Does he really think this about the sport?

I'm dumbfounded that c*nt even has a training camp. I thought he would be chillin up until fight night. do a couple push ups and walk in ready to get that check.

Only reason he probably training is to get his stamina so they push this fight a couple rounds and don't cheat the consumer too much.

shyt is clown show.

Pauline seems cool. Never liked him as a boxer but seems rather genuine outside the ring.

damn...dude is a old school Italian.
Didnt know they still made them like that.

He should have played it cool to get all the money he could make out of this...and then go kick it with Floyd after the fight.
He didn't get paid

Or maybe he's playing the game and getting his money.
But he said he didn't get paid and wont get paid since he left. He made it seem like he whooped the breaks off Conor. He clearly said, Conor came back strong in rnd 11 and 12. In that same vid he said Conor lacks character when things get tough, but then says Conor showed character in rnds 11 and 12:mindblown:

The Truth
I really don't get dude's problem. They trying to build hype for the fight and they know McGregor's shyt in boxing so they pull pics like that to build hype. I mean if you getting paid :yeshrug: Then get paid.
Theyre doing it at his expense

Paulie is a respected pro boxer. Regardless of all the shyt he gets about pillow soft hands, dude was a winner, champion, and a very intelligent boxing commentator. He knows his shyt

So for Conartist Mcgreggor to insinuate that Paulie got knocked down is cheap and makes Paulie look bad (which is what he intended to do the entire time).

They basically set Paulie up to look bad like Mcgreggor was beating the shyt out of a out of shape, retired professional when that wasn't the truth.

Conor couldve released pics of him with the other sparring partners but didn't. Paulie is a public figure who was going to be asked a ton of questions by regular media and clowned on social media. Conors camp knew that.

Paulie was actually trying to build him up after the first set of pics but the "knockdown" was the last straw especially since it was a push (referee was by Conor, if Paulie was hurt he would be by him instead)

He also said he is out of shape and that was his second sparring session in half a year..

He also said that sparring partners normally dont go a full 12 rounds (to stay fresh) and they don't usually go right after they get off long flights and have set schedules/times they will spar...

Conor did not do any of that with Paulie.. He basically was trying to get every advantage he could to make Paulie look bad.

He said he got tired in the last 2 rounds from being out of shape but if he had been in shape he wouldve seen if Conor had that same "character" while still getting his ass beat

Again, what is the problem with saying this in SEPTEMBER after the check clears?
He doesn't need that kinda check bruh, thats his point.

He didn't negotiate the money, ask for special arrangements or treatment, he didn't even ask them to buy the plane tickets to fly to vegas.

It wasn't about the money, he was genuinely going to try to help Conor and try to be a part of something that special. He also wanted Mcgreggor to bring quality boxing in this match... Which he says will most likely not happen.

He said dude is trash and despite improving, if an out of shape pillow soft punching Paulie can whip your ass for 12 rounds by the second sparring sesh when youre 2-3 weeks out then you might got some problems come August 26

If they're paying him crumbs and disrespecting him, I don't see a problem with what he's doing. If anything, Paulie's "brand" benefits from this.

Put some speck on his name
