Conor McGregor never tires of creating disaffection. The highlight is former world boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi, who helped the Irishman during the preparation for the duel against Floyd Mayweather, which takes place on August 26th, in Las Vegas (USA). After the controversial video leaked in which the lightweight champion appears knocking down Malignaggi, the boxer rebelled and not only left the camp, but also challenged his new rival to a professional boxing fight.

“This crazy person never did anything like that. He consistently pressures me with these edited videos and edited photos. Now is the time. Now we have this rivalry. We're going to have to fight. (…) This has become a joke in boxing. They had to cover it somehow. Good job. Good editing, Hollywood edited it. It was adorable, cute. But at the end of the day, you start to see holes in your game every day”, declared Paulie, in an interview with the program 'MMA Hour'.
