Paulie details his intentions behind the upcoming sparring sessions with McGregor.
(paraphrased)
"First few sessions we'll both be going at it to see where Conor's boxing is at.
After that I'll show Conor how to utilise his own dirty tricks and be aware of Floyd's tricks. Conor needs the ability to use his boxing as a decoy, to set up punches. Using trickery to disguise punches so that he can land follow up punches is something he needs against a guy as crafty as Mayweather. Power isn't as important as being able to land punches.
I had a look at mayweather's mole's report, it said like that:
"Dear floyd,
Today's connor's job was:
- one step forward, throw jab.
- one step backward, throw jab.
Tomorrow they will be working on 'dont put your right hand down when you throw your left hand'. But that's not 100% sure since today's job was maybe too much for him.
We will keep in touch.
BR, the mole."
This is all part of selling the fight. He can go back on showtime and tell how Conor's boxing skills are fine and he was surprised by Conor. It's all a plan to make people think it's competitive. It's so obvious and people are buying into it. What better to way to try and eliminate the mismatch aspect of it by sending their own employee in to get first hand knowledge and then come back and tell lies. I'll be surprised if they even spar, or they might do a little bit for photos/footage to make it convincing.
This......
They couldn't find Mcgregor any sparring partners who wouldn't knock him out so... they called Paulie :rofl:
If Paulie KO's him it would kill the entire promotion.
You people are something else. Paulie is from Brooklyn, NY and his parents are pure Sicilian immigrants. I don't think that type of rat **** is even in his DNA. Every one thinks they see the ***** in the armor. Maybe sitting in the commentators chair gave Paulie an idea that team McGregor is willing to give a try. I don't know if Paulie is going to help or hinder McGregor because the complexities of boxing go beyond just teaching someone how to throw punches and not be hit. The saying to many cooks spoil the pot could never be closer to the truth then in McGregor's situation. Unless Floyd Mayweather went full senior citizen post retirement this should be the first time we see Floyd Maul an opponent.
...yeah because no Sicilian ever turned rat right......

I'm shocked McGregor would trust Paulie not to give secrets away
Mayweather had a mole in PACs camp. He probably paid a pac sparring partner to give him info on PAC . he could easily pay off paulie who's been a Floyd fanboy and would probably happily try to help him win.
:lol1: As if Floyd is gonna need to know what Conner is working on. The guy is a freaking novice in boxing

Paulie on the phone with Floyd after every sparring session

Did he tell him he was knocked out
Yeah I'm sure he will.
Paulie will also show Conor how to sit down on his punches and KO guys with one punch
I'm sure Floyd is shaking in his boots (with lifts).
This is all Mayweather has ever dealt with, and the only thing he knows(Boxing). 6 weeks isn't gonna be enough to teach this dude anything. As a matter of fact the less brain power he uses the better off he'll probably be.
