Just saw this:
"Negotations going on. Paulie Malignaggi has been named as the mandatory for the WBA's champion at the WBA's convention," said Schaefer. "The WBA champion is Senchenko. So we are currently in negotiations with Senchenko's promoter and trying to see that that fight can be made."
how did he become the mandatory by fighting 2 bums? oh golden boy is his promoter that's how. anyway senchenko will destroy him. he's the number 7 p4p fighter in the world for a reason.

Can't tell if serious
I think this is a case of extremely smart match making by Golden Boy. They want to put a strap on one of their young 140-147 fighters (probably Devon Alexander), but don't want to risk sending him to Senchenkos back yard. If Paulie goes over there and wins a title, they can match him with one of their young fighters in an HBO WCB main event in America. If Paulie loses, it's not really a big deal.
Good move by GBP all around.

DO IT.
Paulie is cool, guido, but cool. Senchenko is a eastern european mini-boss. He ain't full boss yet, he needs more comp but he is cool too. Ukraine? why all the best Euro fighters come from Ukraine? really. Even Black russian is from Ukraine.
Anyways. Want to see this fight. Don't care if pillows will be thrown.
