This is more interesting than the Mayweather fight.

Fogarty posted it too.

It's still up and Gerry captioned it:

"That oh my god power".

Indicating Conor dropped Paulie.

Have to say I strongly dislike this Byrne fella. He was the one who went through his brother to get Paulie's number and now he's out there laughing behind his back? Paulie would snap Byrne in half.

Yup, just a half hour ago too and a much higher res which initially it wasn't..... and captioned:

There no conspiracy, there no photoshop just pure unadulterated power

If it was a push....... which most likely it was, let's be honest..... I still don't get why Paulie would moan publicly (until after the fight at least).

I mean, isn't that why sparring partners sign non disclosure agreements surely. Or he could have had a word privately.

Gamebred

His ego is being battered since he entered the camp hence the saltyness imo,


Even if it was contrived it done its job and made the headlines, this week alone the gloves thing now this so next my prediction Floyd is ko'd in training or something along them lines.

Same thing as Van Heerden really, they post edited footage/shots to make the boxer look bad. The boxer gets hounded about it and tells everyone how it actually went down.

Gamebred

PMSL what a ****show, more interested in that fight now tbh.

Gamebred

Pretty sure that tweet breaks the contract he would've signed? laugh if Conor sued him

Outlaw Pete

More.... he's losing it. lol.

The absolute state of Paulie.

Outlaw Pete

He apparently also said the following in a phone call with Brett:

"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. The UFC's PI definitely has that video.

"I understand it can't come out now, but Conor, if you have any balls, release what really happened."

GerryDerpy

If Paulie didn't want to become the story he shouldn't be running off doing interviews.

You'd swear the McGregor camp put up a photo of him pulling his handle in the jacks the way he is going on.

Yeah it had livened things up for a few days. Couldn't take three more weeks of it though

Sweet Science

Very unprofessional from McGregor camp. Why would any boxer want to spar with him now?


It was a pushdown. You can tell by Cortez

Inviere

A sparring partner would want to be absolutely thick not to think McGregor isn't going to cherry pick pictures to portray a certain idea or image.

What McGregor is doing has never really happened before and its an unspoken rule . I think they are just trying to make a fool of Paulie from the start though . I hope im wrong and he is in on it as part of the show but he does come across legitamately annoyed

McGregors social media presence is a huge part of his makeup though, I feel it's naive to think he was going to do anything that hurts his image picture wise with it. I would expect no different of Floyd either.

I knew Paulie was going to be run out of that camp as soon as he started doing all those interviews. They even captioned the pushdown photo with "that oh my god power" which directly refers to Paulie's interviews.

Conors supposed power is an angle they are trying to use to sell the fight, to try and convince punters he has at least a punchers chance. Paulie blabbing to everyone and their mother that his power is nothing special was always going to cause problems.

Sweet Science

Its always been an unwritten rule not to post images or footage from sparring making someone look bad or of them getting put down etc

I agree its a bit naive of Paulie not to suspect they would release photos etc but the one last night was probably just a bit OTT for him. He already thought they were trying to make a fool of him before the spar and then releasing that pic as if he was knocked down was the straw that broke the camels back.

Lukker-

Wonder will he replace him. Dashon Johnson is a solid pro to do rounds with but IMO he'd want another high level sparring partner to see what works/doesn't.

Second time McGregor and his leeches have tried this with a pro boxer and the second time they've been called out on it.
Joke of a camp.

From the right side of Paulie's face in both sessions, I think it's fair to surmise there's been some serious work put into Conor's right hand.

Recheck that statement lad, you can't extrapolate that in a boxing stance.
