Paulie Malignaggi opens as betting favorite for possible boxing match with Conor McGregor
It doesn’t seem likely that Paulie Malignaggi and Conor McGregor will ever meet in a real boxing fight, but that’s not stopping oddsmakers from putting out a line on it.
Paulie Malignaggi is angling for a boxing match with Conor McGregor after he’s done with Floyd Mayweather Jr., and Malignaggi has opened as a moderate favorite for the proposed bout. This isn’t a bout that’s likely going to happen, but who doesn’t like to see a betting line for mythical fights?
Conor obviously has bigger business to attend to at the moment, but it might be a bit surprising to see that the pseudo-retired former two-weight champion and current commentator is above -200, even against a guy with zero boxing experience (for now).
If you’ve been paying attention to the lead-up to McGregor vs. Mayweather at all so far, you likely know that Malignaggi and McGregor have butted heads in Conor’s camp. The two men engaged in a couple of spirited sparring sessions, with the last one being subject to a disputed Malignaggi knockdown at the hands of McGregor that led to cryptic edited videos, a whole lot of jabbering, and Malignaggi leaving McGregor’s camp.
Either way, it’s an interesting line I guess. Even if it doesn’t mean anything right now.
