Floyd Mayweather Jr. added another layer to his feud with Conor McGregor on Thursday, saying that he and former McGregor sparring partner Paulie Malignaggi conspired so Malignaggi could spy on McGregor.
In an interview with FightHype.com (h/t TMZ Sports), Mayweather said Malignaggi has been on his side the entire time: “Paulie has always been my friend. … My friend called me and said, ‘Floyd, do you want me to go to [Conor’s] camp?’ I said, ‘Abso-f–kin’-lutely.’ … Paulie, thank you for going over there like I asked you to do.”
Malignaggi was alongside Mayweather during the interview and kept saying, “suckas,” seemingly in reference to McGregor and his camp.
