Malignaggi quits McGregor camp due to social media photos
Paulie Malignaggi has quit Conor McGregor’s camp ahead of the Irishman’s clash with Floyd Mayweather on 26 August in Las Vegas.
The reason for Malignaggi’s decision to leave the Notorious’ entourage is down to social media, with the former two-time world champion claiming photos posted online of their sparring sessions were innacture and misleading.
Speaking to ESPN, Malignaggi said: "I wanted to be part of this event, but I didn't want to become the story and that's what this has turned into.
“I won't release any information about his game plan or what he's working on, I wouldn't do that. But this has become a fiasco.
“It's a circus. And I do want that sparring video released. I understand it can't come out now, but Conor, if you have any balls, release what really happened.
“There was a pushdown. Conor on the inside, he can get a little rough. He shoved me down, you know, but no knockdowns.”
