Paulie Malignaggi says 'My problem with Conor McGregor is his arrogance - he is also very cheap'
Paulie Malignaggi previously labelled McGregor as a 'scumbag' and a 'dirtbag' Getty Images - Getty "When you don't like someone you don't spar them, you fight them.
"It's picked up a ton of momentum, the bad blood is there so let's fight.
"We'll need to see how he looks against Mayweather. If he looks dog s***, no one will want to see us fight.

He added: "I'm a businessman, once this all started coming out, my eyes went to the calendar when this thing started buzzing."
