It looks like UFC super-personality Conor McGregor will have another big boxing offer heading his way.

talkSport’s Michael Benson reports that Paulie Malignaggi, who recently signed with Bare Knuckle FC (BKFC), told him the promotion is preparing a “mega-money” offer for Conor McGregor. Malignaggi wants to settle his differences with McGregor in a bare knuckle boxing fight:

“Told by Paulie Malignaggi that the BKFC are preparing a mega money offer to Conor McGregor for a bare-knuckle boxing match with him.

“He insists they have more money than people think and also confirmed it’s possible he could make his June debut against Artem Lobov.”

McGregor’s longtime training partner and friend, Artem Lobov, is gearing up for his BKFC debut. He’ll face fellow former UFC featherweight Jason Knight. If he emerges victorious, this could set up a fight between Lobov and Malignaggi. The former boxing champion hopes to lure McGregor into a fight with him a some point down the line.

Speaking to Fight Sports’ Matt Ryan recently, Malignaggi said he believes BKFC can match the numbers that McGregor is making to fight in the UFC:

“I think the only kind of fight that he can’t be matched (financially) is his fight with (Floyd) Mayweather,” Malignaggi said. “I think we’ll be able to make him an offer the he didn’t even make for the Khabib fight.

“Let’s be honest, his base for the Khabib fight was only $3 million… but BKFC can match those numbers and make it worthwhile for him. Then in the end, it’ll have to be worthwhile in that does he want to take an embarrassing defeat and catch a beating from me.”

Paulie Malignaggi is ready to fight again.

However, this time, it’ll be in a slightly different environment.

Per a press release, the former WBA welterweight champion has signed with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Malignaggi exits retirement to test himself in a different venture. A venture that the likes of former UFC fighters Artem Lobov and Jason “The Kid” Knight have recently signed on for.

Malignaggi is a former boxing champion with a career record of 36-8. Only seven of his victories have come by way of knockout. He had this to say about his new journey with BKFC:

“I’ve accomplished some big things in my boxing career, and I look forward to what this next phase brings. After a long boxing career, it’s easy to miss the limelight and the rush that combat brings. I look forward to getting back in action and the new challenge of fighting for BKFC.”

BKFC President David Feldman sounds very excited about now having a former boxing world champion on his roster:

“At this time in our company’s growth, we needed to add a legitimate and well-established world champion boxer to our roster, and I believe with Paulie’s ability and personality we’ve done just that. Paulie is the perfect fit for us.”

To make things even more interesting, NBC Sports Radio’s Helen Yee reports that Malignaggi is targeting a fight with Conor McGregor training partner Artem Lobov. Lobov will face fellow former UFC fighter Jason Knight on April 6th. McGregor and Malignaggi had a bad falling out after video of their sparring footage from 2017 leaked out online.

The pair have been bitter enemies ever since. If Lobov wins his fight against Knight, expect BKFC to capitalize on the storyline:

“Sources have told me Paulie Malignaggi is about to sign with @bareknucklefc and is expected to fight Artem Lobov if he wins his fight April 6. @PaulMalignaggi@RusHammerMMA
