Going all the way back to “The Money Fight,” Paulie Malignaggi has come off like a man scheming to make one last big cash grab. Conor McGregor ’s star power entered the orbit of Floyd Mayweather during the memorable summer of 2017, as the biggest stars in MMA and boxing joined forces to make enough money that neither would have to work another day in their lives if they so chose. Their boxing match in Las Vegas did the second-highest buy rate in pay-per-view history, with Mayweather reportedly pocketing $300 million and McGregor $100 million. In the masterful process of hyping the bout, footage was conveniently leaked of McGregor dropping former WBA and IBF champion Malignaggi during a sparring session.
