nothing which made Conor look bad... Ariel doesn't challenge him as Paulie is speaking a hundred miles an hour. Next day no sparring and Paulie wakes up to a Facebook message from Conor and it shows images of him on the canvas but he thinks Conor is just messing. They all get called to gym but are asked to wait in another section as their going through moves which they don't want the sparring partners to see and Paulie gets furious as he feels that Conor must have known they weren't going to be sparring that day. Phone blows up and Paulie sees that the image of him on the canvas has been posted online by someone in the McGregor camp and Paulie tells the other sparring partners he doesn't have to deal with this crap and goes to a hotel. Says he feels sorry for how Conor makes them live in a crack house.... but then refers to them as "basic shit" and says Conor could have had him and Berto. Ariel points out that he said on Twitter that he wouldn't have an issue with any media posted but he says he didn't think they would be disrespectful.....but yet then says he knew they would disrespectful as they had been to Van Heerden. Paulie says Conor is the biggest dirtbag he's ever met in his life. The End.

Kenny: "So Paulie was saying about Conor last December that the guy holding the camera could outbox Conor and saying he'd win with one hand behind his back. Then you see pictures of Paulie with a black eye and bloodied up. If Conor shouldn't be boxing the camera guy and Paulie is so damn good, how is he getting hit? How is he getting hurt? I think he's going back to eat his words. Paulie needs to be more self-aware that this is not coming across well for him." Kenny on the "Yes-Men" and Conor's unwillingness to take Paulie's advice: "Malinaggi isn't his coach! Conor does not trust a lot of people and he's definitely not going to take advice from a guy who was talking sh1t about him, not to mention I don't think you'd even want to approach Floyd from a traditional boxing manner with boxing advice if you're Conor, you'd want to come at this from a different perspective". Kenny on Paulie working the broadcast: "And then this guy is going to call the fight?? WHAT! Honestly, it's extremely weird." Jon Anik: "The guy shouldn't be calling this fight". Kenny: "It's way too close to the source. Even I feel funny having trained with Conor 5 years ago giving analysis on this fight, I really don't know about the decision on Showtime's part to allow Paulie to call this fight."
thewheel2.0 wrote: » Hah, Kenny Florian is worried about integrity :pac: On a side note. The likes of FightHype and ESNEWS are a bad look for boxing. They are like the sports branch of TMZ, with videos consisting solely of Floyd topless. Doesn't line up with the idea of Boxing being a gentleman's sport.

It's all he knows, which is how he ended up challenging Floyd Mayweather to a boxing match, even though Conor doesn't actually box. He's going to make $100 million, motivation enough to fight, but there's something else too, a man so against limits that he pushes past the point of sanity. As the financial details were ironed out, Conor pulled Kavanagh aside. They were at McGregor's house in the exclusive and pastoral K Club, which once hosted a Ryder Cup. "I don't give a f--- about the money," he told his coach. "This is Bruce Lee s---. This is the water filling the cup." [\Quote] Is the water filling the cup the money or is it the knowledge conor might get from this experience? Also interesting how he says he does not care about the money.probs not entirely true but probs not surprising for sports people that reach high levels.

wonderfullife wrote: » If he felt that strongly about it he could threaten to walk from the fight unless they got rid of Paulie and, in that event, Espinoza would drop Malignaggi like a hot potato. There's no way Espinoza wants any drama this close to the fight and Malignaggi is easily replaceable by one of the other Showtime analysts like Daniel Jacobs/Amir Khan. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they yank Paulie from the broadcast and it comes out in the wash that Conor objected to him. Put it this way, they objected publicly to Kenny Bayless and his comments weren't even that bad.
pastorbarrett wrote: » Is this all just Paulie angling for a scrap at this point? Thought his reply regarding Ariel's assertion that it'd easily do a million buys was less than convincing and somewhat disingenuous. Fat McGregor vs Fat Paulie in 2020, the long held beef finally settled in a bucket of chicken speed eating contest.

Gardaí believe they foiled a gang hit when they arrested two men and seized a fire arm in south Dublin on Monday night. Two low level Kinahan associates were arrested during the operation in Ballyfermot. Gardaí believe they were planning to kill gangland target Michael Frazer. Frazer has survived at least five attempts on his life in the last three years. A loaded handgun, along with a can of petrol, were found when gardaí stopped their van. It is believed that the two men (aged 34 and 38), members of the Kinahan crime cartel, were on their way to shoot Frazer, who lives in the Crumlin area. The men were wearing gloves and camouflage clothing, RTE Reports. The pair were intercepted by the garda Emergency Response Unit on the Kylemore Road in Ballyfermot at around 8pm on Monday evening. They are currently being question in Crumlin Garda Station, having been detained on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder. Gardaí do not believe the foiled shooting is feud related but is "related to the internal workings of the organisation". Local councillor Daithí de Róiste said: "This is another example of how criminality remains a serious problem in Dublin. "I would like to praise the quick action of Gardaí. It is very likely they have foiled a gangland hit." Councillor Daithi Doolan praised gardaí for potentially saving someone's life. He told Independent.ie: "I would like to congratulate the gardai whose actions have saved a life. "This intelligence led operation has helped to protect life. "I absolutely condemn criminals for their activities in Dublin, who tonight were found to be behaving with blatant disregard for the safety of the community. "People would have been put in danger by these criminals, including children who are out playing on the streets. "The gardai deserve to be fully resourced in their fight against crime and I will be looking for more resources for gardai in Ballyfermot. "They clearly saved someone's life tonight."
