An Open Letter To Robert “The Disappearing Ghost” Guerrero from Paulie “Magic Man” Malignaggi
Dear Robert:
For the past 3 months, you and your team have attempted to trick the media and boxing public into believing that you were on a short list to fight the best fighter in the world, Floyd Mayweather. You also called out every Golden Boy Promotions boxer you could between 135 to 147 pounds, proclaiming your health after shoulder surgery and your readiness to step into the ring in a big fight on May 5th. Every time you had a big bowel movement, your publicist sent an email blast about it.
Two days ago, you and I were offered to fight each other on May 5th as an important supporting pay-per-view bout on the Mayweather vs. Cotto blockbuster PPV. I am sure you will agree that Mayweather vs. Cotto will be the biggest pay-per-view show of the year and on the biggest platform imaginable at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and on HBO PPV. Millions of boxing fans will have the opportunity to finally see if you can back up your recent widespread chatter on the internet.
Robert, I accepted the challenge to fight you within 2 hours of being offered the fight. But I have been informed by our promoter, Golden Boy Promotions, that you have categorically refused to fight me. This news was absolutely shocking to me because I have seen you transform yourself from a cute, soft spoken, California kid to well…someone like me. I give you props for trying to wake up the old boxing farts with sound bites like telling Mayweather to “Step Up Punk” or telling Victor Ortiz 3 days ago that “if you’re really a true warrior, you’ll step in the ring with me.” But take it from an older and wiser Magic Man that has never needed to hide behind a publicist and has always backed up his words by stepping in with the best fighters in the world….if you start talking the way you have been talking…you better be ready to accept whatever challenges come your way.
Robert, I know that you and your team have been present in the Arena for my past two fights and you have seen how good I have looked in dismantling my opponents. And maybe your advisors think that all the garlic in Gilroy won’t protect you should we fight on May 5th. But you need to find the Mexican warrior within yourself and back up your hot air by stepping into the ring on the day of pride and heritage for your people, Cinco De Mayo. Because if you think you deserve to fight the elite boxers in this world, you need to earn it with more than just a trigger happy publicist. You are a paper Champion that has never fought anyone in the Top 100 of boxing. Beating a geriatric Joel Casamayor or the Australian punching bag that is Michael Katsidis does not earn you the right to call out Floyd Mayweather, Amir Khan, and Victor Ortiz. Beating me on May 5th might get you one step closer to that honor.
So come on, Robert. Don’t become a big joke with the boxing world. What are you afraid of? Coming off shoulder surgery? I have had more surgery on my hands than an aging Beverly Hills housewife. Are you for real or are you truly just a ghost with a good publicist?
Always,
The Magic Man

The Magic Man
guerrero is officially on blast from the magic man
that's what the best talker in boxing sounds like ^
right there. that's what he sounds like. after boxing malinaggi would do well as a member of a promotional team or a manager. i wonder if GBP will recognize talent when it walks through the door when malinaggi decides to retire
i could see him ruling GBP NY//northeast with an iron fist and packing ballrooms and the like.
only issue with this fight :
it could be insanely boring. it would be up to guerrero to make a fight out of it, against a much bigger man with a very good chin. paulie is a pure boxer with ZERO pop
Paulie is the ****ing man and I don't understand why people dislike him. He's a cool ass humble dude who loves spending time with the fans. He's a warrior too sh1t look at the fight vs. Cotto. Real entertaining character.
Far from it
I support paulie but he really irritates me
Lost some respect for The Ghost if this is true (and I don't really have any reason to doubt Magic Man).
Disgraceful from The Ghost. This is a good opportunity and would be a good name to get on the C.V.
lolz at pm trying to get a fight buy his mouthpiece...as he always does...with no ko power lolz..ghost should just fight this dude tho...and shut him up...i agree hes just a name now a days anyways ....
That's right Robert "Casper" Guerrero ain't nothing, but a disparate b!+(h looking for a pay day with out earning it. Wtf happened to him calling out Everybody from 135-147 in witch all 3 divisions he hasn't DONE $H!T!!!
Gotta give Paulie credit for this.
Guerrero wants a big fight without actually going out of his way to earn it. One decision over shot katsiditis and now he already wants a cash out fight.
Roberta is too scared to actually fight live guys. Dudes a bum, take the fight or STFU puta.
Interesting, why wouldn't Guerrero take this fight? Paulie is a name, it is great exposure.
too much high risk/low reward for him. If he fights a bigger name, its more money and a loss at that weight isnt that bad looking. Ghost is trying to have it both ways
Interesting, why wouldn't Guerrero take this fight? Paulie is a name, it is great exposure.
Its the new generation of fraudulent fighters. All bark, no bite. Its the world of Twitter warriors instead of Ring warriors
Can't imagine why Guerrero would turn that down. He'd probably make a quarter mill against a name on a huge stage in a VERY winnable fight. In fact I think he can stop Paulie.
And gotta love Paulie...this letter had me rolling.
